Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Highly recommend using Grapemobile to get around the Hunter Valley. The E-Bike in particular were really easy to use and made the transition between cellar doors seamless and gives the freedom a tour bus doesn't offer.

Quirky place in a little vineyard run by two great guys. We hired E-bikes for $75 each for 8 hours. They gave us the run down of the area and a map and off we went. Easy riding, visited a couple of tastings around a 20K loop and even saw some kangaroos. Great service, good price, quality bikes. Thoroughly recommend.

I would like to tell you that this is my second experience with Glen's bicycle service. The place is very beautiful with spectacular views of the Glen vineyard, with a very good Moscato from its production. Glen is a very friendly, attentive and helpful host. I recommend this experience 100%.
Thank you!!

Hi everyone.I am going to go to Australia soon .I know that the weather here is winter now so I want to ask that can I go to the grape field now?Is it beautiful like in spring?
PokBros
Pokolbin, Australia1 contribution
Hi Hu'o'ng Linh,
Thank you for your enquiry. Although it is winter here, the weather is mild with daily temperature reaching around 18 deg.C.
it is not as warm as spring, but many winter days are nice and sunny.
The grape vines are dormant, with the green leaf not attached. however, the scenery is still spectacular, and the wine & food taste is excellent.
We hope you will decide to visit Grapemobile Bicycle Hire to cycle through the grape fields and see the kangaroos when you visit Australia. We are sure you will have a wonderful time.
Best regards from Glen Thomson, Managing Director, Grapemobile Bicycle Hire.
I would like to book 6 bikes , 3 men's , 3 ladies, on the 19th March, we are staying at Harrigans Irish pub. Can you advise me of the tour we could do from your bike pick up that would only have country lanes and tracks but would visit at least a few vineyards thank you
PokBros
Pokolbin, Australia1 contribution
Hi!
Thank you for your enquiry,
We presently have 6 bikes, 3 mens & 3 ladies, available for hire on Saturday, 19th March, 2016.
Our bus pick-up/return option from your local accommodation at Harrigans Irish Pub to our own centrally located vineyard hire base is also available.
Our popular Grapemobile tour product includes cycling along country lanes & off-road trails through private vineyard properties, with the option of visiting up to 9 boutique wineries along the way, all offering tastings and free delivery of purchases back to our hire base.
There are two trail loops, both around 5km each, with wineries spaced at 1km or less apart. Most people do both loops, but that's up to you, and the amount of time you wish to spend at each winery.
The trails & the bikes are designed mainly for people who are into casual, easy cycling, not so much for serious professional cyclists. We are more about fun, food & wine!
Bikes can also be fitted with baskets, and we also include VIP Lanyard passes (for private access & complimentary wine tastings), sunscreen, bikes, helmets, bottled water, free photo, comprehensive map & instruction.
To make a booking, you would just need to visit our Grapemobile website, fill & send the 'Contact Us' form, then we'll confirm your requirements with times & availability. Once we follow the booking process & receive your deposit of $10.00pp, your bicycle reservation is confirmed.
Hoping this info helps.
