Sketch & Sip at Paradise Springs Winery (Celebrating Ellen 🎉)

Join us for a relaxing Sketch & Sip meetup at Paradise Springs Winery — and help us celebrate Ellen’s retirement! 🎉

We’ll spend a peaceful morning sketching the winery’s scenic grounds and vineyards. It’s the perfect setting to slow down, be creative, and enjoy time with the community.

We’ll start together at 11:00 AM, then spread out to sketch whatever inspires us. Toward the end, we’ll regroup to share our drawings — always a fun and inspiring part of the meetup.

We’ll also take a moment to celebrate Ellen, who has hosted many of our past meetups and has been integral part of this community 💛
