Paso Robles Winery Offers Fine Wines and Activations at Iconic Central Coast Event
Jul 8, 2026 (Paso Robles, CA) — Hope Family Wines proudly joins the 2026 California Mid-State Fair as the Official Wine Partner of the event’s Hospitality Tent, welcoming fair patrons into the world of Paso Robles wine country. In addition to offering a range of local flavors from its diverse portfolio, Hope Family Wines is creating an immersive venue experience that is designed to inspire fun, festivity and photo opportunities.
“The California Mid-State Fair is an iconic showcase for the small-town spirit, agricultural heritage and world-class attractions of Paso Robles and the Central Coast,” said Owner-Winemaker Austin Hope. “I’ve been going to the fair since I was a kid, and it means a lot to me personally to be actively involved with our family winery.”
The Hospitality Tent is now festooned with Paso Robles wine country ambiance, including a stationary full-size “bull” presented by the winery’s Troublemaker brand—guests are welcome to climb on for photos, no riding required. Large photographic backdrops include a depiction of Austin Hope at the roadside welcoming people to Paso Robles, and another that declares “Real Cowboys Drink Cabernet.” Selections from Hope Family Wines will also be available at other fair locations during the event.
