This review is for the walking tour as much as it's for the tasting room. The weekly Friday coffee walk around town is a must do! First off, Chris, who hosts it is fantastic. He's friendly, personable and knowledgeable. The coffee they provide free of charge comes from Amstrdm down the street. Yum! The walk is a perfect length and full of fun facts. And then you get to wine taste afterwards! This was an experience my family will talk about for a long time to come. Thank you! read more

My wife and I were doing a quick visit in downtown and walking around the park, along with our 7-year old son. I wanted to squeeze in a wine tasting anywhere while she did some browsing at the stores, and her last comment was "just make sure they are kid-friendly." I wasn't going to stop at Hope on Park, even though the aesthetics of the wine tasting bar are really appealing, just because in the past I haven't always super loved the flagship cabernet that is distributed everywhere and the place was so nice, it didn't seem kid-friendly. However, the host, Alli, was so friendly and engaging that I paused to reconsider. Once she mentioned that it was also legal to take the wine to the park, as long as you had a lid, I was in, as I had an escape plan if it didn't work out with my family!! From that point on, it was a really fun and magical tour of the entire lineup of Austin Hope--with many really enjoyable whites and reds. Alli also offered up revisits and other bottles that weren't in the lineup...and she was super knowledgeable about all the wines, since that is what she is studying at school. When my wife came with our son, Alli also really engaged both of them with both the wine lineup and juice for my son, being really kind and generous to both of them and I could tell they both really liked her as well. So, this ended up being the perfect spot! I guess my instincts were right!! Of course, we were going to buy a couple of bottles to get the tasting fee waived and to repay her for her kindness...however, we loved the experience and her so much, we ended up buying the two most expensive bottles there. read more

Wonderful store front excellent service,customer care and of course the Hope wines are outstanding.

We had such an amazing experience with this place. Extremely dog friendly, knowledgeable staff who made the wines and the process making it more real to us. Of course, it helped that the wines are absolutely yummy! A must stop by place and definitely worth your time . Also acknowledging the wonderful staff who made the visit very special, particularly Nikki who was very intentional on how she introduced the wines to us. Life is too short, let's keep drinking good wines. read more

Hope on Park - Salud! - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Paso Robles, California

Christian was very patient and gave us a wonderful tasting! Comparing GSM by year was very interesting and I learned a lot about the family and the wines. Austin Hope has great wines, friendly people and always makes for a wonderful day. I will be back, find more 3 C's!! read more

Being that I was unable to get a reservation for the Austin Hope Winery, they were kind enough to recommend me Hope on Park. To say the least, I was very pleased and would recommend this option to anyone that goes through the same situation I did. Not only is this spot super chill, they have plenty of parking and lots of food options around in case you want to also grab some dinner. Hope on Park was very welcoming. The staff was attentive and made time to make sure we had our glasses with a taster along with information about what you were experiencing in your taste buds. It felt intimate and almost like a private tasting. I also very much loved that they were dog friendly and even provided my dog a treat. There is no seats for you to hang out in but there is a counter large that you don't feel like you're rubbing elbows with anyone. If you do a tasting and spend $100, the tasting will be free. Great wine, fun experience. **** Dog Friendly **** #13/2025 read more

The vibe was fantastic, the pours were never ending, and Christian was our guy walking us through all the wines, tasting experience, and making it a fun time for us! I highly recommend this place and Christian! Honestly Christian made our experience what it was - and so thankful. We ended up purchasing almost 2 cases as a group. The wine was delish ! read more

Hope on Park - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Paso Robles, California

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! From the outside, it looks like a charming sidewalk walk-up bar, but if you make reservations for their 2.5-hour tasting experience, you're in for a completely different world. Step through the doors and it feels like you've entered your own private lounge--fun, intimate, and unlike anything else. Instead of the usual 4-5 wine samples, you're paired with your own dedicated "wine-tender," which takes the experience to another level. We had the pleasure of being guided by Nikki, who was absolutely phenomenal. She took the time to get to know our preferences, let us taste a few wines before the official tasting even began, and then customized our entire flight to match our palates. It was not only delicious but incredibly educational. My husband and I had an absolute blast and walked away with a new appreciation for Austin Hope wines. Don't miss this experience! read more

