Join in for an afternoon of candle making with Richmond Botanicals Co at Killara Distillery, where scent, craft, and place come together.

Begin with a guided tasting experience, then move into the workshop where you'll create a medium candle using Richmond Botanicals Co's signature scents, poured into elegant vessels. Working within a curated fragrance range inspired by the Coal River Valley, you'll create something personal with a refined, professional finish.

They'll introduce the fundamentals of fragrance and guide you through blending and pouring. Along the way, you'll learn about working with 100% soy wax, correct pouring temperatures, fragrance balance, and wick selection.

Inspired by the Yule themes of community, rest and rebirth, create a candle with the team from Richmond Botanical Co. to burn on the Winter Solstice and celebrate the returning light after the longest night.

Optional Add Ons include:
Second candle for an additional $40
Cheese platter for an additional $30
Second candle and cheese platter for an additional $60
