Long Table Distillery

Long Table Distillery is a family-owned and operated craft distillery in Vancouver, British Columbia. It opened in February 2013 in North False Creek, becoming Vancouver’s first distillery. The founders are husband-and-wife team Charles and Rita Tremewen.

The distillery focuses on small-batch production and traditional distillation, using its custom-built 300-litre copper pot still. Long Table says its spirits are made with 100% Canadian grain-based alcohol and a combination of organic, natural and locally foraged botanicals. The water used at the distillery comes from British Columbia’s Coast Mountain Range.

Gin was at the heart of Long Table from the beginning, and it remains a major part of the distillery’s range. Its portfolio includes London Dry Gin, Cucumber Gin, Barrel-Aged Gin, Texada Vodka, Långbord Akvavit and seasonal botanical spirits such as Limoncello, Curaçao, Amaro and Absinthe.

The name Long Table comes from the distillery’s large redwood table, which the company describes as the centrepiece of its social space. The idea behind the name reflects the tradition of gathering around a large table to eat, drink and share conversation.

Long Table Distillery is located at 1451 Hornby Street in Vancouver, where its production area is combined with a retail store and tasting lounge. Its spirits are sold through liquor retailers in British Columbia and other Canadian provinces, with the company also reporting distribution to the UK and Asia.
