My boyfriend and I went over the Valentine's weekend recently and it was something we have never done together, so it was really great doing something different and creative with one another. The reason(s) I'm not giving this place 5 stars is because of the following: - the woman guiding us with painting the picture on display could have explained certain things a bit differently. The sky we painted looked like a circle rather than a natural sky, which was a bit disappointing. - I get that this is supposed to be a fun environment, but I didn't appreciate how one of the couples kept singing along with the music being played as though it was a karaoke bar. I wish they were asked to stop because it was getting extremely annoying. I've done these painting experiences before and for the most part always have a great time. I'll definitely do it again whether it be here or another place. read more

My book club, "Book Divas," and our guests had a lot of fun at inspiredartwine!! Karen and her staff were friendly and helpful. Karen's a great art instructor, and her wine bar is a great touch, too. I would recommend inspiredartwine if you're looking for a place to have an event. read more

Had a great first time paint & sip experience here! Karen and Brian were both so kind & were wonderful instructors. We hosted a private event for a birthday celebration but will definitely be back for more of their classes. Oh & the wine was also delicious! Thank you both for a great evening! read more

This was my first time visiting this wine & art location. I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed painting and sipping on wine. Karen was our instructor and she was so funny and chill. The wine was delicious, we ended up with a "sangria" wine. The only small confusion was that I was under the impression the fee included a glass of wine, but it was just a sample that it included and from there we had to purchase our own drinks. But now I know for future times, which will hopefully happen when I visit again. read more

Inspired Art Wine - Wine and a good time! - Art Classes Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Please think twice before thinking of attending a paint party at this venue. The owner, who often teaches the classes, is disrespectful to her staff, Interrupts other instructors when they are teaching, and makes cutting remarks to them. I would say they work in a toxic environment, and after seeing this, I will no longer attend events at this establishment. The owner also mother hens people who attend, asking pretty intrusive questions, and giving unsolicited advice about their love life, dating tips, etc. Not a good idea to let her know if you are on a first date. She will do her best to embarrass you, be forewarned....of course she will use the excuse of trying to connect with her customers, but it is very intrusive. She also does not limit the amount of alcohol that attendees can drink, so you run the risk of trying to paint with a bunch of drunks who are saying and doing a lot of inappropriate things. I saw this at the event I attended. You would think she would consider how these folks are going to get home in one piece after the event, and whether it is safe for them to try and drive when so intoxicated. You can find a safer, saner place to learn to paint then this establishment, and certainly one where more creative paintings are encouraged, not one where the majority of the paintings are knock off works of Bob Ross. read more

I get that people are drinking, but it gets old fast listening to the instructions being repeated loudly 5-8x per each step. Don't the people who actually pay attention sit there and waste time as you repeat yourself continuously for those not paying attention, or use the microphone. The art direction compared to what we're suppose to be painting was vague. Disappointed and not worth the money. I could have followed an art instruction video online and not heard shouting for 2 hours. read more

We had a small work event there this week and it was so so fun!! Karen was so easy to work with to organize and the event was totally a hit. Karen was really funny and gave such great step by step instructions. I have never painted before but somehow I'm proud of the little piece I have now. Really thankful for the class and I'll definitely be going back with friends! read more

This place has delicious wine. I might've had a few bottles. Best Valentine's Day ever

This was such a good time!! Ten of us celebrated my daughter's birthday at Inspired Art Wine, and celebrate we did! Karen was such a fun hostess and instructor! She made the night so much fun for everyone. This was not the first time I've done art and wine, but it was definitely the best! read more

I had the great pleasure of taking my girlfriend here prior to Covid and we absolutely loved it! The staff were extremely friendly and professional and they did an amazing job at making us feel comfortable and helping us with our "master pieces." Because of our great experience, I wanted to try out one of their online virtual classes to see how it compared to the in person class. It did not disappoint! The instructor upheld the same superior quality of professionalism and friendliness that we first experienced and I would highly recommend this to any of my friends! Also, the convenience of being able to finish your painting on your own time and in the comfort of your home is a great plus! read more

