Based on the vision of a surgeon and his anesthetist, two vineyards were planted in 1984 on Biscay Clay soils which viticulturists considered as unsuitable for wine grape production. Now, the whole area between Fox Creek, the rolling Willunga Hills and the sea is covered with vines, partly based on Fox Creek's success as a producer of some of the best Shiraz in Australia.

Fox Creek is only 45 kilometres due South of Adelaide, South Australia, found between the villages of McLaren Vale and Willunga in the centre of the Vale.

Visitors to Fox Creek are always welcome at the cosy Cellar Door cottage and quite often stay to picnic in the beautiful surrounding gardens. Regional platters are available to enjoy with a glass of wine. While you are enjoying yourself your children can go on our treasure hunt. Visitors are also invited on a 'behind the scenes' winery tour on Moday andFriday's, free of charge by contacting the winery prior to their visit.

The Reserve Shiraz received Excellent Classification in 2005 as one of the top 101 wines in all varieties available in Australia by Langton's Auction House. The Reserve Shiraz has received Trophy for the best wine at the McLaren Vale Wine Show three times.
