The history of the former sparkling wine cellars in Koblenz looks back on more than 200 years of history. Originally founded as a wine shop by Johann Friedrich Deinhard on May 1, 1794, sparkling wines were produced here from 1843 using the traditional bottle fermentation process.

When Emma Deinhard, the granddaughter of the company founder, married Privy Councilor Julius Wegeler in 1861 and later took over the management of the company, the company grew into a modern sparkling wine manufacturer.

The Wegeler family is still connected to viticulture and our sparkling wine museum today.
