I went to Pinot's Palette in Norfolk with my sister and nephew for a Wednesday night paint-and-sip…read moreclass, and we had such a good time! This was our first time here, although I've done quite a few paint-and-sip classes before. Our painting was a field of sunflowers, and I have to say, this was definitely one of the more technically challenging paintings I've done at one of these classes. That downward-facing sunflower was no joke , but it was still really fun and rewarding to see everything come together. Tracie led our class, and she and Star are the owners. They were both incredibly personable, welcoming, and helpful throughout the night. Star was working the bar and helping out around the studio, while Tracie walked us through the painting step by step. Our class was pretty small, only seven people total, which I actually enjoyed because it made the whole experience feel relaxed and personal. I also really liked the space itself. The studio is much bigger than I expected, and they even have a separate room in the back for glow-in-the-dark painting classes. They showed us how the paintings glow under the UV lights, and it was SO cool. I'd definitely come back to try one of those classes. They also mentioned that the studio had actually flooded just the week before our class, which made it even more impressive that they had everything back up and running so quickly. One of the sinks was still out of commission because of the flood, but it didn't interfere with the class or our experience at all. Overall, we had a really enjoyable night. The atmosphere was fun, the studio was spacious, the painting gave us a little bit of a challenge, and Tracy and Star made the experience even better with how friendly and helpful they were. I'll definitely be back, and next time I might have to try that glow-in-the-dark room!

I always enjoy time with my sister and son, and I really like doing things that remind me of my mom. As soon as we went in we were greeted right away, had IDs checked for those of us old enough to drink, and we were able to get seated. Before getting started, we had the option of going to the bar. They offer a nice variety of wine, seltzers, and non alcohol options. There are also snacks available for purchase. Our hosts for the night were Tracy and Star. The class was a small one of about 7. They provide everything you need! This painting required a little more skill than I am used to, but the instructor was kind and very patient. I didn't feel rushed at all, and had no issues with getting help as needed. We were all happy with how our paintings turned out! My son really enjoyed his first paint night and said it's something he would do again. I've been to a few paint nights in the area, and I really enjoyed my time at Pinot. I've been to others where it seemed a bit too serious. This was fun! I'd love to come back and do one of their backlight paintings they offer where you paint in the dark and your art glows! *For the best pricing, book directly on their website!

The lounge was absolutely beautiful. I loved the decor and the flower backdrop added a really nice touch! The candle scents were aligned along the wall for us to smell and we were able to choose an apron and candle jar before sitting at our table. Our host was super fun and personable. She shared the back story of how the lounge came about and got us excited to create candles. I chose the Yuzu & Volcano scents which had a light, sweet scent. They walked us through each step and made the process simple and easy. For my drinks, I ordered the Cabernet and the Bacardi Rum Punch. I thoroughly enjoyed the Rum Punch. All of our candles turned out great and smelled amazing! We even went around the room sharing the name of our candles. I called mine "Elevate". Afterwards, we took group pictures and thanked them for a wonderful evening! The class was $45 and worth every penny. If you're looking for a girl's night out, date night or just a solo night, definitely stop in to Wick & Sip Candle Lounge! You will not be disappointed!!!

They had different candle containers I could choose from and of course I chose pink. I was able to mix 2 scents to make my candle. You could choose from sweet to floral scents.

It was a smaller party than normal (5 is the minimum) but Cherry was understanding & still welcomed us to have a blast- which we did. Cherry is my type of people- she has energetic, creative soul, great music selection and had a great personality. Cherry gave me a gift for booking the private party and I was honestly shocked with all the awesome stuff I received. Custom rolling papers, a pre-roll, a dugout, branded sticker & air freshener, candy, a gel pen that lit up in the black light and a glow stick- because, helloOoo party!! The space reminded me of the cafes in Amsterdam - smelled like heaven and is filled with awesome merch & paintings. Cherry had drinks and light snacks available but said we could bring whatever we wanted. BYO- drinks, snacks, stash, pre-rolls, vapes, etc. We ended up doing a mystery paint pick- so much fun! We picked our themes, brainstormed and Cherry sketched out a draft of what we were painting. 5 hours later .. we were stoned lil artists ready for a fresh canvas and felt like Cherry was our long-time friend. Grab your besties, your party and book an event with Cherry Stoner!!

I'm pretty sure we overstayed our welcome but Kathy and her husband were totally chill. We all had such a great time and loved that we were able to take our crafts with us. With the husband doing all the wood work, they accommodate custom orders. I certainly plan on returning.

The pricing was very fair in my opinion and they did a great job of ensuring all the kids had fun and were coordinated (tough) in their work.
