Rooted in Fredericksburg, Texas, where the indomitable spirit of Colonel Marvin Prochnow — a heroic World War II Flying Fortresses pilot — comes to life. Born from humble beginnings, his journey showcases unwavering bravery and resilience.

Colonel Marvin Prochnow

Flying Fortresses

Chapter One

A small town boy who etched his mark in history.

Just a small town boy, Colonel Prochnow etched his mark in history through valor and determination. We invite you to join us, share in Marvin's legacy, and experience the rich history that flows through every bottle at Prochnow Vineyard.

"Unwavering bravery, quiet resilience — a legacy poured into every glass."

Chapter Two

A love story written across generations.

His love story with Margie Langerhans — his Fredericksburg Battlin' Billy high school sweetheart — and the birth of their children, Ross and Koreen, symbolize the enduring legacy that defines Prochnow Vineyard.

Today, Ross and his wife, Valerie, have courageously carried forward this family legacy by establishing the Prochnow Vineyard and Winery.
