Hand-Poured Candles, Delivered to Alexandria
Soy-blend candles poured by hand inside the historic Hotel Gunter, shipped from Main Street in Frostburg, Maryland to Alexandria, VA.
From Frostburg, Maryland, hand-poured soy-blend candles reach Alexandria, Virginia homes in two to three days by USPS. Alexandria hardly needs instruction in atmosphere. Old Town has been setting a table since the 1700s — cobblestones on Prince Street, King Street sloping down to the Potomac, brick that holds the day's heat well into a cicada evening. Del Ray keeps its bungalow porches and farmers-market mornings; Rosemont keeps its shade trees and its quiet. The light here is river light, soft with Potomac haze in July, long and low across the rooftops in January. Homes live vertically and historically: eighteenth-century rowhouses with fireplaces that predate the republic, garden apartments off Duke Street where one candle sets the tone for the whole floor plan. Ours would like to apply for the job — soy blend, hand-poured at our candle bar, $17 each, six house scents. Sip. Pour. Create. Relax. Or, in your case: order, give the Postal Service its two or three days, strike a match.
The pours we'd pick for Alexandria
Pour House · House Signature — Bourbon, oak, and smoke belongs in a town that has been serving drinks by candlelight since the 1700s. It sits particularly well in an Old Town rowhouse with the original floors.
Fresh Linen — Cotton and green, made for Del Ray porch season — screen door open, market flowers on the table, nothing in a hurry.
Caramel — Burnt sugar and vanilla for a Potomac winter, when King Street empties early and the fireplace handles the entertaining.
Every house scent is $17, hand-poured in small batches. The shop carries all six, plus flights and full pours, and the full collection runs to 668 candles, wax melts, room sprays, and gifts. Can’t pick? Gift cards arrive by email within the hour.
Worth the drive from Alexandria
Alexandria to Frostburg is about two and a half hours — west on the interstate until the mountains start meaning it. At the end of the drive is the candle bar itself: a seat at the bar inside the historic Hotel Gunter (est. 1897), a craft cocktail in one hand, your own candle taking shape in the other. Pour The Flight, three pours for $51, or commit to The Full Pour, six for $102, and drive home with the car smelling like your decisions. Doors open July 17, 2026. Sip. Pour. Create. Relax.
Alexandria asks, we answer
How long does shipping to Alexandria take?
2 to 3 days by USPS — often on the quicker end, since Frostburg, Maryland is only about two and a half hours west of Alexandria. Orders are boxed on Main Street and ride straight down the East Coast window.
Where are the candles poured?
At The Pour House Candle Bar & Lounge, inside the historic Hotel Gunter (est. 1897) at 11 W. Main St. in Frostburg, Maryland. Every candle is a soy blend, hand-poured at the same bar where guests pour their own.
Can we book a private party at the candle bar?
Yes — private parties run 4 to 80 guests and are requested through the shop page at pourhousecandlebar.com. Once the team confirms your date, a $100 date hold applies toward the final bill. Alexandria is about two and a half hours from our door, which is a fair birthday-caravan distance.
