The Winemaker

Owner Christopher Gugel is the "Maestro" behind Maestro Winery. As lead winemaker, Chris has been an avid vintner for many years, starting his wine ventures in his home state of Nebraska.  Bringing his wine making talents to Florida's First Coast, he specializes in creating unique fruit wines derived from locally sourced Florida fruit.  Several of Maestro's wines have received awards and recognition in various winemaking competitions, including gold medals for red muscadine, chocolate orange, and rose petal wine varieties. The concept for Maestro was born from Christopher's passion for music and wine. As an avid musician, he fully believes that there is an art to enjoying the wine experience, much like the art found in music. Chris believes that visual and performing arts go hand-in-hand with the craft wine experience.
