I worked with Wine and Canvas for a company event and it was spectacular! Carolyn and her team made it incredibly easy and straightforward. We were even provided with a list of suitable locations and coordination of such. The instructor and assistant were engaging and patient ( especially important as the libations produced some buzzed artists). I strongly recommend Wine and Canvas for your next social event. read more

Wine & Canvas - Great times with Wine and Canvas! - Party & Event Planning Near Me

Life changes...and sometimes it doesn't.... 1984 CHUN P. 2017 CHUN P. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- DREAM JOB James Bond House Husband EDUCATION 1st Grade 21st year in college CELEB CRUSH Christi Brinkley Channing Tatum FUN CLASS Painting Painting "Wine and Canvas" travels between different venues, This time it was at The Lafayette Hotel which is vintage, classy and lovely. The teacher/host was friendly, had good painting tips and guidance, and was very enthusiastic with his work. And dang it, painting is hard! This time it was Starry Night in San Diego. But I went off on a tangent and added a AT-AT, Death Star, Klingon Bird of Prey, a USS Enterprise, Star Destroyer, a Borg Cube, and an Ion Cannon, but no one seems to see that, doh! Unlike the 1st Grade, the teacher did not scold me or give me a "F" for not following instructions. IRONY: We paid $30, but it does not include wine, you still have to buy wine(or whatever) at the venue. Luckily it was still Happy Hour, so I got a beer for only $4. I might have subtracted a star it if it was more expensive, but since they call themselves "Wine and Paint" they should at least include a crappy plastic cup of Charles Shaw or Tisdale. Right? I still had a great time, so I'm going to let that slide... Note: I'm not a single guy, but if you are, this good place to meet girls...the class comprised of about 25 girls, me, and a very bored looking guy dragged here by girlfriend. Just place yourself in strategic spot...you'll have just over 3 hours to turn your small talk into a Facebook Friend Request, or more. read more

Wine & Canvas - Original... - Party & Event Planning Near Me

See all

Great day activity for a bachelorette party! Had a nice time being creative and bonding! Highly recommend!! read more

I've always heard friends in many different cities speak about these types of art class events. I am no artist so never was interested but when a LivingSocial deal came around months ago, I purchased 2 just to see what the buzz was all about. Wine and Canvas allows you to see the painting and location via their user friendly website... check around the third week of the month to see upcoming... the popular ones fill up quickly! The events are at various areas throughout San Diego (and other cities too, I noticed). I tried booking online but my codes were coming up invalid, nothing a quick email to the company couldn't fix. A friendly staff member promptly responded to me and via phone/email we were able to sign my friend and I up. Lindsay L. and I went to the event this past Saturday evening at 57 Degrees. A good location as it was the perfect sized area. Several rows of long tables were set with easels. Check in up front, grab your blank canvas and set at empty easel of choice to save your spots. Apron was provided although not the cleanest from past sloppy artists. A finished canvas of what we would paint was displayed at the front. The artist introduced herself and we began. We each were provided water, paper towels, and the necessary brushes. Step by step instructions. A break to get a drink and stretch. Final product, although not as good as the original, I am very proud my inner artist (didn't know I was capable) was able to show off her talents. Less one star because it's called Wine and Canvas... I've heard at these events you can bring your own bottle to share with friends however maybe this was not the case since we were at a wine bar so we bought from them. Also, the tables didn't have much room to place your glass of wine as we were all sitting very close to one another. Side note- I loved how many boyfriends/husbands attended with their ladies. Never thought I'd see that but very cool. Get your paint brushes ready Adam! A great event. Great company. I will be attending more of these. read more

This was a great time! Our teacher is a talented artist and a very patient. I never felt rushed. He was encouraging and positive during the entire session. The class really allowed for a personal touch and I found it to be incredibly relaxing. They also have assistants that encourage and help you. Overall this was an incredible experience and I am so glad that I did it!! read more

