Klingshirn Winery is a third-generation family winery established in the fall of 1935 by Albert Klingshirn in the cellar of his home. Albert’s son, Allan, purchased the farm and winery in 1955 and began expanding its product line. In 1978, the winery expanded to four times its original size. Allan’s youngest son, Lee, graduated from Ohio State University in 1986 with a Bachelors Degree in Viticulture and Enology. Lee is now the winemaker and works with his parents to continue the family tradition. During the fall harvest, customers often observe the pressing operations. At this time, much of the juice is sold fresh from the press for drinking, jelly making, freezing or home winemaking. Informal tasting is permitted and informal tours are welcome.

Appointments for formal group tours of up to 25 people must be prearranged.

Formal tours include wine tastings with cheese and crackers, and require a small fee.
