Wegeler is a family-owned company founded in 1882 by Julius Wegeler, who was originally a wine merchant and sparkling wine producer in the Deinhardt family. The business is now run by the fourth generation of the Wegeler family along with Ralph Frenzel as the family-owner representative under Managing Director Richard Grosche.

The Wegeler wineries consist of three branches on the Rhine and Moselle, based on a shared passion for Riesling. At the beginning of 2007, part of the assets of the Weingut Krone Assmannshausen winery were acquired.
