At Next Chapter Winery in New Prague, Minnesota, a weekend afternoon can become a creative ritual: a hands-on candle-making workshop held amid rows of vines and a low-slung tasting room at 16945 320th St, New Prague, MN 56071, USA. This experience combines craft, scent design, and a relaxed winery vibe—an ideal stop for couples, small groups, or anyone looking to bring a tangible memory home.
The Candle Making Experience invites participants to design and pour a 14oz soy candle, blending from more than 50 fragrance oils to compose a signature scent. Instructors guide the process from scent selection through wick placement and pouring, so no prior experience is needed. A glass of Next Chapter wine or a mocktail is included to sip while the wax sets, turning the class into a social creative hour that uses the winery grounds as both classroom and backdrop.
What makes this offering stand out in Minnesota’s outdoor-recreation map is the setting: an active winery operating within agricultural landscape rather than a sterile studio. The sensory loop of cool, clean air off the vines, the grassy slope of the vineyard rows, and the aroma bar of essential oils creates a layered experience that connects craft to place. For visitors exploring southern Minnesota’s rural escapes, the class is a short, restorative detour from bike routes, river paddles, or nearby state parks.
Practical details matter: expect roughly three hours from arrival to finished candle; materials, jars, and guidance are provided. The candle is a 14oz soy pour—big enough to last and to remind you of the afternoon. The workshop is beginner-friendly; it’s primarily a seated, low-impact activity with light standing for pouring and cleanup.
Why book it? Beyond the souvenir, this is a chance to slow down and make something with your hands in a setting that actively showcases local agricultural life. Next Chapter Winery’s program blends creative instruction with hospitality: a place where small-scale craft meets the rhythms of a working vineyard. Whether you’re planning a unique date, a private celebration, or a creative stop on a road trip through Minnesota, this workshop pairs well with a tasting flight and a walk through the vines afterward.
Bring curiosity, a camera for close-up scent shots, and a plan to linger—this is as much about scent memory as it is about craft. Reservations are required through the booking link; sessions typically run on weekends and fill quickly during warmer months, so reserve in advance. The setting at 16945 320th St offers easy parking and a short walk from the tasting room to the outdoor aroma bar. This class makes a thoughtful gift and an accessible creative detour from the usual outdoor itinerary. Plan to arrive 10–15 minutes early.
