Rhonéa

It all began with just a handful of visionary and passionate families who laid the foundation for the village wineries from the 1920s through the early 1960s. Their guiding principle? To create a shared enterprise that harnesses everyone’s talents to provide the best conditions for winemaking, aging, and marketing. Over the years, these community-driven projects have grown in scale and significance. Today, these families form an innovative “new-generation” cooperative model known as Rhonéa. United by the same passion and unique in their history, they pass down their expertise through the generations. They know their terroirs, their vineyards, and their grape varieties inside and out, bringing out the very best in them. Vintage after vintage, they are committed to ethical and sustainable viticulture. 

As a business model perfectly suited to today’s economic, social, and environmental challenges, Rhonéa places artisan winemakers at the heart of its governance and development projects. With a team of 110 employees—experts in their fields from vineyard management to marketing—they share the same values: solidarity, mutual support, respect for the environment, and a spirit of innovation to craft high-quality wines that ensure the best balance between fair prices for consumers and fair compensation for producers.
