History

The company was founded in the Pajaro Valley in 1868 by two Swiss Martinelli brothers when Stephen bottled and fermented apples of his older brother Louis.[1] He previously had experience making Champaign in France. The recipe won a gold medal at the 1890 California State Fair.[4]

Martinelli's also produces a sparkling hard cider. They also have several other brands of juices, and released a hard cider for a limited time in 2018.

There is a street in Watsonville that bears the Martinelli name.
