If you haven't been to Pinot's Palette yet, what are you waiting for? This location and ambiance are perfect, making it a great spot for a girl's night, date night, birthday celebration , or just to vibe out on your own. You really don't need to come with anyone to have a good time here. Trust me. We booked a 3 p.m. session online, and it was a 10/10 experience. Our instructor, Dalton, was full of energy, super friendly, funny and explained everything perfectly, making the painting process enjoyable! He also played music throughout the class, and his playlist was a hit! It really set the mood and made the experience even more fun. One of the best parts? You can bring your own food, drinks, and even wine! They provide wine glasses, plates, and cups for convenience, and if you forget something to drink, they sell sodas in the back. Plus, there's a store directly across the street where you can purchase a bottle of wine if that's your thing. The class lasted a little over two hours, giving us plenty of time to enjoy and create. Parking on a Sunday was easy with plenty of street parking, but I can see it getting busier during peak hours. Overall, Pinot's Palette is more than just a painting class--it's a whole experience! Even if you think you can't paint or draw, trust me, you can. Just go for it! read more

Pinot's Palette, located right in downtown Summit, is a great group activity - whether for date night, GNO, or a family friendly daytime painting outing with kids, Pinot's Palette has a robust calendar with lots of varied offerings. We did a weekend evening class, had assigned seats with our group, and were able to BYO whatever we wanted to drink (and they provided the wine glasses!). The class was fun, and set to some fun music, and the instruction (while fast paced) still offered opportunities to ask questions and seek help. Would recommend! read more

This location does not respond to inquiries, and the woman who answers the phone is very rude. Good communication with customers is key to any business. If you are too busy, at least respond with "We will get back to you as soon as possible." read more

We held a client event at Pinot's Palette Summit, and from the moment we first spoke to Christina until the competion of the event, it was great! She was quick to respond to all our questions ahead of time which was a big help in us planning and coordinating everything for the evening. During the event the staff was friendly, fun and accomodating & the extra space for food and activity was perfect for us. Our guests all had a great time! We couldn't recommend Christina and her team more highly! Thanks again! The Zebaida Group team! PS I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS SAYS SAN FANCISCO! LOl - WE ARE IN THE GREAT STATE OF NJ! read more

Van-gogh to Pinot's Palette! I recently hosted an event with the help of the Pinot's Palette crew. The event was dubbed as an unbirthday for myself, but was actually a surprise proposal/reception for my better half. The party was a smash hit, and my better half said yes! The Summit Pinot's Palette is brand spanking new. The space is gorgeous. The art studio has trendy brick walls that are dressed with beautiful sample paintings. Fancy painting stools and easels line the interior floor space; all under soft lighting. The painting area is cozy and very clean! Moreover, the art studio is capable of seating up to 50 people comfortably; thus giving you plenty of elbow room while working on your masterpiece [or working your chardonnay]. The dining/wine area, is spacious! There is plenty of room for people to mix and mingle, especially during break time. The staff was stellar! Words can't capture how hard they worked to make this event go off without a hitch! Sue and Christina (the owners) were so kind and considerate. They were always available to answer questions and provide logistical support with regard to setup and execution. They even went above and beyond to take photos of the event for us! The art instructor and the art assistant were beyond amazing! One part art instructor and one part MC, they both provided a jovial and comical atmosphere while providing the guests with enough individual attention to help us create a fabulous painting. The painting process was a lot of fun. The instructors provided crystal clear guidance to help us create a work of art. Coming from someone who has no artistic abilities, I was ecstatic to see my painting come to life throughout the class. By the end of the night everyone was smiling, laughing and overjoyed with the whole experience! Moreover, both guys and girls alike, were clamouring to do another paint night soon!.....expect to see us again Summit Pinot's Palette. In the end, I couldn't have asked for a better venue, better service, or a kinder staff. Bravo Summit Pinot's Palette! read more

This is the best place to hold any kind of party! The atmosphere was very inviting! My co workers and I had a great party here!! I was astound at how great of an artist I really was (haha). I had an amazing time I am coming back for sure and telling all of my friends and family ! Finally a place where you enjoy your time, the teacher was amazing very entertaining and funny , and the best part I got to take my masterpiece home! See you all soon!! read more