Held a corporate team building event for 55 attendees. This was a lot of fun. Everyone looked forward to the event and continued to talk about it for several days following. A month later, you can still see some artwork in people's cubicles With a private event, you are able to select the location and the artwork piece yourself. We chose a local hotel with a banquet room and had the F&B catered. The instructors (3) were very helpful as many of the people had no confidence in there ability. The pace was good took about 2.5hrs which included a short break Highly recommend Wine and Canvas for a corporate event. read more

Wine & Canvas - Corporate team building! - Party & Event Planning Near Me

Once again, you guys knocked it out of the park! Thank you again for a very lovely afternoon - our group of 40 or so conference attendees thoroughly enjoyed it and stayed in the room for a LONG time afterwards socializing and networking (which was the point). Hope to do it again soon! read more

Awesome company- easy to work with, incredible value, talented staff! I work downtown with a big team and Carolyn and her team came to do two different private events with us. Both were outstanding and our pictures were really fantastic. They even convinced some of the group members that they were artists, and might have created a new hobby for them! We will definitely use them for private events again. They are so flexible with the spaces and the amount of people. One of our events had over 100 people. If you are thinking of doing an event like this- book with them! They are the best. read more

A BIG THANK YOU to Carolyn and Marcus for a memorable Mother's Day event. This past Saturday, 05/09/2020 a total of 18 of my friends and family met virtually to have a canvas and wine party from the comfort of our homes. It was so nice to hear everyone laughing and cracking jokes while painting.    YES, even virtually you can have a fun time... It was so nice that during these challenging times, we were able bring all my family and friends together and enjoy some quality time.  A BIG THANK you to Marcus, we can sense his  passion for the art of painting. I have hosted several canvas/wine events, but by far Carolyn made this event seemless, even with the challenge to mail the supplies to our homes in Los Angeles, CA and Chicago. Kudos to her!  Carolyn, thank you for your hard work and the quick follow up. You're  Awesome!!  I would strongly recommend scheduling a party this AMAZING company!!!  With much gratitude, Rosie read more

We did a virtual wine and canvas class for Christmas, and we had so much fun. Marcus did a great job facilitating the event, creating an engaging and creative environment for our global team! Would highly recommend, and hope to do it again soon!! read more

The name is a False Advertisement. Wine is not included or apart of this event. We had to pay for a glass of wine at the restaurant that hosted it. On top of that we only could get one glass of wine because our server was no where in sight the whole night. The painting portion was fun. Overall they should change there name to just Canvas because unless you want to buy only one glass of wine I recommend going to another wine and paint place where they actually provide wine. read more

With the current situation we are all in, it takes creativity to try to bring some normalcy in our lives. A group of us stared celebrating Mother's Day weekend on Friday with a virtual wine & paint event. Marcus was amazing in keeping a group of 17 on track and allowed us to share our artistic side with the group. We all had a fabulous time and would recommend Wine and Canvas to anyone that would like to venture and enjoy a day or evening with exploring a painting activity with family and friends. Thank you Marcus! Lynn read more

I found this awesomely fun thing via Groupon, and bought it knowing it would be fun as a girls night out, date, or mother/daughter thing, so it wouldn't go to waste. It ended up being a mother/daughter night. My mom was very nervous because she's not an artist (not that I am) but the host and artist both made everything so wonderful, she immediately calmed down. The event we attended was at The Gathering, and not in a private room as in other restaurants but off to one side of the restaurant in our own space. Several people came over and asked what was going on because it's quite the sight. It was fun and because of the close quarters our little table had fun checking out each others paintings and commenting on the food/drinks. If you've ever wanted to hang a pretty picture on your wall and say "I did that." This is the place for you, and each one is a little bit unique (based on the artist) even though the instructor is up front showing you the proper technique. Some paintings are easier than others, but they'll all turn out great. Also, I had a bit of an issue because I didn't know which Groupon code to use when entering it into the online form. I did it incorrectly, but when I contacted them to help they were very quick to help and get my Groupon used and the card not charged. Great customer service both at the event and after. read more

Well this artist is simply the best at instruction. His name is jeff Raney. This was fun fun fun for my husband and i. (He did better than me) I want to take another class right away. We love our twin paintings... Always a good location. Great fun Organized read more

