Not Just A Grower, a Lifestyle

A Geographic Hub

Before the establishment of the Northern California wine ecosystem, American wines were nowhere to be found. After a decisive effort to build the authoritative foundations of Napa Valley, French and Italian wines are making room in the cellars of connaisseurs.

The Connoisseur Influence Effect

This did not happen overnight. Instead this was a multi-layered approach which included an increase in quality and offering, but especially the lobbying of consumer demands through referral advertising. The experience tourism industry brought an inflow of travellers which returned with stories of delicious wines and elevating sceneries.

The Landscape

Leveraging the authoritative start system of a hub

  • Wall Street, Silicon Valley and Napa County are the primordial examples of a geographic authority that is a magnet for celebrities
  • The trickle down down effect of these brands are felt nationwide

Tourism is overlooked while the rush is to:

  • Build the biggest facilities possible
  • Supply picks and shovels to the growers

Advertising is prohibited

  • In the same manner as alcohol and tobacco, it is strictly prohibited to directly advertise consumers
  • This will make it difficult for an LP to leverage a national brand throughout the supply chain

A patchwork of Laws

  • Each province, country and state has its own laws and regulatory bodies overlooking the production, advertising and resell
  • Governments are all too often the direct wholesalers to dispensaries

influencer marketing funnel of experience travel.

Market Data

Cannabis Is set to hit $75 billion globally

  • Conservative numbers from multiple analyst groups range between 50-75 billion USD before 2030
  • Canada alone is expecting 30 billion CDN before 2020

There are currently no cannabis centric areas

  • Canopy has acquired property in Newfoundland for this precise vertical, so the race is on
  • Vancouver Island has the ideal year-round weather, scenery and local community to support the concept

The Region

Vancouver Island

The southern part of Vancouver Island is the only part of British Columbia or Western Canada to lie south of the 49th Parallel, along with most of the southern Gulf Islands and minor offshore islands. This area has one of the warmest climates in Canada, and since the mid-1990s has been mild enough in a few areas to grow subtropical Mediterranean crops such as olives and lemons

Vancouver and Whistler

Whistler is a town north of Vancouver, British Columbia, that's home to Whistler Blackcomb, one of the largest ski resorts in North America
