FAQs

How does the process work?

First, choose your vessel from our numerous options. We're always adding new colors and sizes.

Second, explore our scent library of 50+ scents! You'll pick 3-5 of your very favorites.

Finally, our staff will help you create the perfect combination and you'll pour your candle!

Can I take my candle with me when I'm done?

Our candles will take 1.5-2 hours to set before they can be taken out of the store, and a full 24 hours before you can burn your candle (the longer the better!). There are so many fun shops on Main Street, you'll have plenty to do while your candles sets.

Can I bring food or drinks?

Yes! Feel free to bring snacks, and you can BYOB for your Pour Bar! Stop by Della Viti before your Pour Bar appointment and get 10% off a bottle of wine!

How many people can you accommodate?

We have room for 12 seats at the Pour Bar. However, if your party is larger, we can do a split session, where one group pours and the other shops, then they swap!

Do you do evening or private events?

It depend on the schedules of our staff, so feel free to give us a call or reach out via the contact us form. For an after hours event, there is a $100 reservation fee, plus the cost of the Pour Bar.

How long can we stay?

Our Pour Bars are scheduled by the hour. If you would like to take longer than an hour, we require a $100 reservation fee.

We need to be able to keep things moving at the Pour Bar. After the Pour Bar is finished, our staff will clean up the bar and get your candles ready for you. During in store hours, feel free to shop around, however, for after hours events, we will need to close the shop after your allotted hour of time.
