Sip, Pour, & Glow: Candle Making + Wine Nights in Philly
Wine in one hand, creativity in the other—what could be better? Philadelphia is full of unique experiences, but there’s something extra special about combining candle making with wine sipping. It’s cozy, creative, and the perfect way to spend a night out with friends, a date, or even just treating yourself.
Here are a few spots in Philly where you can craft your own candles while enjoying a glass of wine:
Wax + Wine
Located right in Center City, Wax + Wine is one of Philly’s most popular BYOB candle-making spots. You’ll choose your scent, pour your own custom candle, and sip your favorite wine along the way. The vibe is chic yet relaxed—perfect for girls’ night or a creative date.
Glow & Sing: Candle Making + Karaoke Night in Ardmore
Picture this: the soft flicker of candlelight, a warm pour in your glass, and your favorite song echoing through the room. That’s exactly the kind of magical evening coming to Ardmore on October 3rd — and it’s the perfect inspiration for wine lovers who also crave creative, soulful experiences.
DIY Candle & Wine Nights (Pop-Ups)
Philly is known for its pop-up events, and candle-making classes often pair with wine tastings or BYOB vibes. Keep an eye on Eventbrite and local creative studios—you’ll often find one-night workshops that mix both passions into a fun evening out.
Paddywax Candle Bar (King of Prussia)
If you’re up for a short drive, Paddywax Candle Bar offers an elevated candle-making experience. The studio feels stylish and modern, and you can bring your own wine to sip while creating a custom candle to take home. A little getaway that’s worth it!
BYOB: Bring Your Own Bottle, Bring Your Own Vibe
One of the best parts about Philly’s candle-making experiences? They’re almost always BYOB. That means you get to bring your favorite bottle and make the night truly your own. Whether you’re a bold red drinker, a sparkling wine fan, or love a crisp white, the choice is all yours.
Tips for Planning Your BYOB Experience
Choose the mood: Pick a wine that matches the energy of the evening—something fun and easy-to-sip works best for karaoke nights, while a smooth red or rosé is perfect for cozy candle-making.
Pack smart: Don’t forget a corkscrew, cups, and maybe even a small cheese or snack pairing to elevate your night.
Think shareable: If you’re going with friends, bring a bottle (or two) that everyone can enjoy together.
Stay chill: If you’re carrying a white or sparkling, pop it in a small cooler bag to keep it crisp until you’re ready to pour.
BYOB isn’t just about saving a little money—it’s about curating your own vibe. You get to set the tone for the night, sip what you love, and make the experience personal from the first pour to the last flicker of candlelight.
