Wine & Design

Went for the first time last night! It was so fun! Even tho I’m not an artist it came out all right.

This is definitely something worth checking out! David is amazing and it’s so cute a Funtime!!!

This is my second time and I can’t wait to continue doing classes! The teachers are great. I really like Angelina. She is a lot of fun and plays great music.

This place is awesome very friendly staff that are very helpful. I love painting and drinking. The staff makes it a very fun experience.

First time for everything! I didn’t think I would enjoy it myself since I was the designated driver for wife’s birthday. Everything was set up and explained for anyone that would like to jump in and get to painting. Great instructors and servers. Good selection of beer and wine. They let us take snacks to enjoy our time. Many events are already posted and cant wait to try the couples paintings…

We had a great time with hannah!
There are no mistake!
A lot of fun with do with your best friend

Super fun, even for a beginner. Nice wines to purchase which make it even more fun! I highly recommend. I will be back.

I love this place! I have fun, sip on wine and get to play with paint. I don’t have any formal painting experience and love that it feels «safe» to paint without judgement but some gentle guidance. I’ve gone alone and also with friends. I highly recommend this business. I will definitely be back as much as I can.

super fun. easy to understand instructions very patient and easy to work with. What’s better then drinks and painting? Bring a friend or two and have a blast.

Very fun! Will definitely recommend and keep coming back! Can’t wait to create more memories!

I love Wine and Design. I have been about 15 times and love spending time with my friends, painting and drinking wine. Yes, I am a wine lover, too. The artists are patient and funny and ready to help you, if needed. Amber and David rock!

A wonderful way to spend a Saturday evening! With the help of Instructor David and Assistan Amber, you will feel a sense of accomplishment after your fun evening.
And the glass of wine was great.

I was here twice now… i am totally addicted. Fun environment took my daughter the first time quality time. The instructor Artist Amber is awesome very helpful. I had never painted before and i walked out feeling like my painting was great… .I will keep coming back. oh and the wine was great.

I love this place! I’ve had both Amber and David as teachers and they are both wonderful! Super encouraging! I highly recommend going!

I had a really great time at Wine & Design. The wine that came with our session was excellent. I choose a red but there were other options. Our instructor & assistant were fun. They walked us through the painting process fairy well. I was sitting in an area where the instructor’s back was facing toward me so I wasn’t always able to see what he was painting. I’m a little bummed they don’t offer anything for teenagers. You have to be at least 21 to be in the art studio so my 15 year old & I can’t do this as a Mother/​Daughter date as I had hoped. They do offer family friendly sessions but so far they’ve all been directed at small children. I’m hoping they’ll offer classes for teens+ in the future. I would love to come back and paint something else. It was very gratifying to go home with a finished work of art. (Even if my tree does look like Ursula from The Little Mermaid!) ;-)

Such a very nice welcome for us first timers! We are very excited to get started! Everyone is very friendly!

I had so much fun painting (and drinking)! The best part was not having to clean my brushes afterward! I will be coming back many more times!

I am so hooked on orcutt wine and design. The staff are friendly and so helpful! David is the best instructor and I have learned so much from him. I would recommend to anyone !

Visited Wine and Design this evening for the very first time. It was the most amazing experience. The instruction was great. I have never painted before good value for the money. I am going to plan my next birthday party with wine and design

I have been to 2 of these types of paint and drink places in the past, both in Austin, TX before coming to paint here. I have just moved to the area and thought this would be GREAT for me and my visiting friend to do! The class was great, the wine was great, the group of people we were with were great.
Pros:
Great positive space, assistants are very helpful and friendly, walls are covered with previous paintings they have had, wine selection was great, they offer groupons, the instructor was pleasant (needed to be more flexible-​see cons), Loved the red chalkboard wall that the instructor uses to show steps that might be hard to see them paint on the actual canvas, love that they take a group picture at the end and post it to the facebook page for everyone to see, they provide aprons for everyone, each painting station was well organized with paints, brushes, paper towels and water for each individual-​no need to share, employees were offering to take photos of guests after our time was complete if guests had brought cameras,
Cons:
Instructors:
*Instructors need to be more flexible, especially since there were a lot of first timers to painting in general in our group. Our instructor would not slow down when asked on more than one occasion by a few different people saying he was on a time limit. He also would paint and not let the class know what he was doing. So unless you looked up, he had moved on to another step, which I think is why so many people would ask him to slow down.- we were last last class of the night and if the time runs over a few minutes in order to help the guest create a better quality painting instead of rushing to keep up, you should do it. It’s all about creating a raving fan of the business.
*As the night went on, our instructor would tell us to make a certain color but wouldn’t tell us what colors to mix telling us, it’s purple, you know what colors make purple… that’s not ok. You are a teacher, and as a teacher it’s your job to help your students feel comfortable to create without worries. A lot of guests had to rely on each other for help mixing colors.
*The tables needed to be spread out more as if you were sitting near the front you were pretty squished– back to back with the person behind you–
Overall/​Suggestions/​tip:
Overall we had a great time and I would totally come back and paint again. We loved the step by step (for the most part) instruction, the cheerful, bright colored room we were in, the support staff, and just the overall experience. I have definitely shared this place with my friends on facebook and just in passing.
Suggestion: build a platform for the artist to create on. It will make it easier for everyone to see the painting the instructor is creating, especially the guests in the back, it will be easier to turn the painting for everyone to see, and easier for the instructor to project their directions out among the chatting group of wine drinkers. :)
Tip: Look to see if they have a Groupon running before you go. They are totally worth it…2 painters 2 glasses of wine for almost half the cost.
