Longevity Wines is a family-owned, urban winery and certified minority-owned business based in the Livermore Valley wine region of Northern California. Founders Debra and Phil Long opened Longevity in 2008 when their winemaking hobby outgrew their garage. By that time, they had spent years visiting tasting rooms and saw a need for inclusive wine experiences. Their love of warm, welcoming spaces is evident in the cozy, barn-themed tasting room they designed together.
Debra came up with "Longevity" as a play on their last name that also expressed their enduring love for each other, for wine, and for doing things together. Their Phil-osophy (pun intended) was to focus on the experience of enjoying quality wine: the food you have with it, the place you enjoy it, and the friends you share it with—the pairings that create lasting memories.
Phil designed the intricate heart logo that graces every Longevity bottle. If you look closely, you'll discover it is filled with smaller hearts, grapes, and twining vines. The logo was inspired by the artisan glass hearts Phil gave Debra every Valentine's Day. Her love of hearts became woven into their everyday life, and today the logo remains a lasting symbol of the love and partnership that inspired the winery from the very beginning.
In 2016, Debra was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and passed away in 2019. Just days before her passing, Longevity was named Livermore Valley's Winery of the Year—a recognition of the dream they built together. Her vision, warmth, and spirit continue to influence every bottle and every guest experience.

Today, Phil continues to lead Longevity alongside his son, Winemaker Phil Long Jr., producing approximately 2,500 cases of Longevity Vintner Select wines in Livermore Valley. A partnership with Bronco Wine Company, established in 2019, has expanded the reach of Longevity Classic California wines, bringing the Long family's vision to wine lovers across the United States and beyond.
As Longevity enters its next chapter, Phil is grateful to share both life and the winery with his partner, Elizabeth, whose love, encouragement, and hospitality have become an important part of the Longevity experience. While the winery will always honor the foundation Phil and Debra created together, Elizabeth shares Phil's passion for welcoming guests, building community, and ensuring that Longevity remains a place where great wine brings people together to create lasting memories.
More than a winery, Longevity continues to be a story of love, resilience, family, and the belief that the best moments in life are shared around a table with good food, good friends, and a great glass of wine.
Longevity is, and always has been, a celebration of love—in all the ways it grows, endures, and brings people together.
