Whenever I walk by Pinot's Palette, it looks like the people inside are having a blast, so I'd been wanting to try it for myself for some time. My friend and I joined a Tuesday night, 2-hour class for $29/person. My friend hasn't painted much, so I specifically chose a date when the artwork looked simpler. The paint, brushes, canvas, water cup, etc. are all prepared before you arrive. The instructor painted step-by-step and provided just enough time in between steps, so it was very beginner-friendly. There was a small crowd on Tuesday but no less vibrant. Half way through the class, the instructor guided us through drinking games, and there was a painting giveaway, too. The interior is spacious and quirky with paintings covering the walls and an open bar at the back. Highly recommend for painters of all levels looking for a fun time! read more

Love the way you can come out with your own masterpiece in just an hour! Only con was the way that I felt super stressed and rushed to finish each step since the teacher emphasized she will move on and we will get behind if we're not fast enough. So it was not as relaxing lol. read more

Went with my girlfriend for her birthday and had lots of fun. The instructor helps a lot and it's just a jolly old time. I'd recommend this for a date night or a fun night out with friends. read more

It pains me to leave a 2 star review but I've been here 3 times now and this past 3rd time has me convinced to never return. For the record I'm giving 2 stars because the instructor & the bartender were GREAT. Very sweet, helpful, friendly, & patient girls. However, I can't even bring myself to give a 3 star review because they are SO STRICT about the whole ID policy. Like literally if you forget to bring your ID even if you have a pic of your ID or a video of your ID you get turned away with NO refund. This happened to my friend(s) TWICE on TWO separate occasions. This past weekend my girlfriend forgot it because she switched purses & rushed down to Pasadena all the way from Diamond Bar to be on time & they still turned her away. Terrible. Like please I know grocery stores, liquor stores, & clubs that aren't as strict as this joint. Not only that but if you're not local & need to go back home to get your ID don't even try to make it back for the session you paid for because if your 30 minutes late you're not allowed in the class anymore. Crazy because I could've sworn I already graduated from college strict classroom rules but I guess not lmao. My other reason for giving this place a low review is because when our session was over it's like they're RUSHING you out of the door. I stepped away from my paint area for a moment to put my apron back on the hanger & they literally took my wine which was at least half way full and threw it away!! Like bitch be for real I just purchased a session which is $38 (it used to be $35 now it's more with inflation lmao) & I also purchased FOUR glasses of wine (2 for me & 2 for my friends) but that's how you're gonna treat a paying customer?? Honestly, this past experience was not great. Our paintings came out nice but it would've been nicer if our friends were there & if my drink wasn't just tossed away like that. There are so many of these wine & sip classes so if you're shopping around please look elsewhere as this place isn't really worth it. I've been to other wine & sip classes where it's a much more fun & relaxed vibe. At other places they literally bring the drinks to you or let you bring your own drinks/snacks as well. This place is just too strict & I'm over it! read more

I came to Pinot's Palette for a work event. I have been to paint and sip before, but I thought Pinot's Palette had a super nice and modern decor (the other place I went to was in an older building). Because it was a work event, we had the studio to ourselves, which was great. I found out later that there is parking that they validate here, but I parked in Delacy parking lot (it was relatively cheap. I believe it is $6 for the whole day) and walked over. They had also told us that we could not bring our own alcohol, but can bring other drinks and snacks. To get alcohol, you will need to order at their bar. I did not get any, but the prices were not too bad. I will fully admit that I am not the best painter or artist (LOL). But, the instructor gave us step by step on how to paint. Mines came out pretty decent (or that I think). I wanted to give a shout out to our instructor who was super nice, but I forgot to jot down her name. But, all in all, I thought this was a super good experience and you get to take home a souvenir that you made yourself. If you have an event to plan, I would definitely consider Pinot's Palette. I am also thinking of going there myself since I had such a good time! read more

First time going to their paint night, and I am absolutely in love ! After a rough week, my friend booked us for the class. We got there a bit late, but the owner,Freddy greeted us friendly at the door and guided us in. All the staff is super friendly and kind. The atmosphere is amazing and we had such a good time! I felt a bit intimidated for a minute, but everyone is eager to help you and make sure you enjoy yourself and have a good time! I 100% recommend , and will definitely keep coming back . Thank you Freddy and staff for your kindness and great service . read more

