Our Troublemaker vineyards live up to the wine they produce. They can be a bit wild and live on the edge; the edge of growing regions, of sub-AVAs and sometimes, civilization, along the Central Coast!

These lively vineyards are located on the eastern edge of the Pomar District, the outskirts of the Arroyo Grande Valley and there are rumors that Austin Hope’s very own vineyard might be in the blend.

One Syrah vineyard is located in the oak forests south east of Arroyo Grande in a remote valley. To say it is wild is an understatement. A long drive out of cellphone range where deer, snakes, bear and mountain lions rule have you knowing that it’s their land and we’re just farming it! Encountering a mountain lion is no joke and it’s happened here. Visits to this vineyard are always an adventure!
