STYLISH | AFFORDABLE | QUALITY
Hi, and welcome to Mt. Eliza Candle Works! We are a small boutique family business based on the Beautiful Mornington Peninsula. We are so fortunate to be in such a lovely part of the world and all of our products are made with love while overlooking bay views. Our candles and melts are all handmade using natural, professional grade soy wax which is highly fragranced, creating a lasting scent to perfume your home and create a warm and welcoming environment. You can expect only the highest quality product and attention to detail when you purchase from us. We are proudly licensed ‘Australian Made’. We hope that you enjoy your candle as much as we have enjoyed making it for you.
OLD VINE CANDLES
Glass is one of the longest-lasting man-made materials. It is estimated that it takes 1 million years for a glass bottle to decompose in the environment! While recycling is great, unfortunately not all the glass in your recycling bin will actually be recycled leaving us with the shocking fact that there are hundreds of thousands of tonnes of glass sitting in stockpiles or being sent to landfill!
Reusing or repurposing glass is far less energy intensive than putting it through the recycling process and it also eliminates any risk of the product ending up in landfill. The wine bottles that we use to create our candles in are all collected from around the Mornington Peninsula, they are then, by hand, cut and edges carefully sanded, before being cleaned and filled for you. Because each wine bottle collected is unique, you may find each candle has slight variances due to its shape or colour, we just think this adds to the charm of your candle.
We often get asked, “so what does wine smell like in a candle?” The easiest way to answer this is the next time you pick up your favourite bottle have a look at its back label or are in a wineary, bar or restaurant, take a look at their wine lists. Read the descriptions, and then this is where the inspiration for our candle scents come from.