I bought vouchers through Half off San Diego and they wont let me use them so I am out $34 with nothing to show. BEWARE.....Once they don't want to talk to you any more they stop responding to email or phone messages..The only way to get a hold of someone is to leave a message or email. They say the vouchers have been used, but I cancelled the reservation I made. I had to leave a message since no one answers the phone, so I have no idea if any even got my message since no one got back to me. I spent $34 and got NOTHING!!!!!! Will NOT USE THIS COMPANY AND WILL NOT REFER. WILL USE SOME ONE ELSE. read more

Hosted a private event last night and its was a blast! Jeff Raney is an AMAZING teacher, fun and easy to follow with a great soundtrack - our group of 15 laughed, sang songs and brought our our inner artist!! If you're looking to host a group event or attend one of their great public events I highly recommend it and Jeff! read more

Wine & Canvas - Party & Event Planning Near Me

Thank you Wine and Canvas for another successful event! This is was the second time I worked with Carolyn Thorne and her team to provide us with a successful private client event. Our attendees were impressed and everyone had a great time! We look forward to hosting another private event with Wine and Canvas in the near future. read more

My friend and I purchased 2 groupons to use for Wine & Canvas. I must admit, we both were a little intimidated at the whole thing but we ended up having a fun and relaxing time! We went to the Cozymel's location in UTC and had C and Jane as our instructors. They were both great and provided clear instructions and feedback throughout the whole process. My friend and I both were a little skeptical that our blank canvas would eventually turn into something that we could be proud of, but it did just that. Definitely a good time and good for anyone with any level of artistic ability - seriously! We are going back for another session in a couple of weeks. Definitely a good time for friends or couples. The only downside is that they only post one month's worth of classes on the 20th of each month and sessions book up quickly. When I was there, one of the instructors told me that they were working on opening up a studio sometime in the near future. read more

I had my first class for painting at 57 Degrees. We all painted a wine bottle pouring red wine into a glass. So much fun. The artist instructor was talented, afable, and great at describing the steps. I was pleased with the outcome! Highly recommend trying it once, a mini bucket list thing. You will be hooked! read more

By far the best paint and wine classes I've attended. The staff is always great and attentive to your supply needs. The wide variety of art available to create is perfect! I love that they take time to help you as needed. I highly recommend you try it! Such a blast! read more

Total WooHooo! Carolyn helped me pull together a private event for my wife's birthday. The painting was awesome - with GREAT help from the Wine and Canvas team. Friends who attended are still raving over the overall experience. Looking forward to the next one!! read more

I purchased two gift certificates for my daughter and her boyfriend as a gift and was very disappointed that the wine isn't included. I cant believe that two canvases, paint and some instruction is worth $70. At least you could include a small glass of wine since your business is called "Wine and Canvas". Maybe it would be better to call your business what it is...."Paint and Canvas". Also you have couples paint the exact same picture. Maybe have a choice between two that way couples don't have to hang the same picture up that looks exactly the same. read more

I was really excited to try this class, as a friend of mine had taken one similar and loved it. I actually bought a class for two from groupon and took my dad. When we got there, there wasn't anyone to tell us where to sit or what we were supposed to do, eventually someone checked us in. The teacher began the lesson and didn't seem all that organized. Also, since it was called wine and canvas, I thought we would at least get one glass of wine with the sign ups, but no, we had to buy our own drinks, and on top of that, there was only two servers taking orders (the class's was pretty full) and took about 45 minutes to ask us if we wanted anything to drink. This class was a total bummer and I would not recommend it. read more

I signed up for a class, but was unfortunately told that the class was cancelled because not enough people has signed up. My friend and I then decided to move our class over to another one... which then got cancelled again! It was definitely an inconvenience, but after I emailed them, they offered me the opportunity to reschedule my class AND take another one on the house. In terms of customer service, they did a great job. Not only did they email me back, but personally called to make sure I was happy and that I would have a great time :) The woman was very sweet and understanding. I can't wait to take my class! read more