My friend and I did the pet painting and it was one of my favorite experiences ever!!! The entire venue is beautiful. The paintings came out lovely and they were so helpful and fun. Each pet portrait was unique and came out so beautiful! My friend enjoyed a bottle of wine as well and that was delicious. We found them on Instagram and we are so grateful we did! Definitely want to come back and try their other classes. read more

My boyfriend and I had an amazing time at Inspired Art Wine! I had previously been here before for a corporate event before the shutdown and enjoyed it so much. When the studio reopened, I decided to come again and take my boyfriend for the "Unwine by the sunset" class. We felt very safe during the entire class and had a lot of fun painting and sipping delicious wine (the red Sangria is especially tasty). Karen and Kenny made sure everyone felt comfortable and also helped take our creativity to another level. We both left extremely impressed with our works of art and are looking forward to coming again! read more

I recommend this place for a fun time, even during covid pandemic! I also love their instagram page because they post giveaways from time to time @inspiredartwine, and their giveaways are pretty generous! It was my 1st time here but not my 1st time doing a painting class. However, this place is much better. I really like Inspired Art Wine's location (food & stores all around) & storefront. It seems fancy but I love the atmosphere, it is very comfortable for any event customers might have. So good for a casual paint session, date night, and even group events. They offer a selection of wines & the fact that we can bring in food is a damn plus.It's a proper place for customers and painters: clean, pretty, safe, & comfortable during covid since they make sure customers are distanced/temp. measured properly, and have other protocols. For the service and wine tasting, I'd say the pricing is super good and affordable. I did not get any painting help/tips at other places. I appreciate Kenny and the Boss Lady for giving me suggestions and showing me what I should do during my session. It is about having fun but we're here to learn too! It's hard to get a couples photo due to Covid, but I appreciate the team for taking photos for us and safely sending them via email. I'm not a fan of alcohol, so they were able to accommodate by letting me taste really sweet ones...the employees definitely are knowledgeable in both art and wine. They have a variety of artwork/events so it caters to everyone really, it is not rushed and is welcoming as customers are there to learn and have fun whether you're a beginner (totally me) or an intermediate artist. I think this would be a great place to bring in older folk/parents that don't know English as well. I'll definitely come back with more people! read more

My first time taking a class and I have nothing but great things to say. The instructor was easy to follow, it was a fun atmosphere and my painting came out better then I thought it would. I would come back in a heartbeat. read more

My review is for this space as a venue. Karen was wonderful! She was upfront and clear about pricing and options. She answered all my questions and was flexible as my plans changed (party size, date, etc) a couple of times. My event was proposing to my now fiancee, and it would not have been so successful without Karen's advice and input! We planned it as a private paint night. Karen and team played along. We were checked in, and greeted to see the painting we were going to paint, at which point Karen directed my fiancee to a surprise from me before we started. I had the ability to customize the space to fit my vision which was critical to the success. I was able to send pictures that were displayed on the TVs inside. She was kind enough to paint signs that said "She said yes!" and "He put a ring on it!" and helped with selecting the background music. I would absolutely book this as a venue again, and can't wait to come back for a paint night! read more

If you are looking for a place to unwind, express your creativity through art, and enjoy some wine - Inspired Art Wine is the place to visit! The experience and ambiance at Inspired Art Wine is so fun and relaxing! Being led by the uplifting and creative instructor, Karen, was amazing as she was there guiding patiently while I created my masterpiece. Both Karen and Kenny practiced safety measures while ensuring to take temperature checks before we entered and assured we were social distancing to make our stay in the studio during these new times comfortable. Thank you Karen and Kenny, I will definitely be returning to Inspired Art Wine! In the meantime, I look forward to trying a Virtual Class on my own from home with my family! read more

I've been coming to Inspired Art for 2 years now. Each time having a private party for my Birthday. The owner & instructor are extremely kind & accommodating. The studio is adorable & they allow us to bring food. My friends & I always have such a great time & love that we leave with something special that we made. If you are looking for something fun to do with a friend, partner or as a group, I highly recommend taking a paint class with Inspired, you will not be disappointed! Thank you so much Karen for making my Birthdays memorable. Tina read more

