Our Story

La Riojana is one of the largest co-operative wineries in Argentina with annual production of close to 40 million litres a year.

We are linked by far more than just doing business together. We share the same history and the same backgrounds that go back through four generations to the 1940s.

We now have over 500 producer partners united by our past, with many coming from families that have been part of the co-operative since its beginning.

La Riojana was the first Argentine winery to become a Fairtrade certified in 2006.
We have grown to be the largest and one of the most respected Fairtrade wine producers in the world providing, since 2006, over $11 million Argentine pesos of support to our members, our workers, their families and in turn to their local communities.

As well as providing support through Fairtrade, La Riojana is also 100% committed to working with our members in a way that is not only sustainable to their way of life, but also the health and future of the land, the environment and the soils from which we make our wine.

La Riojana became certified as an organic producer in 2000 and has grown to become one of the country’s largest producers of organic wine.
