The Shepparton branch of Pinot & Picasso has hung up its apron and finished its last sip of wine.
After a year and a half of operation, the branch has had to close with its final painting session being held on Friday, June 28.
Pinot & Picasso Shepparton branch manager Nicole Dixon said that it was a good way to finish at their Maude St location.
“It went quite well, it was nice for everyone to celebrate together,” she said.
Ms Dixon said the business’s reason for closure was one of finances.
“Due to our economic climate it would be great if people could support things like that (Pinot & Picasso) but people just don’t have the funds,” she said.
While it was running, the business was enjoyed by both staff and patrons alike, Ms Dixon said.
“The staff loved it, especially meeting lots of different people in the area through the sessions,” she said.
“I just want to say thanks for supporting us throughout the year.
“We are hoping that we can do something later down the track, like pop-ups.”
Pinot & Picasso still has two running studios. One is located in Bendigo and the other in Wagga Wagga.
