Cooperativa de Garriguella: wine and ice cream pairing

Cooperativa de Garriguella: wine and ice cream pairing

A unique experience in the heart of the Empordà

In the heart of the Alt Empordà, where the mountains melt into the sea and the tramontana wind caresses the vineyards, you'll find the Cooperativa Agrícola de Garriguella. Founded in 1963 by a group of local winegrowers, this cooperative is a living example of the area's winemaking tradition and a must-visit for wine tourism lovers.

🏡 A history with deep roots

The Cooperativa Garriguella was born from the joint effort of small producers who decided to join forces to modernise their processes, share resources and make wines that reflect the essence of the land. Today, with more than 60 years of history and over 160 hectares of vineyards, they work with varieties such as Garnacha, Tempranillo, Merlot, Syrah and Macabeo. All within the renowned DO Empordà.

🍨 An unexpected pairing: wine and ice cream

One of this winery's most original ideas is pairing wines with artisan ice creams. The result? A refreshing, surprising play of contrasts.

Imagine a young white wine paired with lemon ice cream, or a sweet wine served with frozen red berries. Experiences like this break the mould and have become a fun, different way to discover Empordà wine.

An ideal activity if you're looking to explore the flavours of the best Empordà wines from a creative angle, going beyond the typical wine tasting.

🧀 A cheese tasting to give as a gift (or to treat yourself)

The cooperative also offers an exquisite Catalan cheese tasting, ideal as a gift or to enjoy with no excuses needed. It features carefully selected local products, paired with their wines.

Perfect for anyone looking for a tasty, friendly and authentic experience at one of the Empordà wineries with the most history.

🍇 Wine cooperatives: much more than wine

Wine cooperatives have been key to the rural development of many Spanish regions. According to the INE, there are more than 500 active wine cooperatives in Spain, bringing together over 100,000 winegrowers.

This model has allowed many small producers to keep their farms going, produce to quality standards and enter the market with more clout. Visiting the Cooperativa Agrícola de Garriguella also means getting to know a fundamental part of the area's social and economic fabric.
