New Era in Gin
Welcome to Hout Bay Harbour Distillery
Where small-batch craft meets the character of the harbour. Inspired by a love for authenticity, we create carefully distilled, vapour-infused gin that reflects both place and passion, using real ingredients and time-honoured methods.
About The Bay
Nestled on the edge of Cape Town, the picturesque village of Hout Bay Harbour is known for its colourful fishing vessels, rich cultural heritage, and dramatic mountain views. At its centre lies Hout Bay Harbour Distillery – South Africa’s only triple World Award–winning small-batch distillery. This true craft and family-run operation create premium vapour-infused gin with care and precision.
We Make Our Gins Only With Real Ingredients
Announced as the best navy Gin in the world at the 2020 World Gin Awards held annually in the United Kingdom, this 57% abv Gin is so smooth that you can drink it on the rocks. Paired with a slice of Orange and a simple Indian Tonic, our Navy Strength gin is surprisingly easy to drink.
