About Bastian Candle Works

Bastian Candle Works was born in 2020 out of a simple desire to create a meaningful wedding favor. That spark grew into a passion when we revisited the candle-making tradition Ryan’s parents-Bob and Jolene, began in 2003 with NW Driftless Candles. Their dedication to clean, hand-poured soy candles continue to shape every decision we make while carrying their legacy forward. 

As we look ahead, we’re excited for the next chapter of Bastian Candle Works—growing our offerings, expanding our reach, and continuing to create candles that bring comfort, nostalgia, and light to homes near and far. We remain rooted in the Driftless area, but our vision stretches into the future: new scents, new collaborations, and new ways to share this family tradition with the world.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for supporting our small business and walking with us into this next chapter.

With Love, 

Peggy & Ryan
