Paddywax Candle Bar to Open in Reston Town Center Next Month

Paddywax Candle Bar, a shop that allows customers to hand-pour candles they create, is opening its first Virginia location in Reston Town Center next month.

The business, which is marketed as an “experiential retail shop,” has seven other locations in the country.

Customers chose a vessel during each one-hour candle pouring session, as well as a fragrance. Workshop participants are then guided through the process of making their own candle by placing the wicks, mixing the fragrance and pouring the wax. 

The candle bar also includes beer and wine available for purchase.

It takes over space previously occupied by  The Tasting Room Wine Bar and Shop, which closed in February.
