This location and ambiance…read moreare 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!

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!

I came here with my partner for date night. I found this place via Groupon. Booking was easy once I…read morefigured out I couldn't book online with a Groupon. I simply emailed the place and the owner texted me back to book the class. The location is very convenient. There was plenty of parking when we arrived for our 8pm class. The layout was simple. Very spacious. The walls were decorated with different paintings from previous classes. During the painting event, the instructor gave clear instructions throughout. The reason for one less star was because of the music choice. She did inform us that she had her son's playlist playing. It was rap music with curse words and songs about sex. It was awkward. Some of us had some giggles when we heard crazy lyrics. Better music choice would improve the overall atmosphere. Other than that, my partner and I had a good time.

My friend enjoys hands on projects, while I really don't but wanted to do this for her. I have visited a different location a few years ago and thought I could tolerate another project, but honestly was blown away by how interested and happy I was to create my project. I think a lot of it had to do with the staff and the vibes of the place. We were able to bring food and drinks into this location which made the experience even better. Sushi, champagne, French pastries, and a hands-on project was perfect for a Friday night. Our end project was so cute and something we can actually use in our homes. Also, a great place to have a small birthday get together, bridal event or even do with a large group. There is parking in the back also. My only feedback would be that even though it is amazing that its BYOB maybe there should be a limit because there was a man who was drunk, and he was making us uncomfortable with the things he was saying and him trying to touch us. One of the staff members kept trying to divert him back to his project, but he always found a way back to us, or other people.

The staff is great with the children and my son always has a blast we love this place!!!read more

My family had a very poor experience with this organization, specifically the summer…read moreCounselor-in-Training program. We did our due diligence - spoke with a staff member about their programs, had a positive encounter with them during a community event, and perused the website. Everything seemed like it'd be a good fit, so we signed up for two weeks of camp (again, as a Counselor-in-Training) Day 1 -- our daughter comes home and recalls how she was asked to sit with one child, one-on-one, all day. The staff suggested that this child had "behavioral issues", and that our daughter should come get them (the Counselors) if he did not listen and did anything wrong. As a former counselor + advocate, I did not like how this sounded, but wanting to give the organization a solid chance and wanting to foster resilience in our daughter, we sent her back for a second day. Day 2 -- our daughter comes home and recalls she was asked to organize a bookshelf, which took her 40 minutes, and had very little interactions with the counselors -- whom she was supposed to be learning from. Now I'm agitated. For, these were NOT the type of experiences we had expected and wanted for our daughter; we pulled her from the camp after just two days. She was never given proper instructions or opportunities to learn from the counselor nor asked to work with campers working on art projects; but to have our child sit with one camper, one-on-one, all day, was a huge red flag and liability issue that I could no longer overlook. When reaching out to share our concerns, the owner responded and suggested our daughter fabricated everything. That the experiences our daughter had were not consistent with how their staff saw things. This left me flabbergasted that the staff had no empathy for our daughter and her experiences there, did not validate our concerns as a family, and essentially suggested our daughter made it up. There was no accountability; NOT ONE THING her staff could have done differently? Nor was there self-reflection to rumble with -- how could they have helped our daughter have a better experience. Only condescending finger pointing wrapped in ultra polite and polished language. On top of it all, the organization has a no refund policy. So my family paid $400 for our daughter to learn skills of a Counselor-in-Training, she attended just two day, and all she took away was being a 1:1 aide (again, the liability piece was overlooked by the staff in their response!) and organizing a bookshelf. I expected more from a non-profit organization! They have our money - see if you can use our balance towards your enrollment fees!
