The Wine Program
CAMP is helmed by chef Drew Erickson, a Thomas Keller/French Laundry alum, and earned a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence. Beverage director Joe Crossnan's list spotlights smaller American wineries and grower Champagne houses you won't find on most lists: Marc Hébrart Special Club, Bérêche & Fils, alongside domestic stars like Kistler (Sonoma), Eyrie (Oregon), and Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley 2018, which earned Wine Spectator's No. 9 wine of the year.
The Setting
Perched at Camperdown Plaza overlooking Falls Park, with a rooftop bar serving a condensed version of the list alongside creative cocktails. The chef's counter seating is the move for a wine-focused evening. Food is globally influenced comfort fare designed to pair. The French Laundry pedigree in the kitchen means the food matches the wine program's ambition.
Why Rager
Wine Spectator-awarded, a chef trained under Thomas Keller, grower Champagne, and domestic bottles that made national top-ten lists. CAMP treats wine with the seriousness of a much larger city's fine dining program. The rooftop is a bonus.
🔥 The Bottom Line
CAMP pairs a Wine Spectator-awarded list with French Laundry training and a Falls Park rooftop. Grower Champagne and small-lot American wines chosen with genuine expertise. Greenville's most polished wine experience.
