PA SO R OBLES
Paso Robles sits midway between
San Francisco and Los Angeles, 25
miles inland from the Pacific Ocean,
in the heart of California’s famed
Central Coast. Known for its warm
days and cools nights, Paso Robles
is also recognized for its many
microclimates and the diversity of its
soils, which range from calcareous,
to decomposed granite, to loamy
clay. This extensive range in soils and
temperatures allows for an unusual
range of expressions among the
different grape varieties grown here.
Paso Robles is home to nearly
30,000 acres of planted vineyards
and is one of the largest and most
distinct growing regions in California.
It continues to gain notoriety and
acclaim for its vineyards and award
winning wines.
VI N E YA R D S
The Hope Family Vineyard sits just
west of Paso Robles, in the Templeton
Gap. Each afternoon, ocean air snakes its
way through the Santa Lucia Mountains
and cools the vineyard, helping to
preserve the grapes’ natural acidity. The
dramatic diurnal swing (daily temperature
variation) frequently spans 50 degrees.
Planted originally in 1981 to Cabernet
Sauvignon and Zinfandel, it has been
replanted with hi-density spacing and is
now home to Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre
and Roussanne.
In 2009, the Hope Family Vineyard
was certified sustainable by the Central
Coast Vineyard Team as part of their
Sustainability in Practice (SIP) program.
Growers who participate must document
their vineyard practices and are audited
by third party reviewers. Planting cover
crops, using less water and employing
natural wildlife corridors are just a few
of the sustainability efforts used in the
Hope’s estate vineyard.

The Hope family converted a portion of the Austin Hope winery
on their estate property into a tasting room in 2009. After years of not
operating a public tasting room in Paso Robles, it was time to create a
space to showcase their wines and vineyard. A rustic barrel room with
a core tin roof was transformed inside with a modern, yet understated
sensibility and simplicity. Picture windows offer stunning views of the everchanging vineyard and larger-than-life barrel features draw attention to
why you’ve come: to simply enjoy the wine. All of the Hope Family Wines
are available for tasting.