I came here to celebrate my birthday and a friend's. If you are scared of painting or think that you won't be good--- don't even worry. This place is sooooo welcoming and the entire atmosphere is chill. There were friends, couples, even people by themselves that came. The teacher went slowly and every level of of painter was having fun. You'll see her demonstrating on a huge screen so you can see no matter where you sit. The entire class was packed. You can buy beer and wine here (credit card is accepted). There is someone filling up your paint palette whenever you run dry. It's very easy to sign up online and you can even order supplies for a virtual paint party! There's street parking on green st and many nearby structures. We were able to walk here and as we should since we had more than a few drinks hehe. I will be back! Thanks Pinot Palette for making my first paint night so memorable :) It was so sweet that they gave us a free painting for your birthday! read more

super fun date idea for couples and friends! instructors are really friendly and engaging, they'll run you through each step of the painting :) read more

So I am not an artist, and by far I am not a painter at all. I just had a great experience painting and having fun here! The event is well organized and the staff is very nice and really informative. How this place works is that you reserve online, they have a picture that you are going to paint, you show up and the instructor walks you through on how to paint it. They provide aprons, the paint, and the technique. If you get lost, the staff would gladly help you. You also don't have to follow the instructors directions to the T because it's up to you at the very end. This place is a great hang out spot with friends or on a date. They also have a bar in the back so you can get something to drink while you paint. Just be careful not to dip your brush in your drink. Overall, it's a great place and I highly recommend this place. Definitely a 5/5. read more

Came here to support the Pasadena Jaycees and had a really fun time. We painted the Colorado Bridge in Pasadena. They take you by step by step on how to recreate the painting with an instructor leading and two video screens to keep up. They also have a bar that serves wine and beer so you can sip and paint. A fun fundraiser activity. read more

came here for a date night. loved it. the instructor goes at a good pace to where you can keep up, i do not reccomend being late though because you will have to catch up on your own !! lol loved the vibe and atmosphere. the instructor was funny and it was just a good time all around. will definitely plan this again read more

This is such a fun girls night out idea! Came to a class with 5 of my girlfriends, super easy to book and check in process. They had set up the easel and paint tray at the table with our names. They have a purse/coat cubie section, clean restrooms, and a good selection of beer and wine. Bartender/owner was super perky and recommended that we buy the bottle of wine instead of individual glasses, that saved us some money ;-) The owners were very pleasant, checked in on us often, even took our picture at the end of the night. The artist was super friendly and explained the whole process step by step. This is my 2nd time attending a class like this, so I definitely don't have any painting or creative experience but this class is for all levels. There was another artist / assistant walking around offering help, refilling the paints and giving us some good tips. The music was good, at times got too loud, but it felt like a casual party/friends hangout. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good time, to get some creativity flowing, release some stress, sip wine and paint! read more

Love the concept and idea of learning how to paint while drinking some wine :). My gf and I have been here twice and we both enjoyed our experiences here and always compare which one turned out better. Location is nice as it's located right in the heart of downtown Pasadena. Perfect for a date idea or if you just want to learn how to paint and drink some wine. Highly recommend ! read more

Been here several times and always does not disapponint! Staff are great and welcoming. Always fun here! Maye it be weekdays or weekends! read more

Sometimes life throws us stressful days, what better way to decompress than with painting and wine? Come and enjoy both at this cute and fun location in Pasadena! The class I took was two hours long but it flew by so quickly. The instructor even threw in some jokes and had us all laughing. In the end you get to take home your artwork! Check it out! read more

I found Pinot's Palette on Google because I really enjoyed my experience with paint nite a year ago. I signed up for the Project Pet class, sent in a picture of my dog, and waited patiently for the day to come. My bf and I arrived about 10 minutes before, put our stuff away in cubbies, and bought a beer to share. Pinot's Palette prepared a custom grayscale outline of our pets onto a canvas, which was super helpful. All the colors that we will potentially use have already been set up except for the background color. The instructor will come around asking for the color we wanted for the background and bringing us a separate plate with the colors we requested. The class was 3 hours long in total with a short break in between and time went by fast! The instructor started with the background, then focusing in on base color of fur, texture, and lastly the details of the face. Overall, I'm super happy with my painting and it reminded me of how much I missed art. Highly recommend this location! read more

