“With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
— Matthew 19:26
This verse is the heartbeat behind everything we do here at Winegar's Kandle Co. It's a daily reminder that no dream is too big, no goal is out of reach, and that with faith anything is possible.
Hi, I'm Kurtis Winegar. I started Winegar's Kandle Co. completely on my own. From pouring the wax and designing labels to building this website and creating new scents, every product is handmade by me with attention to detail and real purpose behind it.
My family also owns Winegar's Coffee & Creamery, which has been part of Ellensburg for nearly 70 years. Growing up around a local family business inspired me to create something of my own that could bring people comfort, memories, and connection through scent and atmosphere.
The idea for this business started after a trip back to Wisconsin with my family. I realized people were spending $50–$60 on candles when I believed I could create something just as good, or even better, for a more honest and affordable price. That became the goal: luxury-feeling products without luxury pricing.
Every scent is created to tell a story or bring a feeling to life — made to fill your home, your car, or your space with something warm, relaxing, and inviting.
This business is about more than kandles
Faith is the biggest reason this business exists. After attending Young Life camp at Malibu Club, I found God in a way I never had before. That experience changed my life. Malibu is my second home — it's where I found the greatest people I've ever met, found Jesus, and learned to trust Him and let Him lead my life. If it wasn't for Young Life camp, I wouldn't have this business, and I don't know where I'd be today.
$2 from every purchase goes directly to Young Life, helping other students get the chance to go to camp and experience the same life-changing environment that impacted me so deeply. As this business grows, my hope is to keep increasing that giving and reach even more students who need it.
