Sometimes bar hopping feels like a bit too much for a Friday night. You can still enjoy a glass of wine attached to a much lower key activity at Pinot's Palette in Tustin, located just about 10 minutes away from Estrella. Instead of sipping your vino (or beer) in a crowded bar, you'll savor it alongside fellow artists at a painting class.

You don't even have to bring along your own bottle or six-pack at this Pinot's Palette. There's a wine bar in-house, stocked with a spread of fine wines, craft beers, and booze-free beverages. Grab a glass or a bottle, then take your seat for the two- or three-hour painting class. Over the course of the class, your instructor will walk you through painting a masterpiece, step by step, making it simple enough for even a novice to keep up. You can actually take it home and hang it on the wall right after your class at Pinot's Palette.
