The Paint & Wine Studio

THE PAINT & WINE STUDIO LOCATION

We are located in the "Golden Isles" of coastal Georgia, 10 minutes from the Atlantic Ocean. The area features beaches, wildlife, "Live Oak" trees draped with "Spanish Moss", and historic architecture going back to the 1800's. It is a popular tourist destination, with the Goodyears, Rockefellers, and other wealthy families building their winter retreats on the coast during the turn of the century.

Q: Do you have public classes in your current studio?

A: Yes and no. Our "Instructor Certification Seminar" is open to public registration but our studio is not open to the public i.e. "walk-in" registration or anything last-minute. We now focus on training and certifying the best instructors and business development, at our location as well as at our client's studios throughout the nation.

Q: Nearest airports?

A: Savannah, GA (SAV) and Jacksonville, FL (JAX) are the nearest international airports, 1 hr drive north or south of the studio. Brunswick Golden Isles Airport (BQK) is served by Delta through Atlanta (ATL) and 15 mins drive from the studio. Private aircraft can fly into Malcolm McKinnon Airport (SSI) on St. Simon's Island, 15 mins from the studio.
