Celler Cooperatiu d’Espolla
Alt Empordà | Since 1931
The Cooperative Winery of Espolla is one of the wine-making companies with the longest tradition in the Alt Empordà county, founded in 1931 by a group of winemakers seeking to enhance the quality of their products and to improve their commercialization. Throughout the years of its existence, a constant spirit of improvement has allowed the winery to preserve a traditional spirit in the growing of vineyards and elaboration of wine and to make it compatible with a progressive incorporation of the best technological advancements.
History
The building of the Cooperative Winery Espolla was inaugurated on November 8, 1931. Its architect Pelai Martinez drew his inspiration from the great “Wine Cathedrals” in the Tarragona region. The project was originally planned by the Agricultural Syndicate of Espolla, founded by local winegrowers in 1906. More than a hundred years of the winery’s history mirror the transformation of the village Espolla and also that of an agricultural activity, the making of wine and olive oil, which still is part of the identity of this corner of the Alt Empordà.
