The Painted Cabernet The Painted Cabernet, a Paint & Sip Studio. The Painted Cabernet speaks to the artist in all of us. Every day I appreciate everything Santa Barbara has to offer.
(591)

The upscale urban studio, located in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara, offers a friendly, hip and creative environment for an evening on the town, a bachelorette party, a bit of “me” time or an out-of-the-ordinary date night. If you haven’t painted since elementary school, step into The Painted Cabernet and your inner artist will be rekindled. Our instructional artist will walk you step by step

through the painting experience giving one-on-one instruction while affording you the freedom to create. The studio offers oodles of fabulous choices for your masterpiece, and offers fabulous wines from the Santa Barbara region, allowing you to “sip and stroke in style.”

Maria Wilson, Owner
Until I moved away from Santa Barbara, I never took the time to really appreciate all it had to offer. I’ve been gone for 25 years and I waited patiently for the right time to move back. It took a lot of work and energy to get back, but it was all worth it. The small-town feel, the friendly people, the weather, the beaches, the sunsets and the restaurants. I love to drive on State Street and see what is going on. I go out of my way to take the beach route so I can smell the ocean and feel like a teenager again. The art scene, the restaurants…. mmmmm. Did I forget to mention the fabulous wine? With a marketing background, I knew I wanted to open a business that was fun, lively and exciting. I knew I hit the mark when I made the decision to open The Painted Cabernet. You see, I am famous for drawing a stick-figure of a turkey. That is it. But amazingly I can paint beautiful art pieces with the help and instruction of our art instructors. I knew if I could do it, you can too! And please, feel free to ask me to draw you my famous turkey!

We were honored to be featured on KEYT News! 🎨📺

For 14 years, The Painted Cabernet has been part of the downtown Santa Barbara community. Over the years we've celebrated birthdays, date nights, girls' nights, team events, anniversaries, and thousands of first-time painters.

Today, we're excited to continue growing with family classes, summer art camps, outdoor patio painting, food and drinks, and new ways to bring creativity to our community.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the past 14 years. Whether you've painted with us once or twenty times, you're part of our story.

If you haven't visited in a while, come see what's new. We'd love to paint with you soon.
