    My flower wine bottle vase.
    Mary B.

    I attended a work-related event here and can honestly say it was the best one I've ever had with the group. Karen, the owner, personally led our group with confidence, humor, talent, kindness, creativity... Our group painted wine bottles and even those of us with no artistic ability created wonderful keepsakes. Karen and her team are the epitome of grace and joy. I will be back with family and friends. I may grab someone off the street to join us as the time spent at Inspired brings people together in a special way everyone should experience.

    Had a great time at the wine bottle painting class with Karen. Lots of laughs and she provided detailed instruction and was super patient. I have such little artistic talent but with her help, I'm happy with my painting. Bring some friends and come and enjoy!

    Inspired Art Wine is the perfect place to learn how to paint while sipping on some delicious wine! I'm not sure what's better, the wine or the art. The owner Karen was a fun Instructure! Leading us step by step in how to paint using acrylic. She was fun, upbeat and personable. 2.5 hours flew by! Did I mention the wine? Karen is also an expert in wine selection. You will not disappoint. This art studio is clean, organized and easy to get around. The bar is located toward the back of the studio with breaks every :30 minutes to get your wine glass filled up. Wine and beer is for purchase. You can even order a cheese plate ahead of time to much while you sip and paint. We did the holiday beach painting this time. Great place to hang with a few friends and connect. Become an artist for a day at Inspire Art Wine. I will be recommend this place to everyone I know.

    I left this class feeling scammed and disrespected. I've taken five paint-and-sip classes, and this was by far the worst experience. If Karen didn't feel up to hosting a small class, she should've just cancelled. The owner, Karen, did not lead the class herself. Instead, she had a friend or boyfriend run the session while she worked on a separate personal project. She even joked he wasn't an employee; which wouldn't have been an issue if he had demonstrated "master artist" skills as indicated on the booking. He frequently referred to the reference painting on the screen to decide what to do next, which made the instruction feel disorganized and unprofessional. He repeatedly described the piece as "whimsical," but it felt more like a way to justify the fact that his version didn't resemble the painting that was advertised when I booked the class. By the end, the paintings produced in class, including the instructor's, looked very different from the example shown on the screen and on the website. This is where it became evident for me we'd been scammed since we signed up expecting to create something similar to the advertised image. Our version of the painting was very elementary. Very little shading instruction was offered so our paintings look very one dimensional. We even received contradicting instructions from the instructor and Karen. Overall, this class did not meet expectations in terms of instruction, professionalism, or accuracy to what was advertised. I would not recommend it based on my experience.

    Great class with the owner Karen as our instructor!!  My 2nd time here and will be back!  Thank you so much

    Amazing class painting wine bottles and our instructor was the owner Karen! She is an amazing teacher and instructor. It's my 2nd time here and we'll be back!!

    I attended a team building event for work with co-workers where we did wine tasting. We received some education about each type of wine that we tasted and we scored the wines based on our preferences. We also got to experiment with pairings as we had many snacks to pair with, meats, cheeses, crackers and chocolates. After the tasting and scoring, we were able to create our own bottle with choosing the bottle color, foil color, designed our own label and created a formula for our own blended wine based on our scoring of the wine tasting. This was a fun experience and was first for me. This place is highly rated on Yelp and we had a great experience with Karen. Five stars!

    We celebrated my daughter's sweet 16 hosted by Karen. She had mocktails for the kids and was a very good teacher to the teens! It's the second time I have done a party at Inspire's Art Wine. Karen and her staff is the best!

    What an amazing way to celebrate Valentine's Day! Karen's instructions were clear and staff was super fun to be around! Definitely would come back anytime of the year!

    Such a fun experience! The atmosphere was welcoming, relaxed, and full of great energy. The instructor was fantastic--super energetic, encouraging, and made the whole class feel easy. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a fun and creative outing.

    Came here with a group of us and oh my gosh I didn't know this place existed but it is so cool! The art teacher (I believe her name was Kathy) has so many cool stories about her career and is so knowledgeable and is great at showing exactly what we're doing when, which I appreciated. I love that they have a bar inside where you can order mocktails, cocktails, wine, etc. This made it so unique! Everyone is really friendly, personable, and fun... and it was nice to meet the owner, too! They play music, converse with you, teach you things, give you breaks to socialize and refill.. it is open and spacious.. I only have great things to say. This would be great for girls night, date night, groups, birthdays, etc etc.

