Business Detailed:
|
The Hope family has been growing grapes in Paso Robles for thirty years. We will continue to produce delicious wines that are made in the vineyard.
Austin Hope is a winemaker for a new generation. Having spent his childhood among his family’s vines in Paso Robles, he’s right at home talking about grapes, the Paso Robles community and his responsibility as the head of his family’s winery.
Austin came to Paso Robles with his family in 1978, when his parents bought land and planted both vineyards and apple orchards. He was just eight years old when the grapes came on line in the 1980s and began learning in the vineyards alongside his father, Chuck Hope.
In 1995 he graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a degree in fruit science. Beginning in the 1980s, the Hope family sold Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to Caymus for its Liberty School label, and Austin followed his father’s advice to seek out an opportunity to work with Caymus founder Chuck Wagner.
The Hope family began producing Liberty School wines and founded Treana in 1996. After beginning as the Assistant Winemaker, Austin became Winemaker for the Hope portfolio in 1998. Hope Family Wines now makes Treana, Liberty School, Candor, Austin Hope and Westside wines. In 2009, Austin Hope was named “Winemaker of the Year” at the California Mid-State Fair.
When he’s not on the road promoting his wines or busy sampling barrels, Austin enjoys duck hunting. He’s also a dedicated dad who likes to spend time with his two young daughters, or enjoy a glass of wine with his wife in the evenings. His favorite wines include Northern and Southern Rhônes, California Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
