I found a new and interesting entertainment venue. There are different iterations of it around the country, but here in St. Louis, a new franchise opened in Creve Coeur in November (12623 Olive Boulevard). It is called Painting With A Twist. On Friday, I had the opportunity to do a wine tasting during one of their sessions. The basic premise is that you come in and paint a picture under the tutelage of an artist who walks you step-by-step through the process. And the best part…it’s BYOB! You and your friends sign up, bring snacks and a bottle or two (wine is the theme, but all beverages are welcome) and they supply the aprons, brushes, canvas and paint. They have a wide selection of pictures you can paint for just about every taste. Just check the website and pick a session you like. You can also book a private room with your own artist for your group of 10-24 people. At the end of the session, you get to keep your art! And you did it yourself!
This is the painting my wife did. She is so talented!
This process kept them so engaged, not many people took time to even taste wine! They sure had a great time, though. So look around in your community and see if any of these “paint and sip” themed businesses is located nearby. Then, sign up and get ready to express your wine-fueled creativity!
