Galentine's Candle Pour at Sevenmile Winery: Wine, BBQ & DIY Candles in Middletown

Sevenmile Winery in Middletown, Ohio hosts a Galentine's Night Candle Pour Pop Up that converts a winter evening into a relaxed, creative social ritual. Located at 3526 Somerville Jacksonburg Rd. Middletown, Ohio 45042, the event combines a winery setting, hands-on instruction, and casual food and drink for an intimate night out. Petals & Wicks leads a guided pour where each participant crafts a personalized 9 oz candle, selecting from three Galentine-inspired scent blends and designing a custom side label while staff answer questions and offer tips on fragrance load and wick placement. The venue sits amid the low rolling farmland and vineyard rows common to this part of Butler County; views through the tasting room windows favor weathered barns and open sky rather than urban rooftops. Key features of the evening include the guided pour station, the scent bar with exclusive blends, a label-design table for personalization, and an outdoor BBQ truck for easy food options. Wine is available for purchase from the winery, lending a tasting-room atmosphere to the creative activity. Because there are only thirty spots, the evening feels like a small workshop rather than a crowded festival. Practical notes matter: candles require roughly two hours to solidify, so arriving and pouring earlier in the session increases the chance you can take your finished piece home before the event ends. Advance tickets are recommended to secure one of the limited spots. The experience is friendly for couples, groups of friends, and solo visitors who want to meet new people; it does not require craft experience and is accessible to most adults. Why this pop-up stands out locally is simple. It pairs an easy, tactile craft with the conviviality of a winery setting, turning a standard tasting room into a creative studio for a single evening. The combination of exclusive scent blends, the chance to personalize a take-home object, and the presence of food and beverage service makes this a flexible gift or group outing that showcases how small regional wineries can host events that feel both cultivated and convivial. Bring photo-ready outfits if you want pictures for social feeds, and plan to bring ID if you intend to buy wine. Expect friendly instruction, the smell of warm wax and curated scents, and an evening that rewards low-key creativity and good company in a distinctly Ohio countryside setting. Check-in takes place at the winery tasting room; arrive 30 minutes early to choose a scent and secure your workspace. Petals & Wicks instructors walk you through safety around hot wax, wick trimming, curing times, and ideal burn practices so your candle performs well at home. The event suits first-timers and repeat makers.
