The Meyer’s distillery is located in the heart of the valley of Villé, in the hamlet of Hohwarth. Like many distillers, its founder, Fridolin Meyer, had specialized in traditional white alcohols typical of the north-east of France: kirsch, mirabelle, marc de gewürztraminer, etc. Liqueurs as well as rarer alcohols (alisier, elderflowers, ...) quickly enriched their offer. In 1975, his son Jean-Claude took over the distillery.
In 50 years of existence, the Meyer’s distillery is the most awarded in France, with
153 medals (including 70 gold medals) won at the General Agricultural Competition of Paris .
