High Country Candles
Evan G.

High Country Candles on Main Street in Blowing Rock is the ultimate candle shop that has unique candles that smell really good. I really like all of the different varieties that they have available and they have some candles that I have never seen before. The staff here is very friendly and accommodating. I was happy with all of my purchases.

Cute little shop. There is a lot more than soap and candles! We stopped in to bring some soap back…read morehome with us on our way out. A lot of soaps, lotions, bath bombs and of course candles! They have honey, ice cream, taffy and a lot more! I left with some goodies- soaps and lotions.

My husband's aunt recommended we visit while we were in Roan Mountain so we had to stop by with all…read morethe kids. Unfortunately we didn't know when candle making classes were but the owners were able to do a special class for us since we had 6 girls hoping to make candles. They told them about the history of Banner Ell which I found interesting (the kids didn't remember all of it) and some of the names of the scents. All of the ingredients (soy based wax and scents) were all natural and didn't bother my allergies or nose so that was a huge bonus. All the girls had fun, my youngest was SO excited they had an elephant vessel she could use to make a candle! We would definitely recommend stopping by to visit when you're in the area. Everyone was super nice and all the girls from ages 7-17 had fun! (Adults could also join in if they wanted of course, but we sat back and let the girls do it this time, FYI the prices seemed to range from $38-45 per person for the candles they made which included the class.) You do have to wait 2-3 hours for them to cool and set before you can take them home. I think the regular classes are Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 11am so you can sign up (call or sign up online I believe), come make your candles and then go grab a leisurely lunch or go shopping and come back to pick them up. We can't wait to burn our candles!

VIKING CANDLES! I…read morereally enjoyed meeting and talking with Kellie at a recent festival where she was showing her candles. Her candles are hand-poured, made from soy and have wicks that are made from organic cotton or wood. They come in various sizes and can burn from 20 hours to 100 hours depending on size. They actually smell wonderful! ***Several years ago I purchased candles that matched the decor in several rooms in my home. I decided that these candles would be for display only and would not be lit. My family thought this was hilarious and actually razzed me about it endlessly. However, it was the greatest decision I could have made because the specific size I need is no longer being manufactured because they are now either too short or too narrow and will not fit in my holders. The moral of the story is this: If you find candles that are the perfect size and color, you will want to get them and preserve them because once they are gone, they are often no longer manufactured and that's a problem. When I find a scented candle that I really love, I purchase the large jar with a cover so that it can be kept clean and because I like using the top to snuff out the candle. If you actually blow the candle, you get that burnt smoky smell that taints that wonderful candle scent. If you love quality candles, with wonderful scents check out the Viking collection!
