We had a wonderful candle-making session at Red Hill Candle Co! Ebony was incredibly attentive and guided us through the process of creating our own personalised scents. It was such an enjoyable and hands-on experience. The front gift shop is also a gem, filled with beautiful handmade products from other Australian businesses. A perfect spot for a creative outing or to pick up thoughtful gifts. Highly recommend!

Such a perfect experience at the Scent Library! We got to smell 45 different candles before choosing our own mix, Ebony was so friendly and explained everything that made the session easy and fun! It was so special to name our candles too! We will definitely be back! They also have the most gorgeous gift shop and partner with other local businesses for a great day out in Red Hill ❤️

I had the most wonderful time at the candle making workshop! From start to finish, it was a perfectly crafted experience. Jen was an amazing host—her bubbly personality made the atmosphere so welcoming and fun. She was incredibly knowledgeable about scents and really guided us through the process of creating beautifully blended candles. It was a hands-on, creative, and relaxing activity that I would highly recommend to anyone.

My friend and I did the workshop and it was so great! Jenn was a great instructor for the class and explained everything so clearly and it was easy to follow. The scents are amazing and I love the way my candles turned out. The gift shop is stunning and the whole factory smells beautiful. I highly recommend the class for friends or even couples wanting to try something a little bit different! Super easy to find as well. The packaging when we came back to collect it after it set (a couple of hours) was so cute and they labelled the candles really nicely. Definitely will come back again!

We’ve been buying Red Hill Candle Co candles for years now, and absolutely love them! Every scent smells great, I’ve never bought a candle I don’t like.
I also did the candle making experience for my sister’s baby shower. The team were incredibly helpful and the girls loved the experience. Would definitely recommend!

Did the candle making class with friends and loved it - so fun exploring the art behind the perfect blend of scents to create your very own soy candle. The scent library is so extensive with such interesting scents, the store filled with so many perfect cute gifts, the staff so warm and friendly, and all the candles so carefully curated I can’t wait to go back!

Our girls attended a candle making class for the school holidays at Red Hill Candle Co. Firstly what an absolutely stunning space. The products in the gift shop are beautiful, more than just candles. The workshop was enjoyed thoroughly by the girls, it too was a gorgeous set up, and loved the class, coming home with two candles. The staff were just lovely and incredibly accommodating when it came to us returning to pick up the girls finished products.

Came with my friend and I for a 90 minute workshop and it was the best! Ebony was great at making everyone feel welcome and at ease with making their candles! The candle workshop was very informative and fun! With so many scents to choose from, it was so hard to pick just one!! And getting to name your candles was truly the best! Thank-you for such a fun time Candle Co Team xx

The Red Hill Candle Co made a magical memory for my Mum and I today. Ebony and her team were so friendly and the experience was beautiful. We will treasure the candles we made not only because of how lovely they are but how much fun we had making them. Thank you Red Hill Candle Co.

Had the best time at Red Hill Candle Co. the candles we made are so beautiful and smells so yummy! They have very good products in the store too if you don’t want to make your own! Close to lots of amazing places to eat, we had our lunch at Red Gum BBQ - melts in the mouth honey glazed Lamb ribs! Went for a ride up the Eagle on Arthur’s Seat and the. Enjoyed the rest of the day with a short walk out to the Rock Pools in Bushrangers Bay!

We had a lovely time. The setting was lovely. Well organised, professional and very helpful. Would definitely recommend doing this with a few girlfriends for a great day out.
We were really happy with our candles that we made, and lots of options from the shop as well, all reasonably priced.

My mum organised for us to do the candle making workshop and it was such a fun and pleasant experience. Everything was just lovely, from being greeted at the door, to the complimentary drink, to how the table was set for everyone, to the helpful and friendly staff, to the lovely gift shop. I highly recommend this to anyone of all ages. It was a great experience and we love our candles!! Thank you Ebony for creating such a beautiful space for others to come and enjoy your craft!

We loved visiting the Red Hill Candle Co!
It was such a gorgeous shop and we loved getting the chance to make our own bespoke candles!
They had so many scents to choose from and the process was fun and easy. Eb & Mel we’re super helpful and lovely to have a chat with.
They offered a range of activities including make your own car diffuser, make your own candles and also an option for larger groups and parties with the inclusion of bubbles etc. (great for hens, birthdays)
Definitely one to visit if you’re in the Dromana area!

A beautiful family owned operation! Run don’t walk to Dromana.
Locally produced goods are sprinkled amongst the beautiful candles and sprays that RHCC, as well as the amazing mural painted by Stevie-Ray Winter.
The industrial estate is full of amazing other businesses so if you are down that way, pop in. Karen was a legend!

Ebony is a stunning human inside and out. Although it was incredibly busy today she was so patient with us and took the time to explain how to sample the fragrances and mix our very own little car fresheners. It was very difficult to not get one of everything so I'm very much so looking forward to going back and purchasing more. One thing I really want to sing is the quality of the fragrance oils she uses. They are very high quality and I imagine this will come across in the candle longevity and fragrance throw.

Ebony and Eloise were lovely - welcoming from the first moment (even had complimentary bubbles or juoce on arrival!), really knowledgeable and informative!
We were able to make two candles, with loads of different scents to choose from.
They also have a wonderful range of products to buy in their store.
I would highly recommend Red Hill Candle Co - especially their Candle Making workshop!

Came here for a candle making workshop and really enjoyed it. Professional and friendly hosts. Only feedback is that a few of us felt a bit rushed and would have liked more time to choose scent pairings and perfect it with the actual candle.

Hassle free transaction leads to a welcoming greeting at the front door. Complimentary drinks on arrival leads to a enjoyable fun and relaxing candle/s making finished with personalised touches to your handy work.
Friendly helpful staff.
Huge selection of scents and if you cannot see a scent don't hesitate to ask if they have it.
Christmas time allowed for additional Festive season scents????????
Fully stocked shop that also sells complimentary candle items as well as wares for other local businesses. Highly recommend this business for your next gift or experience for a gift.
Thank you Ebony, Eloise and ladies of Red Hill Candle C° for a memorable experience with my daughter for her birthday ????????????

Fantastic experience, that exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend the workshops, we did the 90 Minute Scent Lab for my 30th Birthday with 10 girlfriends. Lots of fun, lovely staff and great atmosphere! The collection turn around is insane, we collected 20 candles the next day with personalised labels.

This candle place is a gem. The staff are amazing. We were taught how to make our own candles by an awesome young lady Elouise. She was fantastic in helping my wife and I make our own candles. You need to book in, but it’s worth the trip.

Was here for a group candle making workshop and it was an incredibly soothing experience. My appreciation for candles has certainly improved having now some insight into the process of making these. Lovely workshop space and store below. Fantastic experience for events like a hen's or if you're just looking to do something crafty with your hands without requiring any experience so it's not intimidating for any groups. Everyone can try and have a good time plus you get to take home the candles as the best souvenir of the whole experience.

A phenomenal experience that we are definitely coming back!
We were welcomed with a glass of bubbles, and got to smell over 40 scents to create two candles of our own. The best part was that could name them! So of course we had fun with that!
Cannot wait to do it again!
