A PLACE WORTH KNOWING
A little bottle of the bay to take home
Torbay Gin’s Stable Yard shop stocks its coastal-inspired gins, including a blue signature gin that changes colour with tonic.
Cockington’s gin shop is an easy little detour for a locally made present. The signature Torbay Gin is coloured blue by butterfly-pea flowers and turns pink when tonic is added. Other bottles explore flavours including blood orange, raspberry and sea buckthorn, while Matobo was developed with Paignton Zoo. The shop moved from Sea Change to the Stable Yard in 2023, so use the current address when following older guides.
