Our Story

An artisanal Portuguese gin inspired by the heart of Montalegre and with its spirit rooted in the lands of Gerês—this is how the idea for Safe Place Gin was born. We are Ana Barros and Luciano Silva, and we carry the essence of Northern Portugal with us. Safe Place Gin began as a dream shared one evening, where nostalgia for home merged with the desire to create something unique.

Our mission is more than just producing gin. It is about creating an experience that brings people, memories, and flavors together. Every bottle of our gin is a celebration of our land, its traditions, and the nature that surrounds us. With Safe Place Gin, we want every sip to transport you to the comfort and serenity of the mountains and valleys of Northern Portugal.

Committed to quality and authenticity, we use only the finest ingredients. Every element of our gin is carefully chosen, from orris root to fresh lemon, ensuring that every bottle reflects the flavor and spirit of our region. The process is artisanal, respecting traditional methods that guarantee an exceptional final product.
