Kanayama Station is the second busiest station in Aichi Prefecture after Nagoya Station, the gateway to Nagoya, and is where major train lines, including the subway, intersect. In this article, we will introduce recommended spots around Kanayama Station, which is just one stop away from Nagoya Station, where HOTEL RESOL NAGOYA is located, in less than five minutes.

"ART & WINE BAR NAGOYA", the first of its kind in the Tokai area, is a new and creative spot where you can take painting and art making lessons while sipping wine. In Nagoya, a city where various cultures come and go, you can experience "Paint and Sip", a trendy style of art in the West. As the name "Paint + Sip" suggests, this is a lesson style where people have fun painting together with a drink in hand at a bar or restaurant after work or on the weekend. It is attracting attention as a spot where you can paint in a relaxed state while sipping wine.

Creativity and alcohol are part of everyday life overseas

Overseas, it is common to find places where people engage in creative activities while drinking alcohol. In recent years, places where people can enjoy art and creative activities have been gaining popularity in Japan, but the culture of engaging in creative activities while drinking alcohol has not yet taken root. The great appeal of drinking alcohol is that it relieves tension, creates a relaxed atmosphere, makes creative activities more enjoyable, and allows you to deepen your interactions with other participants. It is already popular in Tokyo and Osaka, and as it spreads further, it is attracting attention as a pioneering, advanced place in the Tokai region.

Time to relax and create while enjoying the aroma, taste and other senses

The wines served during creative activities are carefully selected to match the atmosphere of the painting. The wine pairing is done by a wine sommelier, who selects a wine from a wide lineup that matches the painting. They also carry high-end wines, which are popular among wine lovers. For example, in the case of Van Gogh's "Sunflowers," the wine pairing is "Luce della Vite Lucente," which has a strong, powerful presence and a spicy taste. This painting depicts not only gorgeousness, but also withered sunflowers, and the wine selection captures this delicate expression. It is a place of new experience where you can enjoy appreciating paintings with wine while immersing yourself in your own creation. This pairing of creative activities and wine is shaping a new culture as an artistic experience through the five senses.

What is important is the creation of space and time

Many of the painting instructors are also artists themselves and enjoy painting and art, so they are happy to enjoy the painting with you while you are working on it and after it is completed. The painting is completed in several steps, so you can work on it without hesitation, and even those who think they are not good at painting can enjoy it. Even though they are painting the same picture, each one has its own unique personality when completed, and it is a very enjoyable and enriching time to enjoy the completed paintings with the people in the same session while drinking wine. ART&WINE BAR NAGOYA is a place where you can experience art in a very familiar way, enjoying the work you have created and sharing the same time with people who happen to be there.