    Inspired art wine is a fun activity for couples, friends, and even coworkers. The class we went to was a guided beach sunset class. Our teacher, who so happens yo be the owner was very helpful in giving tips and helping everyone bring their artistic side out. We opted for the reisling and it paired well with the cheese board. Although the cheeses were good, I wished the board had more crackers or fruits to balance the taste. This studio offers classes for different levels of painters so if you're more advanced, I definitely suggest you looking into one of their oil painting or portraits classes.

    5 Stars!!! I took my entire dental office team for an awesome and fun team building experience! I've been to many paint/wine places in the OC but this is the BEST! Karen, the owner, is gifted in encouraging, inspiring and welcoming people

    We had the most memorable evening at Chef Stephanie Chinchilla's chef's table. The experience was…read moreintimate, warm, and beautifully executed from start to finish...every dish told a story and every detail felt intentional. We began with the Aji tuna on crispy rice, topped with a delicate sliver of jalapeño and crispy shallots, a perfect balance of freshness, spice, and crunch. The second course was Stefanie's famous focaccia...one sweet and one savory. The savory version featured parmesan, her homemade bread and butter, pickles from her garden, and a touch of mustard seed. The bread, made simply with flour, water, and salt, takes two to three days to create. The sweet focaccia was equally impressive, topped with brie, honey, and a guava jam made from her own garden-grown guavas... truly special. Next came the sweet potato course, made from her garden's harvest and paired with roasted pine nuts and coconut-shaved gnocchi in brown butter. The flavors were rich yet comforting, and the presentation was artistic and thoughtful. The main course... short ribs with a stunning potato gratin, was a showstopper. The short ribs were tender and deeply flavorful, garnished with delicate edible flowers from her garden, while the gratin was layered beautifully and topped with a fragrant chimichurri. Dessert was one of the best I've ever had: a sticky toffee date cake with a caramel apple sauce made from apples in her garden, served with raw cream vanilla bean ice cream. The balance of warmth, sweetness, and texture was perfection. The wine pairings, thoughtfully curated by Oscar from Sequoia Grove Winery, elevated the entire experience, from the velvety Merlot to the bold Cabernet, every sip complemented the food flawlessly. What makes Chef Stefanie so special is her warmth and authenticity. She shares her passion for food and where it comes from in a way that's engaging and educational, never pretentious. She spends time presenting each dish beautifully, with an artist's eye and a chef's heart. Her artistry, attention to detail, and genuine love for her craft come through in every course. I'll absolutely be attending her future chef's table events, a beautiful evening of intentional cooking, soulful flavors, and gracious hospitality.

    I can't speak highly enough of the incredible experiences we've had with Stephanie Chinchilla.

    Such a fun time!! I chose the 'Date Night: Five Star Steakhouse' class and it was really enjoyable…read moreand informative. Our head chef/instructor Anthony brought great energy and charisma to the class. You could really tell he's passionate about what he does and enjoys it, which spread to the rest of the class. It was a very open environment with many of the attendees having little to no culinary experience, so we were all working on a level playing field. The class is decently interactive, with a nice balance where they do a good majority of the tedious prep work beforehand and let you do the rest (as a team of 4) with all of the nicely prepared ingredients. We also did a small crash course on cutting and mixing skills, which was appreciated. The dish we made was a really nice steak with an herb compound butter, grilled veggies, a small side salad, and a nice fruit tart (galette) for dessert. The class flowed really well and the time FLEW by. It was about two hours from start to finish, and it fun the entire time. I'd recommend to eat a little something beforehand, as you eat what you prepare at the end (after 2ish hours) and the portions are split amongst 4 people so they are a bit on the petite side. Overall, this was a really enjoyable experience that I definitely plan on attending again. I recommend you find a class that suits you and check it out yourself!!

It took maybe 90 mins or so from start of class to chow time and we were ready to eat! I imagine we would have gotten hangry I we didn't, so I would recommend snacking before class!!! The instructing chef was very thorough and helpful. The food was on theme and SO good. We were surprised we could make such tasty bold flavors with simple everyday ingredients. (Our dish we Moroccan chicken night with couscous, beet salad, homemade ice cream with grilled peaches) Plenty of food to eat and even took some home. They were even so gracious to accommodate my vegan/vegetarian diet by subbing the chicken with either vegan chicken or potatoes (I chose potatoes). Flavors did not miss!! Would recommend and will be doing again...
