| - I LOVE Wine & Design, have been going for months and months, and am kind of surprised it's taken me this long to write a review. The owners, Sarah and Heather, pretty much live there. It's awesome to always know you can get in touch with one of them, not a bunch of employees who never know what's going on because there's no communication. The booking system is so simple- go to the website (wineanddesignus.com), choose the city, choose the painting, fill in basic contact info, and you're done. The classes themselves vary in difficulty, but overall seem beginner-level and are very painter-friendly. The artists are knowledgeable, approachable, and super helpful- they even have a way of explaining things through the guided class that make sense. I love that at the end of class, everyone leaves with their own unique piece of art, even though they all started as the same rough sketch. A group picture is taken at the end of class and emailed to you , along with a survey, early the next day so that your bragging can begin immediately. Within a few days, the photo is also uploaded to Facebook. While in class, you are free to walk up to the stage to get a closer look at the finished "guide" painting, refill your wine, or get a snack (usually provided). It is a very laid back atmosphere, and while I'm there, I have no time (or desire) to even think about anything else. It's a perfect spot for "me time." It can also be rented for a private party where you can choose from one of the 3,000 paintings in the W&D portfolio (or even ask if they'd be able to make one custom for your event/theme). I have a fantastic experience every time I go and highly recommend it to everyone.
