Art of Merlot

Highly recommend this place it was so much fun meeting new people as you paint. It is even better that you can bring your own selection of wine to this location. It is centered in the downtown Scottsdale location where there is Lively music restaurants things to do people to see events to admire. The staff was nice and accommodating when you want to paint another picture other than what has been given they give suggestions and are very generous with the paint. I do plan on returning again the price was average not able to go month after month but still planning on going again! I hope you liked it as much as I did!

Audra was amazing, helpful and patient. The beauty of this place is that there is the option to choose different pairings than what everyone else is painting. We had a blast! Can't wait to go back!!

Very fun experience! It's paint by the numbers with fun music and a great vibe. Definitely recommend!

This was my first painting class and I'm glad it was here. Audra and her staff are top notch and will be going back to paint my pet!

I went here with my best friend and her mom. I have never painted before but we had a blast. The staff was so nice and very helpful. They helped me paint a beautiful picture and made sure that we were well accommodated. The atmosphere was so light and fun. We will definitely be taking another class here.

This was such a GREAT time and find!! We have been to A LOT of painting classes (10+) and this one slid right into FIRST PLACE! ❤ We each chose our own painting and were provided individual instructions for color and technique and order, all while sipping on our BYOB/Wine. The staff/instructor is what solidified the First Place spot as she was SO friendly, helpful and positive. Her happy energy was contagious!! It's an hour drive for us, but we will do it again because it was that good and worth it!!

Art of Merlot is a great place for many different reasons. They are a "paint and drinks" place which there seems to be a lot of now. Art of Merlot was one of the first and have been around for about 7 years now I think. Considering the rent in Old Town Scottsdale and their prices being fair, they are doing something right. It's a great place to do a group event or birthday party but it's also a great place for couples or just by yourself to unwind and forget your troubles while creating your masterpiece. You can bring your own drink of choice but they also have a few things on hand incase you forget yours. The staff is wonderful and always ready to answer your questions about how to achieve what you want to do with your painting. They have different sessions so check the website to see what fits your idea of fun. Sometimes everyone does the same thing, which I think is more about learning to paint, and other times you can pick the painting you want to try from the ones they have there or bring in your own ideas. It's also a great place for dates because you can talk and get to know each other without shouting over music or across the table. Just lots of fun and something different than the norm.

Art of Merlot was a fabulous venue. Everything from the scheduling chaos to the event itself was pleasant. Setting up a team building event for 23 people can be stressful, however, the owner Audra was such a great help in the scheduling and also with hosting the event. Also Beth was a great Art MC. Their location is in the beautiful art district of downtown Scottsdale and is spacious enough to host even larger groups than mine. The ambiance was great, and my group had a fantastic time. Kudos Audra and the Art of Merlot I am very happy with my decision of location for my event.
