Art and Wine, a perfect blend
As the days get shorter and colder, what better way to enjoy a glass of wine while being cozy indoors and admire some art, or let your own creative energy flow!
Accompanied by a loved one or attending alone, because when experiencing art, you are never truly alone. Being touched by art can happen in solitude…yes…art moves in mysterious ways.
I am a huge art lover myself. I enjoy art gazing as much as wine gazing. Wineries form a beautiful decor for art wandering and attending or hosting art classes.
Here are three must visit wineries in (West) Kelowna for art gazing while holding a glass of wine in one hand.
- The Vibrant Vine Winery Located in Kelowna, this Winery is an explosion of color and fun, even their wine bottles are a true piece of art.
- Grizzli Winery Located in West Kelowna, this winery is an architectural masterpiece and home of Grizzli Art Gallery.
- The Gallery Winery Beautiful paintings by co-owner of this winery, artist Natascha Campbell. Her art is also showcased on their winelabels. Located in West Kelowna.
There are so-called sip and paint classes, where you can enjoy a glass of wine while creating a piece of art yourself. And remember, whether you are a beginner or want to learn new techniques, art is also about having fun and experimenting. Don’t let your perfectionism get in the way of a wonderful experience (little note for the perfectionists among us and note to self :)).
Here are some upcoming sip and paint classes in (West) Kelowna, in order of date
1. November 11, 2023. Create a vibrant landscape (acrylic). Volcanic Hills Winery.
2. November 12, 2023. Christmas in Watercolor. The Vibrant Vine Winery.
A special shout-out to number 2 on this list, just because I experienced a sip and paint class before from great artist Janice Keirstead Hennig at The Vibrant Vine Winery. I created a ‘Messy Masterpiece’ and learned a new technique (blowing paint). Overall experience was superb. See picture below for the end result.
