Hickinbotham of Dromana is a small family run business on the Mornington Peninsula. Established in 1988 by Andrew and Terryn Hickinbotham, Andrew being a third generation winemaker.
The property at Dromana consists of a 15 acre vineyard, surrounded by open grass woodlands with a large ornamental dam. Five acres of the property is dedicated to "Land for Wild Life" and contains important remnant bush.
There are eight grape varieties grown on the property, they being Pinot Noir, Cabernet Savignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Shiraz, Chardonnay, Taminga (a new Australian variety - a cross between Riesling and Gewertztraminer) and Aligote (a French variety - the only known plantings in Australia). In the vineyard, organic practices are used and the wine is made with minimal preservatives.
The Hickinbothams have also recently expanded to include brewing a small selection of boutique beers.
