Key Historical & Operational Highlights

• Bonded Winery No. 57: Following the repeal of Prohibition in late 1933, winemakers were required to obtain federal registry numbers. Low numbers were assigned to early post-Prohibition entries in Ohio; #57 signified one of the earliest federally bonded winemaking operations registered in northern Ohio during the 1930s revival.

• Location & Roots: Associated with the local Weichel family of Margaretta Township and Castalia. The operation was often referred to locally in newspaper notices during the 1930s and 1940s as the Welchel (Weichel) Fruit Farm & Winery.
