Wine & Design — Attraction in Greensboro

Fun time, but a couple suggestions for improvement. My wife and I wanted to do something different for our date night, so we decided to do some painting! Found the schedule online, liked the painting selection, and booked the class. The BYOB casual atmosphere is great, we had a fun time, and we would do it again. There are a couple reasons, however, why we only gave 4 stars for our experience: While the class was for an abstract-style painting, the one on display during the class was of a different style. Several folks were confused about the difference and not having a finished product of what we were actually trying to accomplish made it more difficult. A few of us pulled out our cell phones and looked at the picture from the event schedule, but it just would have made more sense to have an actual example painting there in front of us. While our teacher, Savannah, was obviously talented, she just wasn't a great teacher. Maybe it was just an off night for her? Those of us without artistic skills really could have used more coaching. And "coaching," by the way, doesn't mean asking the class attendee if you can sit in his chair while you fix his painting. It means guiding said attendee in HOW to achieve the...

My guest and I prepaid for this event and made sure we added our names to the notes area so we can be seated together (as indicated). When we arrived there were no seats available. The event was sold out but I witnessed her [manager] register new people and send them confirmation emails. When it was my groups time to check-in, we were given an apology because they couldn't accomodate us. She said there was an issue with the reservation system, but that seemed like a lie because she pulled mine up just fine and I saw a number of other ppls names on the list. I was celebrating a birthday, and one of my guest traveled almost 2 hours to attend. They refused to grant me a refund on spot, (which I could of used to figure out what we were going to do to celebrate my birthday). They said I would have to email them to request a refund, which I plan to get, but it doesn't account for the stress /emotions this error caused. VERY VERY VERY unprofessional practices.

Sad thing is that. Another group of ppl who was also celebrating a birthday had the...

We purchased tickets online for our 1 year marriage anniversary. $76 for a 2 hour class from 6:30-8:30. We were the only 2 in attendance on a Friday night “Opposites Attract” on 01/19. The experience felt more rushed than we expected. It didn’t truly feel like we had quality instruction. Our instructor painted and talked way ahead of us, and let us know toward the beginning that she had intended on it being a quick class. I was a beginner, and my husband had never been to a paint & sip, so we both secretly yearned for attentiveness (especially with us being the only 2 customers). We understood the instructor’s sense of urgency, since she had her child with her who appeared to be tired an hour into hour into the event. We wrapped things up around 7:30 which was fine since we wanted to purchase dinner before it got too late. Overall it was a nice atmosphere. Would definitely consider coming with a larger group and during an instruction that moves a bit slower. My husband and I just didn’t feel like this experience...
