The Weibel Family has been producing Champagne and
premium wine, specifically Green Hungarian, for over 75 years,
first in their native Switzerland, and then since 1939 after moving
to California. When Fred E. Weibel, Sr. and his father Rudolf came
to California, they brought with them classic old world winemaking
techniques and traditions, combined with a personal commitment to
quality and excellence.
The Weibel’s relocated their bottling facility in
April 1996 to Woodbridge, California because the vineyards in Mission
San Jose became more valuable for homes than for vineyard use.
Today, Weibel Vineyards is under the direction of
Fred E. Weibel Jr., President and Owner. Working along with him
is his cousin, Gary Habluetzel, in charge of production. The fourth
Weibel Family generation is now working at the winery. Elise, Fred's
daughter, works in the winery's Marketing and Sales department.
And Fred's son, Justin, graduated from the University of California
at Davis with a degree in enology and today is the winemaker at
Weibel Vineyards. Together they are learning to carry on the traditions
of hard work and excellence established many years ago by Rudolf
Weibel.
