About Us
(Since you asked)
Founded By Two Friends
Pinot & Picasso was founded in 2018 by two friends, James & Aaron, who had a simple idea: create a place where people could relax with a wine in hand, get creative, and have a good time.
A few days later they signed a lease (while confidently pretending the business had already been running for months), picked a name, and started building Pinot & Picasso.
Bold strategy. Thankfully, it worked.
What We Do
Let’s get one thing out of the way.
You don’t need to be good at art to come to Pinot & Picasso. In fact, many of our guests proudly aren’t. We create a fun, inclusive space where everyone can have a go and surprise themselves along the way.
Our artists break each painting down step-by-step so anyone can follow along. If you can hold a paintbrush and enjoy a drink, you’re already overqualified.
By the end of the session, you’ll leave with your very own masterpiece - something you’ll proudly hang on the wall, or at the very least show your mum.
Proof It’s Actually Fun
I was bought a seat for the paint a pet portrait. We were made to feel so welcome by Pip & Rosie. Pip explained everything so clearly and the whole session was done at a lovely pace. Rosie offered advice and showed me how to do different techniques. I am not an artist but Pip & Rosie put me at ease and helped so I did complete my picture. Absolutely brilliant afternoon. Thank you!

“Highly recommend the Sauvignon and the painting! The staff were so lovely and let us order pizza to the venue. We went off piste on our painting choices and the staff helped us finesse our "masterpieces". Great option for a baby shower, hen do or just a fun night doing something different. Thanks for having us!”

"Eoghan and Ciara hosted a wonderful session for us! We did the arctic painting as a work Christmas party and it was brilliant. They explained what we had to do really clearly and it was a really friendly welcome - really recommend for a work party or would also be great to a hen do or birthday!"
