Tampa Paint and Wine - Vampire's Kiss

Wine and Canvas are hosting a paint and wine night at Dracula's Legacy Wine Bar & Bistro on Tuesday, November 3, with everyone painting Vampire's Kiss. The session runs from 6 PM to 8 PM, and the doors open at 5:45 PM, so you've got a few minutes to settle in before the painting starts.

If you've never done a Wine and Canvas class, the format is pretty straightforward: two hours of step-by-step instruction from an expert who walks you through the painting one stroke at a time. They provide all the supplies—canvas, paint, brushes—so you just show up and start. You'll be working on Vampire's Kiss, and by the time the two hours are up, you'll have a finished piece to take home. It's open to all ages, so it works as a date or as something to do with a group of friends.

The venue is part of the draw here. Dracula's Legacy Wine Bar & Bistro is a family-owned spot in downtown Tampa that leans hard into its Romanian heritage. The décor is gothic, and they pour Romanian wine varieties, so the whole place fits the Vampire's Kiss theme. The bar partners with Wine and Canvas to open up their space, meaning you can keep your drink in hand while you paint. Drinks are available to buy throughout the night, and since it's a Tuesday, there's a ladies night discount of 20% off all drinks. There's also a 'per couple' ticket option alongside the standard per-person price, and parking is free. The bar is at 811 North Tampa Street, 33602.
