Candle Making Experience

Tuesday August 26th

Join TS Home Studio for an unforgettable Candle Making Experience at the beautiful Next Chapter Winery. With expert guidance from our Scent Consultant, you’ll blend your own unique fragrance from over 50 options before being led step-by-step through the candle-making process.

This interactive class is designed for everyone—no prior experience needed! Relax and enjoy the cozy ambiance of the winery as your candle cools, with a glass of wine or a handcrafted mocktail. Your experience includes: * 1 custom 14oz candle featuring a wood wick and 100% natural soy wax * Access to 50+ fragrance oils to craft your perfect scent, including some fall exclusives!  Class Time: 5 PM  Seats are limited to 30 participants—reserve yours today!  Notes: * This is a standing, station-based experience rather than a seated class. You'll move through different stations as you blend your fragrance and pour your candle. * Candles take about 2 hours to set before they’re ready to take home. Come for the candles, stay for the wine—it’s the perfect pairing for a creative and relaxing evening. We can’t wait to create with you!
