Long Table Distillery

What Long Table Distillery does

Long Table Distillery is a family-owned craft distillery founded in February 2013 in Vancouver, British Columbia, by a husband-and-wife team originally from the United Kingdom. It operates as Vancouver's first micro-distillery, producing small-batch spirits on a custom-built 300-litre Christian Carl copper-pot still using 100% Canadian grain-based alcohol, locally foraged West Coast botanicals, and organic/natural ingredients. The product portfolio comprises three gins (London Dry Gin, Cucumber Gin, Barrel-Aged Gin aged in 30-litre bourbon barrels), Texada Vodka, and Långbord Akvavit, with a Liqueur category newly indicated in the storefront navigation.

The company's business model is a multi-channel direct-to-consumer and wholesale hybrid. Revenue is generated through (i) on-site retail sales at the 1451 Hornby Street distillery, cocktail lounge, and seasonal patio; (ii) e-commerce via a Shopify storefront operating 24/7; (iii) wholesale distribution across BC Liquor Stores, private retailers in BC/Alberta/Manitoba/Ontario, Duty Free Vancouver Airport, and on-trade placements in Vancouver restaurants and bars; (iv) online sales in the United Kingdom; and (v) paid on-site experiences including Cocktail Making Classes ($68/person), Make-Your-Own Cocktail High Tea ($65/person), and a Sushi + Cocktail Making Class ($65/person) co-developed with Pine Sushi. Spirits are priced at $35 per 750ml bottle, gift cards are offered in multiple denominations, and branded merchandise (apparel, hats, bar tools) is sold through both retail and e-commerce channels.

Customer acquisition relies on a combination of in-distillery experiences, organic social media across Facebook, Twitter/X, Pinterest, Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn, an email newsletter with a 10% first-order incentive, and earned media coverage in publications including enRoute, National Post, Georgia Straight, Western Living, and BC Living. The LT REWARDS loyalty program supports repeat online purchase behavior. Long Table has accumulated five consecutive Georgia Straight Best Local Distillery awards (2017-2021), a BC Food and Beverage Award (2021), and multiple gold/silver awards for the Cucumber Gin, but discloses no revenue, headcount, funding, or M&A activity.
