The
Cabernet Candle Journey
A chandler believed every individual should have the safe space and opportunity to express their creative side. Born from a desire to provide such a unique space for those whose creativity and need for human interaction were being overshadowed and stifled by quarantine lockdowns, started the beginning of Cabernet Candles.
​
Launched in September of 2020, Cabernet Candles was established as an alternative to provide new and soon-to-be brides with the opportunity to celebrate with small intimate gatherings for their bridal parties. Hosting in-home bridal showers and birthday events afforded the opportunity for a worry-free and safe affair, unrestricted from the chaos of the surrounding events, where creativity was encouraged in addition to social distancing.
From hosting Delaware’s first candle-making and wine tasting event in October of 2020, then branching out to candle-making and wine tasting events at a plethora of surrounding wineries. Cabernet Candles has hosted at a multitude of businesses, including the prestigious Winterthur Museum, as well as accommodated non-profit events at community organizations such as Shepherd Place homeless shelter for women and children.
