Group at the Candle Mercantile

The Candle Mercantile
870 W. Main Street, Lake Geneva | (262) 203-5557 | Website

This is a different kind of bar! The candle bar is quite the unique experience where you can create a custom fragrance designed by you (or with the help of their scent experts) to create a soy candle, home diffuser, or body product. During this time you can enjoy a selection of wines, beers, seltzers, mimosas, soda, and snacks. After you have poured your candles or melts, you will be given a pick up time, about 90 minutes later, to come back for your custom scented wax products. From here, you can shop beautiful downtown Lake Geneva or grab a bite to eat at any of the local restaurants.
