8 Creative Nashville Date Ideas


Hand Pour a Candle

Pick a vessel, find a fragrance, place your wick, and pour the wax at Paddywax Candle Bar, located in Berry Hill and the Gulch. This hand-pouring candle experience is offered Tuesday through Sunday at the Berry Hill location and daily at the Gulch location. Reservations are required for both locations. There is a full bar at the Berry Hill location but the Gulch location is BYOB (a fee of $8 will be charged per 6-pack or bottle of wine—seltzers, beer, and wine only). Your candle will dry within a couple of hours, which you can pick up or have shipped. The cost is $45 per person.
