Where to Find Autumn Laurel in 2026
Autumn Laurel is rooted in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Southwest Virginia, where our small-batch candles are inspired by Appalachian landscapes and mountain craft traditions. Throughout the year we travel across the Appalachian Highlands, Virginia, and West Virginia sharing our handcrafted collections at heritage festivals, artisan markets, and seasonal gatherings.
From the ridgelines of the Blue Ridge to the historic towns of Tidewater Virginia, each event offers an opportunity to experience our candles in person, meet the maker, and discover scents inspired by the landscapes, gardens, and traditions that shape life across the region.
