Art n' Vino — Attraction in Pittston

I purchased 2 tickets for my girlfriend and I as a Christmas gift to her. I made sure we had a sitter, spent all sorts of time and money in preparation and was pretty excited the day of.

As we were walking in, I noticed the nice and quiet cadence and became even more excited. We walked up to the desk and got met with a confused look once I repeated my name.

"Oh, I tried to call you," said the woman working, "your event was cancelled and we decided to do this picture instead." She pointed to the most god awful / hokey / corny snowman I have ever seen in my life.

I looked at my girlfriend hoping she would want to do it anyway (so much preparation) and it was clear she wouldn't have even wanted a copy of this horror show.

I looked at my email, and the confirmation sent the day before mentioned nothing of this. Extremely annoying. I will give the benefit of the doubt that I received a call and a message was left, but I had not seen it.

Would not recommend as a gift, because apparently things can change on a whim. Hope you have better...

I went to Art n' Vino with a family member who was visiting and said she wanted to do a "paint and sip." I had never gone to one so this is a basline review. This place had plenty of parking. It's located in a building with other businesses and has a couple entrances/exits. I used the lower level entrance which has two doorways you have to go through. You could probably get a wheelchair through them but I wouldn't say that it would be easy to do alone. I do think there is a ramp upstairs but I'm not sure how you get downstairs after entering. I would inquire about this if necessary. I dislike crowds and really noisy places so I'm pretty sensitive to the environment I'm in. I didn't have any issues here. It was comfortable, the instructor was easy to understand and attentive. We had the option to start with a blank canvas or one with a general outline of the painting. It was just a really good experience overall and I felt like I got my money's worth. Also, I easily made reservations online which I appreciate. I would...

My happy place! Phil, the owner, is the perfect guy for a paint and sip place. He is quirky and funny and talented and even when ladies or gent gets a bit rude, he rolls with it, never bringing anyone down. Great music selections and beautiful spot. I have about 25 paintings at this point, so I am hoping for Phil to have some fresh choices in the new location.

You won't be disappointed with the quality on the painting either. Best quality I have seen among other paint and sip shops.

Hoping for many more years for this...