After visiting the Austin Hope winery years ago, I had always wanted to go back. Because of their popularity, it can be pretty hard to snag a reservation, so I was very excited to see that they had a new downtown tasting room. Of course, being a well-known winery and in the heart of downtown didn't necessarily help with the crowds here, but we were able to walk in early on a Sunday morning and be the only ones there for a while. And even as the crowd did grow, they weren't turning people away and were happy to help everyone who walked up. We were helped by Nick, who was very fun to taste with. He was knowledgeable about the wine and we enjoyed talking about Paso and Austin Hope. We got to sample all the wines on the tasting menu, and a few off menu as well, which we of course ended up going home with a couple of. While the cab is what they're known for (and is amazing), it's always nice to taste directly from the winery because you get to sample so much more of what they do, and a lot of stuff that is exclusive to the winery that you won't find in stores. If you want a more relaxing and educational experience, I'd recommend going to the vineyard property or coming here early, as when the crowd grows it gets a little loud and can become a party, so it does get a little more difficult to get wine education. We were lucky and had come early enough that we still got a good amount of one on one information about all the wines. Ended up, leaving with a few bottles, and will definitely be back here again! read more

I've been a fan of Austin Hope, but it was time to do something about it. In fact, all my Paso friends are members, so I suppose it's safe to say, everyone is doing it. The Tasting Room, Hope on Park, is across from the central park and right front and center in town. It's conveniently located, fun to walk right up and have a taste or a glass of wine. The main vineyard is a separate location (which I have yet to go). I was invited to a party of 9, so we were seated inside in the back. Wow, incredible wines kept coming served alongside a beautiful charcuterie plated on 3 tiers. Sure, it was great to nibble, but the wines were so good (best: 2018 Cab, and the 2023 CCC). Our wine educator was so cool and wonderful. All in all, I'm a member now. Glasses for free, anytime...oh yeah...and 6 bottles twice per year...double oh yeah. read more

I have not been to the Austin Hope Winery, but I did stop by the tasting room Hope on Park. It was such a lively little room. There is a view of the park behind and the garage door opening, making it feel like you are outside and apart of the town. The wines were all so tasty, it was like each one was getting better and better. I really really liked the Treana wines. I will absolutely be back to this place and will need to plan to visit the winery as well. Maybe a future member! read more

Our experience at Hope on Park was amazing from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. The staff was very attentive and greeted us with tasty bubbly. We did the Cabernet Sauvignon Vertical tasting and it was beyond our expectations. Our host Nikki was amazing!!! Her passion and excitement was contagious and we loved all the history and science behind the wines. She also went above and beyond and helped us find some amazing food for our anniversary weekend. Thanks so much for a beautiful time, we will be back! read more

Location & Vibe Tucked right across from the lush City Park at 1140 Pine St, Hope on Park brings vibrant energy straight to the heart of Paso Robles. The sidewalk tasting bar buzzes with a festive, casual atmosphere where you can drop by--no reservation needed--for a glass of bubbly or a generous flight as you stroll downtown. The Wines Curated by Hope Family Wines (Austin Hope, Treana, Liberty School, and more), selections range from approachable whites and rosés to bold, reserve-level reds. I loved sampling a surprise rosé from the Artist Series--bright, nuanced, and engaging, with each varietal shining through. Creative Spaces Beyond the bar, they offer three reservation-only "Creative Spaces," each with a unique atmosphere: * A kaleidoscopic "Summer of '69" lounge * A moody, leather-booth dining-club vibe * An "Asian-inspired" Discrete Lounge tailored to celebrate their exclusive wines. These lounges make for a memorable, immersive wine‑tasting experience--perfect if you're seeking something more curated and intimate. Hospitality Staff, including the charismatic Director of Hospitality Jo Armstrong, greet you like old friends, guiding you through both casual pours and high-end guided tastings. At the Creative Spaces, your individual "Dream Weaver" customizes the experience--sabering bubbly, exploring library vintages, or diving into black-glass mystery flights. Value Sidewalk pours start at a reasonable $25 tasting fee, and club members enjoy a few complimentary options each visit. The elevated Creative Space experience (around $75) proved well worth it when paired with rare wines and artisanal snacks. Family & Pet Friendly Kid- and dog-friendly, located right by the park--ideal for families or for those bringing their four-legged friends. Final Take Hope on Park nails it on all fronts: delicious, well-made wines, warm and authentic hospitality, and a lively yet refined space that suits both casual sippers and deep-diving wine lovers. Highly recommend starting with a relaxed pour at the sidewalk bar, then--if you're ready for something special--upgrading to a lounge experience. I'll absolutely be back next trip! read more

Hope on Park - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Paso Robles, California

Christian, I hope I'm writing your name correctly. Thank you so much! You were so lovely and knowledgeable. It was actually fun to learn and not feel lectured in any way. 10/10 recommend! We loved it! read more

