Pinot’s Palette

Pinot’s Palette, an awesome date night activity located in a popular shopping center in Ellicott City. My husband and I enjoyed our time here and can’t wait to return. There are discounts for purchasing classes in advance and discounts for returning patrons. So much fun! Great music and the teacher was excellent.

Had a great time!!! The ladies were friendly, very helpful and knowledgable. Our teacher even accomodated late arrivals with grace and I didn’t feel like any instruction to the rest of the class was missed while she tended to them.
My only cristicsms are that I didn’t know wine was NOT inluded in the price and the music could’ve been a bit more diverse.

This is a fun way to spend a couple hours with some friends or on a date. I feel repeatability is moderate, though, since if I’m going to be coming a lot, I’d rather it be for more formal instruction to learn how to paint than just following along with the instructor. However, that’s also a strength of this class: You really don’t have to have any sort of artistic ability. My husband’s pencil drawings can be a bit… primitive… and his animals for some reason are frequently missing limbs, but you’d never be able to tell that from his painting. It’s great for if you want to have fun, then, but don’t really have the time to get good at whatever you’re doing, which is oftentimes helpful for having fun in the first place.
It’s laid-​back here, and ambience is nice; my husband liked the music, and lighting was enough to see what you were doing well, without being sterile. Staff is upbeat and encouraging. They are also attentive, coming by to show you a painting close-​up so you can better see what you’re trying to emulate, or giving you new paper towels when yours are soaked through.
It’s entirely possible that my husband never bothered to read the «extraneous» information when he booked this, but we didn’t realize that you were allowed to bring your own refreshments. I recommend doing this, since our class was 3 hours long, and they do take some short breaks to wait for the paint to dry at times. If you forget, there’s a Subway and a grocery store in the plaza to buy stuff from. They have alcohol in-​house, but as neither my husband nor I drink, we can’t comment on that.
Aprons are provided, though it doesn’t get too messy. I’d still be careful because they use acrylic paints.
They do take pictures during the class and post to Facebook. I don’t know how it would work if you have concerns about this.

I had the best night out with a great group of friends. Pinot’s Palette has a great location near very good restaurants. The studio is very nice and the staff was wonderful. I have done two «wine and paint» evenings. This venue was by far the nicest and the art selection and instruction was far superior.

Excellent paint and sip studio very upscale. They have a nice selections of wine and beer. This is not an art class, this is fun! Great girl’s night out and we saw lots of couples on dates. Very cool. We did not want to leave. Excellent, we will be back.
