An evening candle-making workshop at Delia's Mexican Grill & Bar (209 Broadway St S, Jordan, MN 55352, USA) and occasional sessions at Schram Vineyards 8785 Airport Rd., Waconia, offers a hands-on creative night out for anyone who likes craft, scent, and a low-key social scene. TS Home Studio leads the class, where you'll blend from more than fifty fragrance oils and pour a 14oz wood-wick candle made of 100% natural soy wax. The setup is station-based and designed for guests to move through scent stations, guided by a Scent Consultant, while the finished candle cools and sets.
The experience runs about three hours, starts at 5:30 PM, and is limited to thirty participants—small enough to get help but big enough to feel lively. Key features include the crackling wood wick, a choice among 50+ premium oils, and the ability to customize scent strength and top-to-base notes. Candles take roughly 1.5–2 hours to set, so plan to relax with a cocktail or margarita while you wait; beverages are not included but are available to purchase. The event is standing and station-based, so expect to move between scent, blending, and pouring stations.
For travelers staying in or near Jordan, Minnesota, this is a distinctive evening alternative to the usual dinner-and-a-movie routine. Delia's Mexican Grill & Bar is in Jordan’s compact downtown, an easy walk from local lodging; Schram Vineyards in Waconia is an occasional host for the same format, pairing vineyard views with the craft. The workshop sits comfortably within the region's growing food-and-drink scene and offers a more tactile keepsake than a souvenir T‑shirt.
What makes this offering special is the marriage of craft and conviviality: a professional scent guide, high-quality ingredients, and a social venue where you can sip, chat, and learn. The wood-wick provides a smoker-free burn and a gentle crackle, while soy wax is cleaner-burning and often preferred for indoor air quality.
Practical notes: wear closed-toe shoes and clothes you don't mind getting a little wax on; bring ID if you plan to buy alcohol; allow time for the candle to fully cool before taking it home. Whether you are gift-making, learning a new hobby, or just looking for a memorable night out, this candle-making session turns scent into a small, transportable memory tied to Jordan and the wider Carver County scene.
Reserve your spot in advance—capacity is limited—and arrive fifteen minutes early to check in and learn the station order. Parking is available nearby on downtown streets in Jordan; Schram Vineyards offers on-site parking when sessions are hosted there. This is a friendly, beginner-friendly class: no prior experience required, and the Scent Consultant helps you troubleshoot blends and pouring technique so your candle looks great and lasts beautifully.