I had to travel to Paso Robles for a short meeting in the morning and decided to take the rest of the day off and check out some more places in the area. Hope on park was recommended by a co-worker. The tasting room is across the street from the park, it is a lovely modern space, but the name is hidden above the over hang so it's hard to find from the side walk. I was greeted as I walked past by Chris, where I learned this was the place I was looking for. I selected a reserve red tasting and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the wine. Chris did an excellent job on educating me on the wines I tasted. I enjoyed them all but the wine that spoke to me was the red Treana. It is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. This unusual blend (varietals from different regions) created an elegant wine with complex flavors. I also need to give a shout out to the packaging Thank you Chris for a great wine tasting experience read more

Hope on Park - Treana Red Blend Austin Hope wine maker - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Paso Robles, California

This new-ish sidewalk tasting room is positioned on the west side of the downtown city park and with their wall to wall accordion-style door open it's literally a breath of fresh air. While the front area is relatively small, the back area is huge with separate seating areas so multiple groups can have private tastings simultaneously. But it's the wines that take center stage here as they are fantastic. Tip: Try to visit on a weekday and earlier since they are usually jammed on weekends. Knowledgeable and friendly staff makes this a must visit when in downtown Paso! read more

Initially we tried to get a reservation at the AH vineyard but they were fully booked. I asked to be put on the waitlist then got a call from Ryah saying they had an opening at the their newer Hope on the Park location in the creative space. I was slightly bummed we were going to the vineyard, but was happy we'd be able to try their variety of wines. When we got there, Ryah greeted us and walked us to through the back entrance where you walk into a whole different facet of the building. The patio area was stylish and elegant and we were greeted by Wes who started the immersive experience off with popping bottles of champagne the old school way! How cool! We walked into their creative space and it was very hip, spacious, and overall amazing ambiance. There was a printed sign with our names and SEVERAL glasses out for our two person tasting. We did the vertical tasting which was amazing and we got to taste and experience the AH wines we know and love in many different vintages. All in all we tasted at least 10 different wines. This experience was sooooooo worth it and all the wine tasting you'll need in one day. We even cancelled the next vineyard we had lined up that day because we wanted to hangout longer at AH and the tasting experience we just had there could not be matched. If you get the opportunity to visit and do the creative space tasting experience. Do it!!! read more

We stopped by Hope on Park this morning and were pleased that we could get a tasting without an appointment. Chris and Gavin helped us and made the experience fun and enjoyable. They were both very knowledgeable about AH and the region. Ask Chris to solve the Rubik's cube! I almost forgot to mention that the wine is phenomenal. You will find something you like for sure! read more

Super friendly staff matched, endorsed and validated by superb wines! Convenient location for Tesla Superchargers!

It was a sentimental first visit for me earlier this week to Hope on Park. My partner who passed away earlier this year used to be a member at Austin Hope and their wine had been special to us these last several years. When my friend and I had to come down to pick up an old club shipment of his at another winery, I knew I had to stop here. Originally when we booked the reservation they let us know the tasting experience would last (at least) a whole two hours, coming from the Napa region we couldn't imagine how that would be possible for "just" a tasting. How incorrect we were, in such a good way. We were there for 3 solid hours and we could have easily stayed four. Our host Wes gave us one of the most memorable wine tasting experiences ever, and we've been wine tasting countless hundreds of times. His light and fun conversation, service, attentiveness, understanding of our situation, and all around a great time has raised such a high bar in the wine educator realm that I wish I could have given him more than a great review and a tip. Owners if you are reading this: Wes is gold! Safe to say after our special wine tasting visit we purchased bottles of wine. After we had checked out and were getting ready to leave, Wes came back with a signed bottle from the staff and with my partner's name inscribed on the side, in honor of him. I couldn't believe it. This was above and beyond and I began to cry. We took a group photo together. Thank you so much! We will definitely be back! read more

Wes is the epitome of service excellence. We love Austin Hope wine but he made the experience. I consider myself very wine knowledgeable but Wes added a lot to my knowledge . Overall an absolutely fantastic experience and left with lots of wine. Wes, thank you for helping making my 50th birthday an excellent day. Appreciate you brother. read more

Best wine tasting! Such an amazing experience. Love this place and Max was an excellent host!!! Very knowledgeable and fun!!!

