Paso Robles winery expands national distribution partnerships
Winery adds markets in Midwest, South, and Northeast
Winery adds markets in Midwest, South, and Northeast– Hope Family Wines announced new distribution partnerships with Reyes Beverage Group, Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits, and M.S. Walker as the winery expands its national distribution network.
Under the agreement, Reyes Beverage Group will distribute Hope Family Wines products in Texas, Oklahoma, Indiana, Virginia, Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Hawaii.
The winery also expanded its relationship with Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits from 15 markets to 18 markets, adding Kentucky, North Dakota, and South Dakota.
In addition, Hope Family Wines selected M.S. Walker as its wholesale partner in New York, expanding its Northeast distribution relationship from three states to four.
“We are excited to align and expand with these key partners who strengthen our vision for the future of Hope Family Wines,” said owner-winemaker Austin Hope. “The timing is perfect as we press forward into this next era of growth and opportunity. We are bullish on wine and will continue to position Hope Family Wines as a champion of Paso Robles.”
The winery said the new partnerships reflect expectations for growth across its national distribution network.
Hope Family Wines operates six brands: Austin Hope, Treana, Quest, Austin, Liberty School, and Troublemaker.
Last year, the winery opened a 140,000-square-foot warehouse and bottling facility in Paso Robles. The warehouse serves as the primary pickup point for the company’s distribution network and supports a 40,000-square-foot rooftop solar array. The solar installation offsets 60% of the energy used by the winery’s production facility, administrative offices, and warehouse operations.
“This is an exciting time to reinforce our relationships with distributors who share our family-owned values, commitment to quality and love for Paso Robles wines,” Hope said.
Hope Family Wines traces its roots to the early development of the Paso Robles wine industry. Austin Hope, the son of winegrowers Chuck and Marlyn Hope, grew up in Paso Robles and now leads the family-owned winery.
