At the Mike Barr Education Center on Wekiva Island in Longwood, Florida, Wine & Paint - December offers two hours of guided creativity led by local artist Elisabeth Ferber. This evening workshop pairs step-by-step painting instruction with two glasses of wine and an individual charcuterie board, making it a relaxed, social alternative to the usual night out. All painting supplies are provided; guests need only bring their enthusiasm and an ID proving they are 21 or older. The room itself is practical and accessible: the Mike Barr Education Center/Classroom at 1014 Miami Springs Dr provides wheelchair access and seating for groups up to twenty. The setting suits beginners and casual painters—Ferber’s guidance focuses on how to translate simple shapes, color choices, and brushwork into a finished piece that you can take home. The small class size encourages one-on-one attention without the pressure of a formal studio experience. Beyond the canvas, Wekiva Island is part of a broader river corridor known for its live oaks, palmettos, and stretches of riverfront that attract wading birds and turtles. That nearby natural character offers a quiet contrast to the social energy inside the classroom, and a short pre- or post-event stroll connects you to the Wekiva River vibe if you have time. The workshop itself provides a low-commitment way to sample local culture: a community art night that appeals to couples, friends, and colleagues celebrating an evening together. Practical details keep the evening straightforward. Check-in is at the Mike Barr Education Center when you arrive; the session lasts roughly two hours and accepts adults 21 and over. The event is wheelchair accessible and hosts up to twenty guests, so booking early secures your spot. Cancellations must be made within 24 hours of booking, so plan accordingly for changes. Why choose this class on a visit to Longwood? It’s a hands-on, social experience that combines local instruction with food and drink, ideal for people who want to try painting without committing to long-term classes. For visitors exploring the Wekiva area, it’s an easy indoor option on a rainy afternoon or a cozy evening activity after time outdoors. Whether you come to learn paint techniques, enjoy conversation over wine, or simply leave with a new piece of art, Wine & Paint - December turns a simple night out into a memorable local experience. Expect reachable instruction — Ferber breaks projects into manageable steps so first-timers finish a frame-ready canvas. The provided charcuterie adds a sociable touch, and the two glasses of wine make color choices feel more relaxed. Parking is available near the education center; aim to arrive fifteen minutes early to settle in, choose seat with view of demo, and relax before brushes hit canvas.
