Hickinbotham of Dromana

Directions Website

We are rustic family friendly Restaurant, Winery and Brewery located in Dromana. Our opening ours ar The Hickinbotham Winery of Dromana was established in 1988.
(1078)

It is a family run business that began as one of the first vineyards on the Mornington Peninsula. The owner Andrew Hickinbotham is a 3rd generation winemaker who created the winery from recycled materials giving it a rich history and a rustic feel. The Hickinbotham of Dromana winery has expanded over the years to include a large restaurant and boutique brewery "HIX BEER" that has created a name for itself for its award winning beers. We offer amazing Beer and Wines brewed on site with very little preservatives (stopping those hangovers), great food, warm friendly staff and an amazing view of the bay.

There's the w**e, of course. And the food, the b**r and the beautiful vineyard.
But then there are the sheep, the dogs, the alpacas and all the little characters that make Hickinbotham what it is.
It's all part of the experience.

A lot can change in the vineyard in a few weeks. 🌱

Not long ago, we were celebrating the first tiny buds appearing on the vines.

Now those bare rows are filling with fresh green growth, and there's plenty happening behind the scenes as we head towards another vintage.

It's one of our favourite times of year to wander through the vineyard.

Although, ask Andrew and he'll probably tell you there's a little more work involved than simply admiring the view.

There's a lot that goes into making a place feel like Hickinbotham.

It's the people tending the vines, preparing your lunch, pouring your w**e and making sure everyone feels welcome.

Some have been part of the story for years, others are helping write the next chapter.

Different roles, different personalities, but all part of the same little corner of the Mornington Peninsula.

And we're pretty lucky to have them.