We're "wine club" members at a number of Paso Robles wineries, and so we look forward to our bi-annual "Wine Club pickups" as an excuse for a weekend get-away. We were coming up this weekend for our pickup at Austin Hope, and received an email about their recently opened "Hope on Park" location in downtown Paso Robles, along with their speakeasy-type "Creative Space". Instead of a list of wines per tasting, they have a choice of "creative" experiences. I'd like to say that this was the greatest, most-interesting, most fun, wine tasting experience we've ever had! It lasted 3 hours (because we said we had plenty of time; they can get you in-and-out in an hour if you need to)! And their facilities are absolutely gorgeous! We love chatting with our hosts at our wine tastings, and asking many, many questions. Our host, Wes, was absolutely amazing! It's clear how passionate he is about wine, because he lovingly spent over 3 hours with us, walking us through blind taste tests, smelling flavor profiles, and answering every question that we had. Do yourself a favor and book a reservation at "The Creative Space"! Hope on Park is not yet showing up in various restaurant search engines, but it's definitely worth tracking down, because word of mouth will soon spread, and it will become a hard reservation to get. read more

Hands down the best wine tasting I have ever experienced. They curate the wines on your personal preference so every wine you tase is something you will enjoy. The portions are generous and they make sure you do not leave wanting. It is more than a tasting, it is a personalized experience. I could not recommend this more. read more

The "elevated experience" is DEFINITELY worth it! While the winery tasting room is great, this is absolutely the best way to experience Austin Hope wines!!! We'll definitely be back. While I'm sure all the staff is great, Tara was FANTASTIC!!!! read more

This place in incredible and the staff is accommodating to a fault. This experience is a must. I came here as a part of a surprise 1 year anniversary trip with my girlfriend and something happened with my booking. Either I didn't confirm or I never sent confirmation. But they wanted to make my experience special with my girlfriend regardless. The staff took us into the back room and gave us a couple of seats and brought it out some wine for us to try. They gave us a tasting and were beyond friendly. The entire staff is extremely informative and was explaining the entire history of the wine and what makes it special. You have definitely made a lifetime customer out of me and my girlfriend. I will absolutely be coming back here and I'll be telling everyone I know how perfect an experience I had here. Next time I'll be sure to make sure I confirm!! read more

This wine tasting was hands-down the best I've ever experienced! Our host Christian went above and beyond to ensure we tasted the best that Austin Hope had to offer.

Wow what a great experience! I emailed dreamweaver Ryah and she set us up for an amazing experience. She was super helpful and made communication prior to visiting easy. We chose the AH vertical experience. Our host Wes was top notch. He welcomed us with a sabre champagne opening. Wes was informative and friendly. He also allowed our party plenty of time to just hangout and enjoy the wines without hovering. The space is so cool and funky as well. They welcomed our whole party which included a baby and 2 dogs! I highly recommend! read more

Don't get me wrong, the wines here are awesome, but Sawyer and Chris are the best thing about this place. These 2 gentleman were knowledgeable, charismatic & cool! $25 gets you some awesome wines and a good time in a chill location! They have cocktails and Togo cups as well! read more

We have been there twice since it opened. They start you off with a blanc de blanc opened with a saber and it only gets better from there. We tried the Vertical Tasting and the Black Glass and both were amazing experiences. Wes and Tara are fantastic not only in their knowledge but their friendliness, personality and overall hospitality! So happy to have Hope on Park in downtown and that it's NOT just an extension of their tasting room-although that is an option too. Way to go Olivia and team! read more

Was gifted the Black Glass VIP tasting experience from my sister for my birthday. Nikki and Raya pulled out all the stops making the whole tasting nothing short of amazing. Might have been the best time I've ever had. Such a unique concept from start to finish. The VIP room is such a vibe and beautifully decorated. My champagne glass was never empty and the caviar was just beyond. Austin Hope wines never disappoint and they have hit it out of the park at Hope on Park! read more

My husband and I are new wine club members. We love stopping by to enjoy a glass. Chris and Gavin have always been warm, attentive and caring. We recently met Sawyer who is also wonderful. The wines are outstanding, and the consistent positive experience we have enjoyed at Hope on Park makes us feel special! read more

Wow- what an amazing experience. We had a party of 6 come visit this location over Labor Day and I have to say this was the best wine-tasting experience I think any of us have ever had. We decided to try out their portfolio tasting as our first stop for the weekend and it absolutely set the bar for our weekend. We were greeted outside by our host Nikki for an amazing sabering demonstration with some history of the winery as well as some delicious bubbles to start. Then she guided us through their beautiful building and we sat in this perfect little room for us to go through our tasting. I cannot speak highly enough of the wines we tasted, they were incredible from start to finish. However, for us, the best part was the experience. Our host Nikki truly went out of her way to make sure we had a special time and it was such a memorable experience. One in our party had never tasted wine before and Nikki went out of her way to make him feel welcome, teach him about the wines and the tasting process, as well as a special little gift for him as we were leaving. To say that this was a 10/10 experience is an understatement. We all left with plenty of bottles plus a wine club membership and had such an amazing time that we had to come back the next day to try some more wine. We're currently planning another trip to go back specifically to come here! Thank you, Nikki! read more