So much fun. I was stressed about being a terrible painter but they made me feel comfortable and I loved my painting! Will be back.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place! I've been here on various occasions; for a company event and also with my girlfriends and each time, Inspired never disappoints. For starters, the studio is absolutely beautiful. It's like you're painting at a fun art gallery, which happens to have a fully stocked bar too =) My first time here, I painted flowers, but quickly progressed to more complex paintings and I gotta say, I learn so much from the instructors here. Not only are they entertaining, but they actually TEACH you techniques and provide tips on how to become a better painter. Two things I noticed from this studio vs the others I've been to before coming. First, the quality of the materials and environment feels more classy yet the price is very reasonable. And! I actually painted on a palette vs a plate, LOL. The seating was comfortable as you're seating in a chair vs a high stool and you're not squeezed like a sardine amongst other guests like the other places.  The owner, Karen, is very hands-on making sure our group had everything we need. Her team follows her lead and provides top notch service. And did I also say, their playlist is so FREAKEN awesome-- the 80's playlist gets my creative juices flowing with the help of vino of course, haha! Speaking of vino, upon arrival, you get to sample their wines for FREE! Try before you buy--can't beat that. I highly recommend this studio for any event, whether you come by yourself, with friends, colleagues, family or a date. If you're thinking of doing this event for your company, that's their expertise. And most important thing, parking is super EASY here. If you get hungry, the studio is located around a bunch of eateries offering Indian, American, Korean, Italian and Mexican! read more

Karen helped us plan a corporate event where she was able to come into our office to host a paint night in one of our conference rooms, and the night was an absolute hit! Karen and Sam were so great with our group and helped walk everyone through the painting process. A lot of us had never done a paint night like this before, so they really helped everyone through the process and encouraged everyone's confidence in their abilities. We received so much positive feedback from everyone who attended and have received a lot of interest to plan another event like this again. I cannot recommend Inspired enough, Karen was truly in her element and knew how to run the night. read more

What a beautiful, chic, modern art studio! -- the perfect setting for any art class or the perfect venue for any event you would like to host. First off, the owner/founder Karen is extremely nice and helpful in all regards. She is quick to respond to any questions you have - by e-mail and phone. Her lively personality definitely brings out the fun vibe of the studio even more! We recently held a private birthday party event here, and Karen was very engaging and loved getting to know everyone in our group. She helped make everything flow smoothly from start to finish. This studio/venue comes with a fully stocked bar, and all other options and amenities you would need to host your own private event. You can bring in your own food for a private event. You can even bring in your own wine for a very reasonable corkage fee. The instructor, Kenny, was talented, nice, and very patient. He started with the basics about color mixing, demoed some techniques, and answered all our questions as we let our own creative juices flow. I found this studio unique in that it offers not only the popular canvas art classes, but you can even opt to paint wine bottles or even wine glasses/goblets. They also host unique events such as speed dating, paint your pet, etc... So much to offer here! Great place, great people, definitely recommend! read more

Have been here three times now with the same group of people and so am sharing thoughts. Surprised by how much fun everyone ended up having despite a complete lack of confidence and artistic ability. The space and location are good, and the instructors and the owner are what makes it fun. Very well organized with quality supplies provided to every person. And of course wine and cheese for the "artistes"! Recommend! Update 7/23/20-went back here again yesterday and the owner is on top of things. Had a fab time. The tables are spread out and protocols include all masks and social distancing requirements for Covid-19. Temperatures are taken and recorded at the front door next to the mandatory wash station. Safe and fun way to get out of the house.! read more

A unique and inspiring adventure. I am by no means very artistic, but in my many visits here I leave with a prized possession. My favorite is the recent Paint Your Pet theme. You send Karen a photograph and she sketches it on canvas. You then get to paint it with her guidance and assistance as needed. She helped me a great deal and I absolutely love my "Zeke"!! Great for memories. Karen is amazing and is so talented. You read more

Karen is AMAZING! Done a few classes in person as corporate events and during the quarantine she provided ONLINE INSTRUCTION so my family could get our fix. Phenomenal staff. Phenomenal classes. I am horrible at paining 2D art and they are so encouraging. 10/10 and can't wait for my next class. If you haven't been here, you need to come say hello! read more
