A bright event you won’t want to miss! This informative class will take you through the steps of hand poured candles.
Participants of this experience will take home (2) 9oz, candles that they have hand poured and crafted themselves. There will be multiple scent options to choose from and you’ll have the ability to make a truly unique, signature product. Gift one, keep one, keep them both, we don’t judge.
The wax used is 100% soy and local with a variety of scent options. There will also be raffles and door prizes throughout the event!
This candle making experience is $50 per person and includes all supplies. To reserve your spot, please call Arielle at 618-786-2331, extension 338. Please note, seating is limited as we can only take 20 guests. *Candles take 1 hour to set after being created. During this waiting period, you can grab a drink in our Winery, grab a bite to eat in our Dining Room, take a hike on one of our multiple trails or simply hang by the fireplace in our Great Room.
