French Camp Vineyards is a vineyard in San Luis Obispo County, California, U.S. located east of Paso Robles residing in the Paso Robles Highlands District viticultural area.
The Miller family purchased The Camatta Ranch property in 1968, believing that it could be developed to various crops including wine grapes.
They leased parts of it out for a few years while they gathered information as to climate, soils, and water for irrigation.
[2] In cooperation with the University of Arkansas, Dr. Justin Morris (Director of Food Science & Engineering at U of A), and OXBO International, Hank Ashby, Vineyard Manager for French Camp Vineyards has adopted a new method for producing a better balanced and consistent crop.
Moreover, in conjunction with Paso Robles Wine Services, French Camp has conducted trials demonstrating better quality fruit production as a result of the balanced cropping technique when compared against hand farmed fruit in many cases.
