Channel your inner Van Gogh and partake in some Vino while your brush dabs the paint then strokes the canvas or in our case glasses as you design a unique piece of artwork to call your own and cherish forever at home or give the gift of art with those that you would like to share with that never knew of your hidden talent. My girlfriend and I had the pleasure last October to get in touch with our inner artist and take one of the more unique class offerings with the talented Ms. Teresa for the wine and beer stein painting class. For $30 we had four wine glasses that we could paint whatever our hearts desired. With it being October and the weather in true form of Fall all around us we chose to paint a few in All Hallowes Eve theme and for my other two I got a little more adventurous with our teacher Teresa's guidance and painted purple flowers. My girlfriend got very artistic with Teresa's help and painted her favorite Football team, one in Old Saint Nick themed and her final one to reminder her to SIP HAPPY hehe We had an AMAZING girls night out, Teresa is an OUTSTANDING teacher, beyond patient and helpful and gosh it's been wayyyyy too long, time to get back in there! With Fall around the corner time to grab my girlfriend and paint a picture, a beer stein or maybe one of the cute ceramics Teresa has in her wonderful studio. Happy Yelping! read more

I run a meetup group, and used to go with my group-friends to painting classes at Van Gogh & Vino, when it had an actual location. Currently, the owner and instructor, Theresa, can be hired for in-home classes, and so I hosted a very small, in-home class (and brunch) for some girlfriends. First, Theresa is still fabulous at teaching class! She is sweet, patient, funny, and understanding with all levels of artistry-- including us "artistically-challenged" folks. ;) Not only did she teach at our pace; she also created a painting that was doable for us, and that allowed each of us to feel successful. (She will even walk around and help you out individually, if desired.) Moreover, I appreciated her payment setup! Theresa has a very user-friendly payment system that accepts credit and debit cards. The system is an online website, allowing each one of our participants to pay whenever she liked, and, as the host of the day, I TRULY loved that I did not have to collect money from everyone, and then pay in one lump sum. I will be hiring Theresa again for a similar painting party, and would highly recommend her for a brunch, group date night, bachelorette party, bridal shower, and/or birthday party! read more

They have moved next to Old 395 grill in Carson. Such a fun experience! The incredibly sweet owner let our group set up a fundraiser with the paintings we were doing. They were extremely patient and wine was only $4 a glass. I would definitely recommend for a fun night out with friends or a date night read more

The Head Injury Association of Northern Nevada has now painted, with their members, on 3 different occasions. It's a great activity that brings joy and accomplishment when seeing the final results. They love it! Easy to follow instruction and Theresa is always their to help or show down a bit to help or have those that are limited with their disability, catch up. Fun to go with friends and family too or with a loved one for a date night. She does offer alcohol if you are craving that glass of vino! read more

I went last year with my Mother and Grandmother while they were visiting from out of state. We had a great time and got a great deal because they always have specials going on. Theresa led our group for the painting called "Poppies" and generally felt that she cared about teaching us how to produce a quality painting. My only complaint was that she moved a little fast for the average art-challenged person, however, she did walk around and offer individual help for those who needed it which was appreciated. I look forward to going again! read more

It's fun to go out and have a glass of wine but how often can you go out and have a glass of wine and then bring home your own art treasure. Van Gogh and Vino provides this opportunity in a fun, comfortable, class environment. Wine and food is available from the Flight restaurant next-door if so desired. Teresa, the art instructor is enthusiastic, entertaining and knowledgeable. She guides you through each step of the painting providing hints for success. Everyone has the opportunity to express their own personality, so no two paintings are alike, but all are amazing. My husband and I enjoyed this opportunity and are so pleased with the experience. It really was fun. Lynne and Bill read more

Van Gogh & Vino - Art Galleries Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

Awesome experience. Really good variety of drinks with good prices. They make some truly beautiful artwork, but it's challenging. My mom and I drove from Reno to do a class. Next time, we might try the kids classes with characters. $18 for the month of August. read more

Theresa is unequivocally the best painting-and-wine teacher out there! Theresa is a real artist, makes up her own designs, and teaches you techniques to make your painting look like hers without needing artistic talent or even spatial awareness. I've been to other studios where the "teacher" is really just an entertainer and their painting is worse than yours. At Van Gogh & Vino, you really want to come back and make more masterpieces! You can grab a bite at Red 395 BBQ before and she has liquid refreshments and snacks. The studio is nice, big, bright and cheerful. Van Gogh & Vino is a must do! read more

Three friends and I went to Van Gogh & Vino for the first time (we used a Groupon which was a super great deal). It was SO MUCH fun. Theresa guided us through and step by step process to paint the picture. Everything was set up ahead of time (canvas, brushes, paint, water, paper towels, pencils, etc.). She started on time and we were there about two and a half hours. You can either bring your own wine or purchase drinks from the neighboring restaurant (they have a bar and bring it to you!) There was a great eclectic mix of music so it was never awkwardly quiet. Each table (five canvases to a table) was able to chat and laugh through the experience. You do NOT need to be an artist - they go step by step and it's fun to see how everyone paints the same picture differently. You check the calendar on their website (http://www.vangogh-vino.com) and see what picture they are featuring on which night and make your RESERVATION then. It was so fun! They have classes for kids too so look into that for your budding artist. read more

So much fun! Teresa is awesome and so helpful!! I will be back for sure! I went with my family and even the kids were able to paint. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a fun way to spend a few hours! read more

I have been to Van Gogh & Vino twice now.. The first time was amazing! The instructor would do one step and explain how to do it then walk around and help anyone who needed it and when everyone (or mostly everyone) was ready to move on she would go up and explained in detail the next step. My friends and I had a blast and went home with paintings we loved. Since I had such a good time I suggested that that my sisters, my mother, and I go for the mother's day cow painting as this was our first mother's day since losing our grandma and she loved cows. Unfortunately class was awful.. The entire time the instructor was 4 or 5 steps ahead and was not explaining what she was doing. We had to go find her a few times to help us as she was barely walking around to help people. It was both of my sister's first time doing anything like this and they were both extremely frustrated when their painting was not coming out how they wished and we all felt like we had no guidance. As class finished up quite a few people were still trying to finish and instead of helping those who were struggling the instructor was chatting with people who were finished. My sister was trying to finish up and we were literally kicked out because the instructor had to leave. I felt as though the entire class was rushed because she had other plans and when I got home I was so stressed out and upset that I had suggested this for my family. It was not a relaxing painting class. It felt like a painting marathon. It was the exact opposite of a wonderful mother's day painting class. I do not think any of us will ever be back. read more

Went with a private birthday party. Amazing and inspiring to see non-artists create in a supportive place with all the supplies. You can bring your own food and drink too. It is right next to Flight Restaurant and Bar - they adjoin. Sometimes I go in when I am at Flight to see what they are creating while I have been playing music with my band. Go for it! read more

Teresa is an amazing artist. She has so much patience and she makes everyone feel like they are an artist themselves
