Scenic, relaxing ride with views and wine tasting. Had a fantastic day out. Great scenery, lovely riding, saw some wildlife and then enjoyed a scenic wine tasting lunch. Also found an ice cream at the orchard to finish the day.

Fantastic day, so much fun. We did the self-guided e-bike tour to Tapanappa winery and had the BEST day. Definitely more appropriate for intermediate riders rather than beginners, but a great way to explore the Adelaide Hills and enjoy stunning views from the summit of Mt Lofty. Thanks to Ian and team for looking after us.
Outstanding day tour on a bike with stunning views, amazing food and wines. Ian was outstanding, informative, encouraging, relaxed and fun. The bikes were excellent. The riding was perfect for a wine tour. The winery’s we visited were outstanding and very welcoming. This tour was a highlight of our trip to Adelaide. Thank you Ian for an amazing day. Brad and Linda.

🚐🐐 FOX CREEK SHUTTLE UPDATE 🐐🚐
A few months ago we introduced our new Goat-Assist Shuttle System™ as an April Fool's joke.
Unfortunately, it appears we may have accidentally jinxed the Transit.
After years of loyal service hauling riders, bikes and trailers around the Adelaide Hills, our shuttle van has decided it would like a few weeks off for a gearbox rebuild and some mechanical TLC.
We've investigated reverting to the goat-powered backup system pictured below, however concerns were raised about uphill speeds, snack breaks and overall rider waiting times.
As a result, Fox Creek public shuttles will be temporarily paused while the Transit undergoes surgery and returns stronger than ever.
All existing bookings will be contacted directly. Guided tours, private tours, bike hire and school programs continue as normal.
Thanks for your patience, and please keep the Transit in your thoughts during this difficult time. 🐐😆

Shuttles! It's been pretty wet this week, and we are still having a little work done on the van, so we have decided to take a weekend off to avoid the mud, and having to clean a hired bus! Shuttle bookings are now open from 13 June, subject to weather!
Shuttles are full for Saturday this weekend, but we do have a few spots free on SUNDAY MORNING! Grab your spot now!
