SAUCELITO CANYON VINEYARD In 1880 homesteader Henry Ditmas planted Zinfandel vines on three rugged acres in Saucelito Canyon, tucked in the foothills eight hundred feet above sea level at the eastern terminus of the sixteen-mile Arroyo Grande Valley, just above the fog line. The dry-farmed vines thrived for decades in the balanced climate of reliable sunshine and cool marine breezes. However, the vineyard was abandoned by the 1940s, and dry scrub brush and poison oak eventually shrouded the vines. Nearly a century later, in 1974, Santa Barbara native Bill Greenough camped out at the remote property he was considering for purchase.
