Delightful Bites: The Art of Cocktail Gummies from Belgium

When we set out to create Vesper Bites, we knew we wanted more than just a pretty package. We wanted flavor. Texture. Craft. Something that would feel elevated and fun at the same time. And that meant finding the right partner—one with a deep-rooted tradition in making candy that feels special.

Naturally, that brought us to Belgium.

Known globally for its fine chocolate, Belgium also has a rich, under-the-radar legacy in premium candy-making—particularly gummies. The country is home to some of the most respected, small-batch confectioners in Europe, where candy isn't just sweet—it's thoughtfully crafted.

After months of searching, tasting, and obsessing over details, we found exactly what we were looking for in a family-owned confectionery in Evergem, Belgium. Nestled just outside of Ghent, their team brings decades of experience in producing artisanal gummies using traditional European methods and modern flavor precision. We met with them in person, walked their production floor, and tasted dozens of batches until we landed on the perfect combination of flavor, texture, and quality.

Today, every Vesper Bites gummy—whether it’s a Cosmo Bear, Lemon Drop, or Paloma Heart—is made in Evergem with the same care and craftsmanship Belgium is known for. The result? A candy that’s more than a treat—it’s an experience. Bright, sophisticated flavors. Smooth, chewy texture. And just the right nod to your favorite cocktail, without the alcohol.

So the next time you bite into one of our gummies, know that behind the sweetness is a story of craft, travel, and a little Belgian magic.
