At Schram Vineyards in Waconia, Minnesota, an evening candle-making session at TS Home Studio turns simple craft into a convivial, sensory-driven small event. Located at Schram Vineyards 8785 Airport Rd., Waconia, this Holiday Candle Making Experience gathers up to 30 guests for about three hours of fragrance blending, pouring, and casual tasting.
Guided by a scent consultant, participants choose from a library of more than fifty premium fragrance oils to design a signature scent. Each guest pours a 14-ounce soy candle with a crackling wood wick; for a holiday twist there’s an optional 20-ounce green Christmas-Tree vessel upgrade for ten dollars. The process is station-style: you blend, pour, and let the candle cool while you sip wine or a mocktail from the tasting room. Candles require roughly 1½ to 2 hours to cool before transport, so plan to leave them behind to finish if you want a polished jar to take home the same night.
What sets this experience apart is the setting and the materials. The event lives inside a working vineyard where long rows of vines and the open Minnesota sky frame the tasting room, and the workshop uses 100% natural soy wax and a wooden wick for that warm crackle that reads like a fond memory. The scent library leans seasonal—forest pine, spiced orange, warm vanilla—and the combination of craft, aroma, and a glass of wine creates a grounded, celebratory atmosphere that suits both beginners and experienced makers.
Practical notes: the event runs about three hours, is standing and station-based, and beverages are available for purchase but aren’t included in the ticket. Space is limited, so book early through the provided referral link. The address on event materials is exact: Schram Vineyards 8785 Airport Rd., Waconia. The capacity limit and cooling window make this a social workshop rather than a take-and-go craft.
Why go? If you’re visiting Waconia and want a low-key, hands-on night that pairs local wine culture with a tactile craft, this experience does both. It’s an ideal prelude to holiday shopping—a way to design a personal gift while enjoying the ambient hum of a vineyard tasting room. For travelers seeking a short, creative local activity that’s equal parts practical and memorable, the TS Home Studio candle class at Schram Vineyards is an easy win.
Bring an openness to experiment: fragrance blending rewards patience and small additions. If you're booking as a group, coordinate arrival times so everyone cycles through stations together. Because candles need a cooling window, budget time at the vineyard after the pour—grab a drink, stroll the grounds, or sit in the tasting room and let the wax set. Tickets move fast during the holidays; reserve early to secure your date today.
