Our Partner Winery
Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard, founded in 1979, is located on the western slopes of Seneca Lake. In 2007, Hermann sold the winery to Fred and Maressa Merwarth, and Oskar Bynke. A decade later, in 2017, they purchased Standing Stone. The two brands share both ownership and leadership teams. To learn more about Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard, click the link below.
