Meet the Maker

Hi, I'm Brigid, the founder of Cactus Vine Candles. My journey into the world of candle-making began while working in Arizona’s vibrant wine industry. Inspired by the beautiful bottles and unique charm of Arizona, I set out to create a line of luxury wine candles that capture the essence of the Southwest while promoting eco-friendly living. Each candle is hand-poured into a recycled bottle, blending my love for sustainability with a passion for quality. As a small, female-owned business, I’m dedicated to offering unique, handcrafted pieces that bring warmth and a touch of Arizona magic to your home.
