Visit Jonathan Edwards Winery, 74 Chester Main Rd, N. Stonington, CT, for Barrels and Brushes, on Thursday, January 22, 2015, from 6:30 – 9pm for a night to remember. Bring your friends, and enjoy Jonathan Edwards wine, as you receive painting lessons from local art center, The Drunken Palette.

Jonathan Edwards is known for their delicious wines and unique events. Open year long, Jonathan Edwards hosts a variety of events. In addition to Barrels and Brushes, Jonathan Edwards hosts “Music Uncorked” sessions, a 5k obstacle race through the vineyard, an annual lobster bake, and their most popular event, the biannual Harvest Fest.

The cost for the event is $50 and includes a glass of wine of your choice, a painting lesson from local art center, The Drunken Palette, and all the materials you need

to create your own painting to take home.

“The last Barrels and Brushes event we had was a huge success,” says Danielle Brandts, Jonathan Edwards tasting room manager.

While some Jonathan Edwards events are all ages, this event is 21+. Tickets are available for purchase online at http://www.jedwardswinery.com/events/attend-an-event or by calling Jonathan Edwards Winery at 860-535-0202.

While you do not know exactly what you will be painting until you arrive, you can expect your masterpiece to keep with the theme of wine.

“All the paintings are typically wine related” says Brandts, “which makes the event really fun. Even if you are a novice artist, painting wine while drinking wine, is a guaranteed good time.”
