Treana / Liberty School

The Hope family began planting vineyards in the Paso Robles area in 1978. Two decades of experience has taught them not only how to grow the finest quality wine grapes, but has also the tremendous potential of the region. Formerly, the Hopes sold wine under the Hope Family label directly from the winery's tasting room.

Beginning with the 1990 vintage, the Hope ranches became the sole source of fruit for Liberty School Cabernet Sauvignon. In 1996, they founded Treana Winery after years of hands-on experience in viticulture and winemaking. Today the Hopes cultivate mature vineyards of the varietals best suited to their area: Syrah; Cabernet Sauvignon; Petite Syrah; Grenache; Petit Verdot; Mourner; and Merlot.
