Fun Facts: Named after a little stream that runs through the property, Domain Weinbach was established as a winery in 1612 by Capuchin friars. After being sold as a national property during the French Revolution, it was next acquired by the Faller brothers in 1898 who then left it to their son and nephew, Théo.  Théo Faller was a prominent figure in the Alsace wine growing region. After his death in 1979, his wife Colette, his daughters Catherine and Laurence continued the family’s passion for the great wines of Alsace and commitment to excellence.  Since 2016, Catherine has led the estate winery with her sons, Eddy and Théo, employing both organic and biodynamic practices.
