Schram Vineyards sits just off Airport Road in Waconia, Minnesota, where rows of vines meet open sky. The Candle Making Experience at Schram Vineyards brings TS Home Studio’s hands-on workshop into this inviting winery setting on Thursday, October 22nd at 5:30 PM. In a single relaxed evening you’ll blend from more than fifty premium fragrance oils and pour a 14oz wood-wick soy candle, then settle in to let it cool while enjoying wine or mocktails. This is not a passive demonstration. A Scent Consultant guides you through scent families, concentration, and pairings so your finished candle reads like a signature scent for your home. The 14oz wood-wick vessel delivers a steady, audible crackle that enhances a fall evening; for a seasonal flourish you can upgrade to a limited-edition 20oz orange pumpkin vessel for just $10. Candles require approximately 1½–2 hours to cool, and the experience is organized in a standing, station-style flow that keeps the evening social and hands-on. What makes this offering special for visitors is the way a creative workshop sits inside a living agricultural landscape. Schram Vineyards 8785 Airport Rd, Waconia, MN 55387, USA provides an outdoor-adjacent backdrop: grape rows, a tasting room atmosphere, and easy access from the town of Waconia. That combination—vineyard hospitality and a craft studio—creates an easy, low-effort night out for couples, friend groups, or individuals looking for a creative souvenir beyond a standard tasting. Practical details matter. Capacity is limited to 30 guests, so bookings fill quickly. The event is appropriate for adults; beverages are available for purchase but not included in the ticket. Expect to move through stations, blend scents, measure and pour wax, and label your finished vessel before the cooling period. Transportability matters: plan to return to the winery later if you want your candle fully chilled before taking it on the road. For visitors who love local makers, the evening is a window into Minnesota’s emerging wine and craft scene. You leave with more than a candle: you take home a custom scent memory that recalls a specific autumn night at the vineyard. Whether you’re pairing candlelight with a flight of wines or gifting the finished piece, this workshop is a concise, tactile way to make a memory at Schram Vineyards. If you plan to come with friends, reserve early; the workshop caps at 30 people and typically fills as the season cools. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a small tote or box to protect your finished candle for the trip home. The station-style format is social and tactile but not strenuous—no prior craft experience required. For a memorable fall evening, pair your session with a tasting before or after and make an evening of it in Waconia.