Iwould definitely return again soon. But there isn't a parking lot...street parking only, so depending on the time you attend the parking could be a hassle read more

Whether you have a talent of a 3 year old or a bit more a finesse talent, you will love this place. It has a very laid back and fun feel. An overall great experience, the music was awesome, the staff was super friendly. All the instructors that were very very pleasant, kind and patient. I also have to mention that they were very attentive and did their best to accommodate all the requests that they got from everyone that night. It was nice enjoy a glass or two of your favorite wine and try and learn something new. My class had both women and men of a very wide range of ages and everyone seemed to have fun. Just about everyone left with a painting that they were proud of. I know I did.. It is great for bigger groups, smaller groups. It is still just as much fun. I'd recommend to all friends and family.. I'm already planning on going back, there are a few paintings that I have my eyes on.. read more

This place is the perfect night out with the girls or even just for date night! Does not require any prior painting skills and you will leave feeling like an artist! Ashlie, who leads the class, is such a good time and does a great time getting everyone hyped for the class. definitely will be coming back!! read more

Lots of fun! First time trying this paint and drink event out. Even though I came here on a early Sunday they did offer bagels and orange juice to mix with any drinks. They provide the glasses and cork screws. The two girls there were extremely nice. They had the seats together for my friends and I. Even though I am no artist, I got to enjoy painting and laughing with my friends. The instructor was very helpful and were in no rush for you to get things done. We were given a great amount of time to paint and the instructor explained each step nicely. I would defiantly come back to paint again. read more

Ashlie was an awesome instructor! This was my first time ever painting, and it was fun and turned out so much better than I expected. Definitely returning in the future! read more

I brought my girlfriend to Pinot's Pallette last weekend for a fun and unique night out in Summit. Our painting instructor/trainer Cara helped us create paintings worthy of a museum wall and we could not have had a better time. If you're looking for something different to do and to have a great time doing it (this place is BYOB so you will save money over going to a wine bar or club when you add up the drink totals) THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO. We already can't wait to go back with some friends and see what other masterpieces are hidden in our brush strokes. This is a must try if you are looking for an interesting date night. read more

Christine I stand corrected my girlfriends friend brought the horrible wine. Unfortunately I still found the whole experience quite boring. Maybe some ppl will enjoy it, just not I read more

Was here for a team building event with my company. Had a great time. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The teacher was great. I couldn't believe how great my painting came out. I still can't. I'm not an artistic person by any stretch of the imagination but with the teacher's help and great instructions, every person walked out with a beautiful painting and had a lot of fun while doing it! This is a very unique activity and I highly recommend it for anyone (with friends, family, date night). It does require some patience, so if you're someone who prefers a more fast paced activity just keep that in mind. I noticed someone posted a bad review as they felt it was boring. That's why I'm clarifying that this experience does require time and patience. Great job Summit team! Can't wait to go back! read more

We had an amazing time! Dalton made the experience so fun and was hilarious. Will definitely return, especially to Dalton's classes!

Took my first class with Ashlie last night and had a blast. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Great option for a girls night!!

We could not have had more fun here. The studio is lovely, Dalton sang along with us to all the crazy 90's music, and our instructor (whose name I forget because I am a jerk) got me to paint something that was vaguely recognizable as trees, so she's basically magic. It was a fantastic night. I'm hooked, will definitely come back. :-) read more

Sorry to be a downer here, but this place doesn't even deserve one star. I'm so disappointed in this place, I have to join Yelp just to warn everyone. I signed up for a public party (not a private event) two weeks in advance, but I unfortunately had to cancel. I called two days before the event and told them I had to cancel. The employee told me to send an email. They never responded to my emails. I just got my credit card bill today, and they never cancelled the charge. Pinot's Palette doesn't have a cancellation policy, so they should have refunded my money like I told them to, or they should have taken my cancellation over the phone. I have gone to a different paint and sip place, and their cancellation policy is clearly stated on their website and in the confirmation email. I would definitely go elsewhere, because these people are thieves. Now I have to call the credit card company to contest the charge. Whether or not I get a refund, I will never go to any Pinot's Palette anywhere. Don't give these crooks your business. There are plenty of places like this that operate professionally and ethically. read more
