Sign of Hugel Winery, Riquewihr, Alsace, France
Hugel & Fils is a winery in Riquewihr, Alsace, France. Hugel & Fils is one of the major producers of Alsace wine. The company was founded in Riquewihr in 1639 by Hans Ulrich Hugel, who was a Swiss national who left his home country during the Thirty Years' War. It has remained in the hands of the Hugel family since then. As a logotype, they use a family crest which was carved in 1672, to decorate the doorway of a house built in Riquewihr by one of Hans Ulrich's sons. In 1902, Hugel & Fils, which was then managed by Frédéric Emile Hugel, moved to its present location in the center of Riquewihr.
