Our Team

Peter is the man behind award-winning Victoria Gin. He has been our Master Distiller since 2008 and now also focuses on distribution in his role as President. His background is in molecular biology and genetics, with a healthy dose of bartending, international development work, and photography. Like those photos on our Instagram? They’re probably his.  Peter’s favourite cocktail is the DV 15.

Phil has been making Victoria Gin with the distillery since 2010. Before his foray into the world of premium spirits, Phil worked as a cook and chef for over two decades. His culinary background is accompanied by a refined palate – ever an asset to the team.  When not at work, find him watching hockey and sipping an Oaken Martinez.

Along his circuitous path from the Rockies to the Kootenays, the Thompson Okanagan, Vancouver, and Whistler, Dave has amassed a wealth of experience in tourism and hospitality. He spent years as a bartending, honing his mixology skills and love of fine spirits. New to distilling, he’s thrilled to be learning from a talented and passionate team.  The Negroni is Dave’s preferred night cap.
