Process & Profile
St. George Valley Gin is a vibrant craft spirit from St. George Spirits in Alameda, California, capturing the essence of a spring day in California’s Central Valley. Inspired by the lush citrus groves of Lindcove Ranch, a family-owned farm the distillery has cherished for years, this gin is crafted by Master Distiller Lance Winters. Starting with a non-GMO grain neutral spirit, the gin is infused with 25 botanical ingredients, led by fresh orange blossoms from Lindcove.

Distilled in a custom copper still, this gin is bottled at 45% ABV in a 750ml format, delivering a fragrant, elegant spirit that transports you to the groves.
