They had an ice bucket to chill our drinks and a table in the back reserved for us to put any extra alcohol or snacks that we brought. They also provided us wine glasses to drink out of which was so convenient! I really liked that the host had a microphone attached to her and the volume was loud enough to hear her over the chatter from birthday festivities and other group conversations. Instructions were easy to follow along to, and it was a great birthday overall! Highly recommend!

We also were able to leave our art for a couple of hours so we could go to dinner which I appreciated. I'm used to a little bit more hands-on advice and feedback from instructors at paint and sips which is the only reason I took a star off but overall it was a wonderful experience!

Who knew you could be an artist after a few sips of wine? Pinot's Palette is a popular franchise…read morethat hosts BYOB "Paint & Sip" events. They have over 100 locations and host multiple classes every month. You can access the events calendar on their website. Most locations host a class almost every day that are two or three hours long. Weekdays typically have evening class times while weekends can have earlier times. They offer a wide variety of paintings like landscapes, animals, florals, and seasonal themes. They have specialty classes where you can paint a custom portrait, decorate a wine glass or tote bag, or use black light fluorescent (glow-in-the-dark) paint. Because there's alcohol involved, most classes are adults only. However, they do have a select few that are for all ages/family-friendly. Prices range from $30-$55+ per person depending on the class type and time. You can reserve your spot/s online ahead of time. If you're going with a group, you can type in the names of your party in the seating request section so you can all be seated together. We went to the Nutley location on a Friday evening. Street parking was easy to find at this time. The studio has a lively, welcoming, and social atmosphere. They provide you with all of the art supplies - paint, brushes, canvas, easel, aprons. You bring your own drinks and food, but they do supply glassware, corkscrews, ice buckets, plates, napkins, and utensils. Angie was our instructor who led us step-by-step through the painting. She was friendly, enthusiastic, engaging, and easy to follow. This was my third class and I'm definitely no Vincent van Gogh LOL... but I still enjoyed myself. Regardless of your artistic talent, this is a great way to be creative, relax, and socialize in a judgment-free space. All levels of artistry are welcome! You'll actually be surprised at how much of a masterpiece you can create by the end of class ;) Paint & Sip classes are a fun choice for a group bonding activity or celebration! They also do corporate events and private parties. If you're going to be a frequent flyer, don't forget to sign up for their rewards program! You get personalized deals, free events, priority seating, etc.

The painting they had this past Sunday (12/29) looked totally do-able for my kiddos so I signed us up that morning for a 12pm class. My kids were SO excited. I brought some snacks and kid friendly drinks with us and we got there 15 minutes early. We were the first ones there and our palettes and paints were waiting for us. They had aprons for kids and we put our stuff in cubbies. Once the other groups arrived we began painting. Our instructor (I totally forget her name and I feel so bad) was absolutely fantastic. She took her time explaining each piece of the painting and how were were going to create everything. She was very patient and answered everyone's questions. She walked around to make sure everyone was on the same page and that we had enough paint. She gave little tips that helped make the painting process easier. It was so much fun! My son had a little trouble with the painting and was getting a bit frustrated (he hated his tree) but he continued on, followed the directions, and did his best. I was so proud of him. He is a bit younger than the recommended age but he enjoys guided drawings so I thought he might enjoy it. In the end, he was happy to have a fun, finished product. My daughter had a great time. And I always LOVE a good paint and sip. I will definitely be back to Pinot's Palette in Nutley. I love that it's so close to me and they have so many events and different paintings to choose from.

The instructors are so friendly, helpful, and will keep you entertained all night with their jokes and banter lol The parking lot has plenty of parking and there's a great pizza spot next door if you want to grab a bite or beverage there before your event or during the event's break times. I've grabbed a pizza slice and soda during the break times and I didn't miss a thing during the painting portion! Highly recommend this studio :) Bring your friends and wine!!

When I picked her up after her first day there she said, "I had so much fun and I made new friends!" That made my momma heart so happy. The instructors at the summer camp were so warm and welcoming and my daughter said they were very nice and helpful. She came home every day with an amazing painting and craft. She did a painting every day and PoP supplied different crafts like friendship bracelets, slime, really neat paper mache lanterns and much more. She also received a tie-dyed PoP shirt and a snack every day. This summer camp was definitely right up her ally and she said she wants to do it again next year. The price is right (and even on the more reasonable side) compared to other art camps in the area. Thank you for a lovely week long summer camp PoP! We will be returning!

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 space is large enough to fit all of us as well as setting up food and drinks for our party. Elena was very responsive and helpful from Day 1 and made the party planning very easy for us. The music they played was all the hits that were popular when we were in high school and college, and everyone was just having a great time and singing along. The instructor (I will update with her name) made the painting process so easy and fun for everyone regardless of everyone's skills or experience with painting! My coworkers still talk about it today about what a fun time they had. I would highly recommend this studio! Some good to know points: *Parking is street parking available or metered garage around the corner, metered parking down the road. Make sure you have quarters or dimes! 25 cents will give you 30 minutes, and after 7pm parking is free! *you can have food delivered to the studio! We ordered pizza and salads and drinks from "Ferrazoli's" in the area we were very happy! *Dont forget to bring wine and they have wine bottle openers! *they provide aprons... make sure you roll up your sleeves! *For large groups, you need to purchase 4 weeks in advance 10 tickets at $35 each Thanks PaintZone for making this a fun memorable experience!

I've been to about 10 classes here - during the week, during mimosa Saturdays, on weekend nights. The same level of attention and detail is given to EVERY class, regardless of how big the class is. It's not uncommon for Alicia herself to sit across from or next to you and paint with you! :) All of the instructors are super nice and fun to be around - I've taken classes with Barbara, Leni and Rachel. Alicia's prices are crazy fair for the area - and if you sign up for your next class while you're there, you get 20% off your next class! I've been to Paint Nite and Pinot's Palette and I definitely prefer Aspire Studio!! Not only is it a fun, relaxing time with super nice people, but I SWEAR my painting techniques have gotten BETTER!
