About Us

Our Company

Picasso & Wine was born in 2012 when Jennifer Woods, and her two daughters, Alissa & Alanna opened the first Paint & Sip Art Studio in Nevada. Located in a trendy neighborhood of Midtown Reno, and in a historic 1930’s building, it offers customers a unique experience from the moment you walk in the door. It is our mission to offer a space where people can come together to embrace and flex their creativity, while having a grand ol’ time painting, making and designing.

Our goal at Picasso & Wine, beyond all else, is to inspire and empower creativity.

Meet the Staff of Picasso & Wine

Picasso & Wine can only be the great place that it is by being run by wonderful people.

Alissa Woods

Owner / Artist

Well…she kinda runs the show at Picasso & Wine. At least we let her think she does. Alissa’s main responsibilities are Creative Development, Marketing and Teaching classes. She also dabbles in Accounting, HR and Janitorial…like most small business owners do! She’s kind of a badass…that’s why we don’t mess with her. Kidding. We totally do!

Alanna Woods

Owner/Bartender

Alanna is the all-important drink slinger at Picasso & Wine. She manages all things bar related including inventory, drink creation and is usually the person you speak to when you call the studio. She makes sure everyone has a tasty concoction and a smile on their face. Yep. Magic. She’s also a badass, as you can tell by her picture. That’s why we don’t mess with her. Kidding. We totally do!

If I come with a group, can we all sit together?

Seating is first come, first serve. If you have a large party please show up early or call us in advance. We typically can make sure your whole party stays together.

What is your cancellation policy?

Public Events: Picasso & Wine offers an art instruction and entertainment event that can be compared to a concert or theater event. We realize that unforeseen things happen, but we also would appreciate the time to offer the seat to others and fill the spot.

Reservations are non refundable. A full credit will be issued if you contact us at least 48 hours prior to the event. Cancellations made within 48 hours will result in a credit, less a $10 cancellation fee per seat.  NO credits or refunds for no-shows.

Tickets are fully transferable, and you may let someone of your own choosing use your ticket in your absence.

Private Events: We have a 10 day cancellation policy for Private Events. In the event you need to cancel within 10 days of your event, you forfeit your deposit. Should any guests cancel inside of the 10 day policy, they will be issued a credit for a future class. We do not issue refunds for Private Events. 

We may cancel Public classes without a minimum of 10 attendees. Customers will be notified via email and a refund will be given. If a different event is scheduled instead, your ticket will automatically be transferred to the new event. You have the option of a refund up to 48 hours prior if you choose not to attend the replacement event.

Our staff works very hard to ensure that you have a good time. Tipping is very much appreciated, but not required. Thank you!
