Our family began farming in Lodi, California the late 1800s, when my great-great grandparents emigrated from Germany and began growing non-irrigated watermelons. From that humble beginning, the family grew their holdings and ultimately bought a vineyard in 1916. Each generation since has built on the efforts of the one that came before, continuing the legacy of stewardship of the land.

Our business, LangeTwins Family Winery and Vineyards, grew from that foundation, a partnership between my father and his twin brother, who bought land from their parents and launched their own viticultural company at the ripe old age of 25.
