They consist of the main house in Oestrich-Winkel (Rheingau), the manor house in Bernkastel (Mosel), the winery Krone Assmannshausen*** (Rheingau) with its Pinot Noirs, and the Geheimrat J sparkling wine cellar. In 2021, the wineries Wegeler were sold to the investment company Villa Fortuna Weine in Wiesbaden as the main owner under the management of Ralf Frenzel (TreTorri Verlag) and Torsten Vogt.
