Reasons to visit

Dromana is a bayside town on the Mornington Peninsula situated at the foot of towering Arthurs Seat. The calm waters along the sandy beaches in the area provide ideal swimming and boating conditions before or after you visit the local wineries.

Explore historic Heronswood, a property and garden on two hectares overlooking the bay which is now home to the Diggers Club. Dating back to 1871, the property has a cafe serving organic home-grown and local produce plus a shop and a nursery which holds gardening workshops.

"There many excellent wineries around here and we sell lots of the local product, including Red Hill Estate, Willow Creek Vineyard, Stonier Wines, T'Gallant, Paringa Estate and Foxeys Hangout.

We have herbs of Mt Martha, varieties of Red Hill Muesli, Del Grosso's Orchard apple juice and we also access fruit and vegies from local markets if the quality is there. We have a large health food section too with a range of gluten-free and coeliac products.

We're expanding and renovating our store and are planning a new deli, a fresh fish section and a sushi bar."
