An Abstract Art Workshop & Wine Tasting Experience
About this Event

Indulge in a delightful afternoon of wine tasting and art-making at the picturesque Reichwage Winery in Sebastopol, CA.

Join Artist-in-Residence Michele de la Menardiere for a unique, multisensory workshop that blends the art of wine tasting with the freedom of abstract painting. As you explore the evocative aromas, textures, and colors of a curated selection of wines, Michele will guide you in translating those sensory impressions into expressive works of art. Through creative prompts focusing on color, form, and gesture, you'll learn to visually capture what you taste and feel.

This joyful, hands-on experience is designed to awaken your senses, ignite your imagination, and offer a relaxing, inspiring space for playful self-expression.

No art or wine experience is needed—just bring your curiosity and a willingness to have fun. All skill levels are warmly welcome.

What’s Included

• A guided, abstract art session at the scenic Reichwage Winery led by Artist-in-Residence, Michele de la Menardiere

• A curated tasting (3 wines)— explore the textures, aromas, and colors of each pour, using them as inspiration for your artistic expression

• All art materials included acrylic paint, brushes, paper, and canvas boards

• A special take-home gift to keep your creative energy flowing_______
