In 1993, Roche Vineyard Consulting (RVC) was established in order to aid in a wide array of wine grape growers needs. Based in Monterey County, California, Roche is currently involved with the production of over 25 varieties of premium varietal wine grapes on over 2,000 acres of land. With over 30 years of farming experience and 18 years of viticulture experience, he has spent the last two decades managing and consulting wine grape vineyards in California, Oregon, and Washington. Roche’s hands on style,  management skills,  Spanish speaking ability, and mechanical knowledge, allow him to seamlessly step into any vineyard and increase efficiency and productivity. Consulting with growers in over 7 California counties, RVC specializes in wine grape irrigation, pest and disease control, management, planting, rootstock selection, vine nutrition, and trellis research. As a founding member of the Central Coast Pierce’s Disease Task Force and a current member of the California Pierce’s Disease Advisory Task Force, Roche has continued to be an instrumental part of the successful program to stop the infiltration of pest and disease complex into wine growing areas of California.
