Vin Gogh is the perfect place for a date night with your beau or a fun ladies night out! It’s a fun departure from the typical team-building activities for your staff and would be a great icebreaker to get to know each other in a fun and laid back setting. Paint nights are all the rage for many of reasons and you have an expert to walk you through the process every step of the way.

A few weeks back, my girlfriends and I headed out on the town for a girl’s night out. It was a great way to break up the work week and enjoy each other’s company over a little bit of paint and a large glass of wine. Included in the registration fee is one glass of your choice, and with the eclectic selection you are sure to find something that excites your palette.
We arrived early enough that we had time to enjoy some of their delightful offerings on the menu. We began with their 3 Dip Platter with Pita Chips & Veggies. The dips include: Roasted Eggplant, Hummus, and Olive Tapenade (our personal favorite).
The flatbreads were also to die for. It ranks right up there with any other you’d find at an upscale restaurant around Calgary. My personal pick is the capicolla and prosciutto with balsamic tomato sauce, and fresh tomatoes. Though honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of the options available.
Another good choice: Prosciutto pesto with fresh arugula and lemon.
It was soon time shop to recreate our own rendition of an almond tree. Our painting guru for the night was both knowledgable and friendly. As we began she circled around to provide each of us with some personalized tips along with encouragement that we could make it our own. In the interest of full disclosure, it has been a long, long time since I have painted anything, so it took a little while to get into the swing of things, however once it started coming together it really was easy. With a few little tips on color-mixing, highlights and lowlights, we all felt a little more confident in our artistic prowess by the time we left. Though the wine might have helped a little…
While our first layer of our background wash needed time to dry we were able to have a little fun around the studio as well…
My girlfriends thought the yellow one suited me more…
A well-deserved ladies night out for all of us!
Finished with a sweet treat…
And the final result…
Next time you are looking for a fun place to escape from your thoughts and embrace your inner artist, this might just be the perfect place for you. Have you tried a paint night yet? Leave a comment below and I’d love to hear your thoughts!