This was so fun! I've done a few paint nights in my time and Pinot's Palette is the best one! No experience is required so don't worry if the last time you painted was in Kindergarten. The artist is so fun and comes around to help if you're struggling. I really enjoyed this location and especially the staff. They are so welcoming and FUN! Don't forget to bring your ID. They do check to make sure you're 21 at the door. Happy painting! read more

The place is very nice and the staff were great, but I think for the price they charge, our class didn't have enough time to complete our painting (we had to rush so it wasn't relaxing) and wine isn't included. Still love the concept, but keep in mind what your experience will be like with the more complicated paintings and the time limit. read more

The staff is very sweet, the place is clean, and the instructions while painting are very straightforward. It felt more like a party and it was so fun. I'm definitely coming back. read more

Fun experience! It is a nice date spot it gets you out your comfort zone especially with a couple of drinks. The bartender was super friendly and our instructor did a great job at explaining step by step how to paint our canvas. They give you a few breaks in between to allow your painting to dry as well as to check on your car (metered parking). Although while we were there apparently they have an underground parking area but you have to register your car upon arriving into Pinot's which the instructor explained throughly. I would call ahead of time to make sure you know where the parking structure is located it makes it easier then to find parking on the street and be stressed about getting a ticket since it's only a 2 hour limit. read more

Wife and I decided to visit Pinot's Pallette for our 10 Year Anniversary. We had a great time. The guide was funny, and fun, and ran the class at the perfect pace. Wine was good, and not too wildly overpriced. We had a great time, and ended up with some nice paintings. read more

I've always wanted to do a sip and paint and my friend gifted me with this experience. I must say it was extremely fun, I'm shocked I was able to make art, granted for myself I did a 2 hour time slot but I really think an hour to an hour and a half is more than enough time. I got kinda restless after being in my seat for so long. The staff is nice and the teacher goes at a decent pace. People were being very creative with their drawings. Which was fun to see. The only reason why I give this 4 stars is because my friend said every sip and paint they been to INCLUDE the unlimited wine but this place doesn't. I parked in the meter I couldn't find the parking that this location says they have. The cost of the drinks aren't horrible but I still think for the price they should include at least 2 cups of wine if they won't do unlimited but other than that it was cool. Probably won't be back but still fun overall. read more

My friend organized her birthday to be celebrated at Pinot's Palette - something new and fun that not many have done before. There are quite a few "Paint Night" locations out there, but Pinot's is slightly different in that they have physical locations where a wine bar exists - in the chance that you might want to sip whilst you paint. So you basically go on-line and select the right date and the painting that you wish to draw. You can sign up multiple people and they'll send you a confirmation email to remind you of the painting appointment. Everything is provided, so all you have to do is show up on time. The Pasadena location is located on Green Street by CorePower Yoga and Again Café x Chibiscus Ramen. There's street parking as well as parking in the private lot on Dayton and Pasadena Avenue, where you're able to park in the designated retail spots. I'd recommend getting to the studio about 10-15 minutes prior to when it's supposed to start. That way you can get situated, put your things in a cubby, get your apron, and buy any drinks that you want to consume. Each session is taught by one of their artists. They have a sample of an already finished easel, and the instructor will take you through the steps from start to finish. I believe there are various levels of difficulty, so choose an easier one if it's your first time. You're able to improvise as you see fit, but they have staff situated around the room to help you out with anything you might need. All paint, brushes, water, etc. are provided which is super convenient! Our painting was of a lake with lily pads - not too difficult, but not the easiest either. In the end I did an okay job - definitely do not consider myself an artist, which clearly shows in my work. But it's super fun and chill - the more people there are, the busier and cozier the environment. I love that they take the time to celebrate anybody's birthday or special occasions. My friend got a pretty gigantic and tasty cupcake that she shared with me - it was a nice treat! They also had several social media contests during the session where the first few people to check in, etc. could pick out any pre-made painting to take home. tl;dr - Super fun painting event to celebrate my friend's birthday. The workers here are all super friendly and helpful. Prices are not too bad - about $29 per painter without the cost of any additional alcohol - and they also offer corporate events and birthday parties. Glad I got a chance to try Pinot's Palette out! read more

