Wine & Design

Everyone needs to do this at least once in their lives. I went with a group of 10 girls and we had so much fun! It is $ 35 to attend and you can bring your own wine or drinks. The teacher and assistants walked around to help and they walked you through every step so don’t worry if you’re not a natural artist ;) Bottle openers, aprons, cups, all paint supplies, and a fun music playlist were provided. They have so many different pictures you can choose from. I will definitely be going again!

We had a wonderful experience!!! Marianne was so nice and fun. She was patient and so helpful. This wine and design location is truly the best! Highly recommend.

My boyfriend and I went to a class on a Saturday night. We had so much fun! The instruction was clear and we were able to add our own personal touches to the paintings! They really came out great. We brought a bottle of wine and split it between the two of us. Also want to say that the instructor was very bubbly and friendly! We will definitely be back!

I visited Wine and Design when I went to visit a friend in North Carolina. I had been to similar places in Jersey and this was just as fun. The instructors were so patient as I got drunk with my friend and tried to pain Monet’s bridge. The room is spacious and they let you bring anything from wine to food. One group almost had a real party full of drinks and apps! Upon arrival, our canvas was outlined so you knew what and where to start your painting, though you still had free range to create as you pleased. There are tons of options for paintings and a full wall of artwork you can purchase as well. Such a fun place for a girls night out or even a date night. For someone with zero artistic talent, it’s a great place to create your own little «masterpiece.»

This was a really fun way to make memories with family/​friends! We weren’t sure quite what to expect, and had little faith in our abilities coming in… but the fun started as soon as we walked in the door. We were warmly greeted & joined by friendly participants… all of whom walked out with beautiful likenesses of their pets. We’re happy with our paintings & will spread the word! We loved Sidney & the team at Wine & Design!

Went there a few weeks ago on a date. Anna was the instructor. Had a wonderful time. Fun, community atmosphere. One guy had a little too much, but Anna did a good job in keeping him in check. I will definitely be back!

We gave my wife a surprise birthday party. The staff was incredibly generous and easy to work with. They allowed us to put up decorations and helped out with what they had as well. The painting was fun. There was music playing, and fun being had by all. The instructor (Kristen I think– I’m bad with names) was fun, funny, patient, and a good teacher. It was a a great night. I would’ve never thought so cause I can’t draw or paint but that’s part of the fun. We would return with no hesitation.

My niece had her 8^th birthday party here and it was such a great party! Of course she had a Frozen themed picture of Elsa and a castle and all the girls at the party had such a great time. The instructor did such a wonderful job with the kids and even had Disney music playing throughout the party. What a great place to have a bday party for an art lover. Will def need to come back here for a girls’ night ;)

We had a bachelorette here and they were so wonderful. They let my maid of honor come in really early and set things up, were easy to work with, and had a lot of fun. Definitely a great spot to have a party!

Wine and Design is my new fav hobby! I can’t believe I didn’t know about this sooner. I’ve already been to four different classes and every picture I have painted looks gorgeous! The artists are super helpful at guiding you through each step and great at helping you through any mistakes. I even have booked a private party here and we got Anna as our artist… she’s the best! She was very patient with our group and making sure that everyone was satisfied with their final product! It’s such a fun girls night out or a date night. I am obsessed!

This was such an amazing night out. Perfect for a girls night date night or just go by yourself. Bring a bottle of wine and painting away. The instructors are truly awesome and help you with any questions or concerns your painting and that better than what you thought you could do glad I did it and highly suggest this company.

I had so much fun at this place! The last time I painted was in grade school so I was very hesitant to go but I’m so glad I did. A group of about 10 girls went, brought food, drinks, & the place provided the painting supplies. It felt like our own little house party at a friends house. The instructor was awesome and went slow enough for everyone. It’s amazing how great mine (& all others) turned out. I even have mine hanging on my wall in the living room! They explain how to mix the colors and clearly show where to paint. You’d think I’d been painting for years looking at my finished masterpiece!

Tried one of their classes for the first time last night at Fullsteam Brewery in Durham. So here is how it works. You can view what paintings they are doing and when on their website calendar. You pay in advance (I paid through pay pal) and just show up! There were two ladies last night at the event, I wish I could remember their names, sweethearts they were. All the supplies are there for you along with an apron so you don’t have to worry about getting paint on your clothes. The painting we did cost $ 35, tax included. They gave step by step instructions and even «helped» you when you mess up! They played some fun music during the class and asked you if you need anything, more paint, questions, ideas etc… I didn’t feel rushed and had a blast with my girlfriends. I can’t wait to do another one.
*Fullsteam does not serve food but there was a food truck on site and when you signed in they gave you a coupon for a couple bucks off. I thought that was a nice touch.

Always have a fun time here! Love Marianne and Craig. I feel so talented when I leave.

The last time I had painted or done anything artistic prior to this experience was back in elementary school when we did finger painting and any and all artistic work was ooh-​ed and ah-​ed by teachers and parents alike. Thus, I was highly suspicious as to whether I could create a work of art that was worthy to display to others. My anxiety further increased when I walked into and was presented with a piece of canvas with only the outline of the bird — no outline of the moon, branches, or flowers that we were to paint.
Our instructor was absolutely fantastic — she guided us every step of the way, explaining the basics of how to mix paint colors and stroke styles and let us experiment with our personal preferences how light/​dark we wanted certain things. She nurtured the hidden artistic side of me and encouraged that side to spread its wings and fly. Though I was a initially hesitant to free form the branches and flowers onto that piece of canvas, by the time we got around to that part, I was much more comfortable with the free-​form-​ness of painting.
I felt that our instructor was very supportive of artists of all skill levels, whether they be noobs (me) or artistic spirits. I had fellow class-​goers who created paintings that strayed from the color scheme or design. At the end of the painting session, I had created a work of art that I’m proud to display!

Planned a «girls night out» — and had a blast!
No experience needed. Step-​by-​Step directions make all pictures turn out pretty much the same, with just enough «personality» that you bring home one that is your own!
Staff provided little things that were awesome, such as wine bottle «chillers»… And the whole experience was just fun! I enjoyed it so much, I’m already planning another class or two…

Fantastic date night, especially if your date is your spouse and you take 2 bottles of wine and share them with your fellow painters.
They put you completely at ease, which is tougher than it sounds, and encouragingly talk you through painting something interesting as you learn technique and sip your adult beverage. We enjoyed out paintings so much we may hang them on our wall (we painted each other as abstract, Picasso-​esque heads).
We plan to go again for sure. Come join us!

How have I not reviewed wine and design yet? I adore this place. They have such a great variety of paintings — there is something for everyone.
Craig and Marianne are really the nicest people. And i think not everyone who can paint — can teach… THEY CAN DO BOTH. They take it slow and are fun and personable. All of their artists are very helpful.
Dont think you have to have ANY painting experience at all to come out with a great painting. They take you through step by step. And if you mess up — no problem… they help you get it looking right. Just go to one class and you’ll start learning the technique and need less and less help.
I’ve been to other locations and they just dont compare to Cary. They have two big studios so they can offer two classes at once. I have had multiple private parties and they are very accomodating — and the prices are very very reasonable.
They also offer a frequent painter card. Pay for 6 classes and your 7^th is free.
They will provide you with everything — paint, canvas, brushes, ice, cups, wine opener… the only thing you bring is your wine.
So convenient and so much fun. If you have not tried, you are missing out. GET TO A LOCATION NEAR YOU!