I hosted a Paint and Wine night for my sisters birthday. Jeff was our instructor and he was top notch. We all had so much fun!! We had a very large group with a lot of different ages ( 5 yr olds to 90 yr olds) and we all had such a great time. We will definitely be using them again. I did all my coordination through Carolyn and she was such a breeze to work with. Thank you for helping me make my sisters birthday so much fun. Jeff was a hit :) read more

I and a few friends painted with Wine and Canvas team at Fabrison's French Creperie Café in Little Italy last night, and it was lovely, fun, with very good instruction, set-up and nice paints for the art you work on from 6pm-9pm. read more

Attended one in Rancho Bernardo. Enjoyed the experience. Artist gave step-by-step instructions that were easy to follow. Assistant needed to take better pictures to capture the painting experience. read more

I start my painting adventure almost 4 years ago and I felt in love, then I brought my sister with me and it became our traditional once a month sister's date, we just choose a painting from the calendar and that's it! There are so many choices out there to paint and drink wine, but none can compare to Wine & Canvas! Their quality of teachers, venues, material is high and hold up to my expectations. The customer service us superb and I adore the owners and all their personnel, specially Jeff. Last year I hold a private party to celebrate my 50's at home and it turned out to be a huge success! I had recommended you to all my friends and family, and many had become frequent painters just as my sister and I! Keep it up! And we love your app rewards by the way, great idea! Last but not list, you are the only ones offering "Cookies & Canvas" for the little ones, and my daughter and friends had enjoyed those classes tremendously as well!Salud for many more years of fun, painting and creating memories! Thank you Wine & Canvas! read more

I booked this class as a surprise for my boyfriend so we could have a relaxing night together. I have been to two other painting classes like this one with different companies, and both times it was a quiet, relaxing experience. Based on that, I assumed that this class would have at least a section of the venue to ourselves and it would be at least somewhat quiet. The class I went to tonight was held at 57 Degrees during a corporate party that got LOUD. The noise was absolutely non-stop and totally disruptive. It was hard to focus on the class and the light music they tried to play was drowned out. I did not pay $70 to share space with a loud party a few feet away. Very unprofessional that they would book this venue while there was already an event going on. I will never use this company again. The painting turned out well but I wish I hadn't spent so much money on such a disappointing experience. read more

I signed up for a class that was cancelled and attended this one instead. The venue was awful -- we were crowded into a small part of the Hard Rock Cafe with no room to move around, the teacher couldn't get around,etc. When we took a break and went to the restroom we all wondered why they hadn't used the nice, large private room that was empty. The teacher was disorganized, said more than once "I'm not sure how to tell you this" and just made jokes instead. The assistant didn't assist. One person asked for clean water and the assistant told them they didn't need it. Another asked and he told her to go get some from the bar. The instructions were unclear and we never got any feedback on our painting. I've gone to other painting events and thought they were great, but a combination of the instructor and the venue I won't choose Wine and Canvas again. read more

Do not buy a living social coupon with them! This is the second time I've purchased from them. The first time our classes were booked by the time we "supposedly" could use the coupon and it gave me an invalid promo code. The second time which I am currently STILL trying to book, I was told by Mary that on Friday our vouchers would work. Well, they are STILL saying invalid and the class we originally wanted is full. Same exact thing as last time. Paint N' Vineyard is much better to schedule. And this schedule keeps changing as well when I check. read more

We had so much fun the other night! A fun get together with friends. And you don't need to be an artist to have a really great time. And you have a cool piece of art at the end to remember the night. Definitely going back! read more

I have been to 3 Wine & Canvas events , all at different locations, and have had an outstanding time at every one. Once I went with a GF, once by myself & once with a male friend. All delightful in their own ways. It is just a great way to forget everything & concentrate on something new in a fun and relaxing environment. Each friend immediately wanted to introduce others to the fun. It is amazing how each painting has its own beauty. I have never tried painting before but they guide you along so everyone does a good job. More and more couples are showing up too. So much fun. Do not hesitate to try this if you have ever wanted to paint. Also, I haven't had any trouble signing up either with a coupon or just online. I even put my name on the wait list and was contacted once. If you want to sit close to the teacher, it is good to get there at least 20 minutes early. read more