It's called a Paint & Sip studio so for an almost $40 ticket, I thought the wine came with it. But it's completely separate, and you have to order it by yourself at the bar. I think it ended up being around $8 for a glass of wine? As for the class itself, everyone was super nice and the instructors taught you every single step of how to create the painting. They do go a tad fast sometimes, but that may be just the alcohol talking. Not bad if you enjoy the class setting! Though, I do think it could be cheaper/more fun to just do this at home. read more

Seeking experiences instead of material stuff. Opted to try Pinot's Palette in Pasadena. Good choice as booking was easy, great location in Pasadena, free parking, good vibe and helpful-fun staff.

What service this establishment has..EVEN during a global pandemic! "Safer at Home Policy" doesn't mean we can't support small businesses. I've really been missing my nephews and they face time me almost every day asking when they can see me. My fiancé and I decided to surprise them with a paint night event- safely social distancing of course. The kits are EXTREMELY reasonably priced and you can even purchase an easel. All in all, a set of 4 was about $100- $25 per person is quite a steal! And you get to keep the easel and brushes! Please check out there website and see the different paintings they have to offer. Perfect for a date night, Mother's Day event, or just keeping your kids busy! read more

Just show up and they will take you through step by step and you end up with an amazing painting! read more

Let me start off my saying I'm no Picasso and I was pretty nervous about painting but they make the classes easy to follow. I must say I was pretty impressed with how my paintings came out. I've been here twice both times with a group of friends. This is the perfect place to come celebrate a birthday or just hangout out, paint, drink & be merry. You have a bit of a grace period at the beginning of class to get your drinks. They set up the seating for you and if you're with a group of friends you can request to sit next to each other when you pay for the class online. The class is awesome! They give specific instructions and show you how to mix colors to get certain shades. I can suggest to not try to be perfect because you may fall behind like me. I was trying to make my elephant painting perfect and I was sweating trying to catch up with the instructor. Everyone that works there is super nice and if you do fall behind or need help there is a person walking around that's happy to help! Free 2-hour parking in the structure on Dayton! Highly recommend! read more

Such a fun and amazing experience! I brought my mom and mother in law tonight for a wine and paint night, and our experience was nothing short of amazing. Our instructor was very detail oriented, which worked in our favor because it made it easier for us to follow the steps. I absolutely LOVED the open bar! They had bottles of wine as well as beer. I recommend the Albino Rocca, it was really good. All in all, we had an amazing time and I will definitely come back to have a wine and paint night. Oh and a fact to share, I painted the Eiffel Tower and I did an awesome job :) read more

-This draft was written in January. Before Covid, I'm just publishing it now- Draw me like one of your French girls, she says. Just kidding! This is not the class for it. haha. This is my first time here and it was a fun experience. I picked this class because I saw what the instructor was going to paint that night. If you go online you can check what they're going to paint in that class. Honestly, it was so fun! Spending time with my girl friend and painting. Making fun of her art. That night, we drew a moon and cherry blossom trees! I am shocked by how it turned out. I really thought I would mess up. Trust me, I ain't no artist but it didn't come out so bad. There's also a small bar. You can drink and paint! We ordered a beer and wine? Sadly, the wine was very FLAT. I tried to tell my friend to say something but she didn't want to. I mean, she did pay for it... it wasn't cheap. We took a uber here since we drank. (please be responsible!) So I have no idea about parking. Parking looks really hard and complicated though. read more

Amazing Service!!! I will admit i was worried that I wouldn't be able to find a reasonably priced event for my work Holiday party (that i was paying for). HOWEVER, I explained my situation to Freddy, and from the get go, Freddy was friendly, explained what he could offer and made me feel at ease. Once he provided me what his service entailed; an artist, all the supplies, a cash bar, etc... and the deal he could offer, I was SOLD! We kept in contact from the time I first spoke with him until right before the event, making sure the painting options were received by me, confirming the painting for the event and he checked to ensure all was still a go. My party and I arrived and he and his wife/partner? had a beautiful spread of chips, salsa and drinks for us. The artist was so pleasant, she guided us through each step that made us all "very talented artists"! We loved our paintings and the wine was delish! As to the cleanliness of the facility, it was immaculate! I'll post pictures to that. read more
