Beers are made by son Jake with a great array of styles including pilsener, pale ale, brown ale, Irish stout, double choc porter, a lovely summer ale and occasional seasonal beers. The list includes a ruby cider made from Ruby Cabernet and served on tap.

The Hickinbotham of Dromana cellar door is rustic, quirky and thoroughly inviting with live music and a raging open fire. Quality fresh food made from local ingredients, great wines and beers and an amazing outlook over the vineyard makes it easy to stay for a while. The restaurant can cater for birthdays, weddings, conferences or functions.

Hickinbotham is a pet friendly venue but pets must remain on leash, as sheep and alpaca roam the paddocks.
