About Us

“What really drives us is a passion for wine culture, craftsmanship, and creating something that sparks fun conversations.”

From Mikayla Carter, Co-Owner

Some of my favorite memories growing up were weekend trips to Napa Valley with my family. Long before I was old enough to appreciate the wine, I fell in love with the places, people, and stories behind it.

My mom, Bern, has always been a DIY queen. She’s the kind of person who sees something beautiful and says, “We can make that,” and. did. I learned that with creativity, patience, and attention to detail, almost anything can be made by hand.

We both love wine and making beautiful things, so this just clicked.

Today, we work side by side, transforming bottles into something people can enjoy long after the last sip. We're proud to be a local, family-owned business serving Northern California businesses we know and love. Being nearby allows us to build real relationships and provide thoughtful, hands-on service.

We’re also passionate about helping this industry grow. Every bottle already tells the story of your business and we simply help that story continue. Our candles become reminders of meaningful experiences and gentle invitations to return.

With backgrounds in business relations and economic development, we bring both precision and passion to our work. We’re proud to offer something unique, sustainable, and aligned with the businesses we serve.

  • Once we receive your empty wine bottles, the transformation begins.

    1. Bottle Prep

    We carefully clean and disinfect every bottle while preserving the original label and design whenever possible. Then, we precisely cut and smooth the glass, ready to safely hold wax.

    2. Scent Formulation

    We customize.

    We start with your wine’s tasting notes. With over 50 premium fragrance oils to choose from, we hand-select scents that best match the notes of each wine. For example, a Syrah layered with blueberry, boysenberry, fig, plum, and spice might inspire a Blueberry & Fig scented candle.

    Or, we can blend traditional candle scents.

    3. Pour & Finish

    Each candle is poured using 100% soy wax and a thick cotton wick for a clean, even burn. We let them cure, inspect each one, and prepare for hand-delivery back to you!
