Pinots Palette

Vintner Sponsor – Pinot’s Palette
We are pleased to announce that Pinot’s Palette has offered to be a Vintner Sponsor this year!

Pinot’s Palette, a national Paint and Sip franchise known for providing guests with an entertaining evening of art and wine, will open a studio in Valencia. Stephanie Sewell, a Santa Clarita resident and Kathy Guccione a Los Angeles area native, will open the new location at Granary Square this fall. The Pinot’s Palette mission is to bring fine art to the masses in a fun way.  Guests sign up online to attend a two-hour or three-hour painting class where they are instructed by a local, trained artist on how to recreate the featured painting of the night.  Pinot’s Palette provides art supplies, while guests enjoy their favorite wine or beer. Pinot’s Palette Valencia will have access to extensive painting libraries of artwork tested for all skill levels, as well as the ability to create unique paintings to respond to guests’ taste in artwork and local trends.

 

“We can’t wait for Valencia to ‘Paint.Drink.Have Fun.’ – our motto!”

 

Fahr West

Band Sponsor – fahr.west
 

In late 2009, singer/songwriter and guitarist, Tom Lamog met up with local guitarist/vocalist and songwriter, David Fry at a Newhall musicians’ event. After a few jam sessions, they discovered common ground with each other’s styles of music. Together they would go on to form The fahr.west Sessions, performing original and popular country rock, and rock and roll tunes, while adding a unique musical imprint from their own lifetime of personal experiences.

 

Today, the band’s core lineup includes Tom on vocals/guitars and mandolin, David on guitars/vocals, violin/mandolin player Arden Acord, drummer/vocalist Mark Davis, bass guitarist Phil Sykes, and Trout Davis on slide guitar/harmonicas and vocals.
