Vicente Gandía Winery was founded in 1885 by Vicente Gandía Plà. Since then, the property has kept the same name. It has also kept the essence of our passion for wine, handed down over the generations with a sole objective: to improve, year on year, the winery’s commitment to the world of wine. This was the vision of Vicente Gandía, first generation and founder of the company.
