“We are the legacy of the cooperatives in the Priorat region”
This is our first cooperative project among the cooperatives promoting sustainable development through social economy.
The cooperatives that form part of Vincloop work hand in hand to improve our production processes, while at the same time carrying out social initiatives of regional interest.
We are the joint efforts of farmers born and raised in the Priorat region, and we want to continue growing together, without leaving anyone behind and giving
A bond that unites
us with our land
We are farm families that have lived here all our lives. We’re the ones who have cultivated these lands with our own hands. We’re the ones who appreciate our home and want to take care of it so that it does not lose its essence.
For more than 100 years, the town cooperatives have been in charge of looking after the needs of both the residents and the region.
But now everything has changed: we face new challenges. New objectives.
And the cooperatives want to continue to stand side by side with our people.
Vincloop is the response to this need: the link that joins the cooperatives in the Priorat region, to care for our land, to make our products accessible to others and to tackle all the challenges that are in store for us.
Together.
We share people, efforts, resources and methodologies to promote our territory.
economy
We reinvest a large part of our profits into improving the living conditions for the region’s residents.
We make it possible for the region’s residents to earn a living by cultivating their land.
We facilitate access to local, quality products at a fair price for both consumers and farmers.
Cooperative products with certified quality
Made from local ingredients, with all the flavor of the region where they are grown.
Produced with traditional processes that pay attention to every last detail.
Vincloop wines, vermouths and oils are made at the cooperatives, but with the same quality guarantees as those offered by major wineries. This is why our products have earned a designation of origin.
Denominación de Origen Calificada Priorat
Grape vines grown at an altitude of more than 100 meters (up to 750 m), in slate soils with slopes of as much as 60%.This forces us to work on hillsides where industrial machinery can’t be used.
The result? Wines produced according to the most traditional processes, which give then a unique identity and personality throughout the world.

A project by the people, for the people
At Vincloop, It’s clear to us: people are more important than capital. That’s why we return the fruits of our labor to the workers, to society and to the territories that make it possible.
Our structure is democratic and participative, and from it, 4 main pillars of the project have emerged: strengthening the region, pooling infrastructures, helping the partners to cultivate the land and promoting the value of cooperativism.
Based on these pillars, we innovate each and every day to promote the social and economic growth of the Priorat region.
Improving traceability and viability
We ensure the sustainability and quality of our products through precise control over all processes.
The adoption of advanced technologies and innovative practices allow us to set high standards that reinforce transparency and trust among both our partners and our customers.
Promoting a renewable energy community
We promote active participation by our members and cooperation with experts in the sector to create a local energy model that is resilient and respectful of the environment.
One of the strategic areas in this sense is the promotion of sustainable solar energy projects and other clean sources.
Offering alternative homes
We study sustainable living alternatives that are comfortable and promote a community lifestyle in urban and rural settings in the region.
We use this study to develop a range of customized solutions that help future residents of the Priorat region to overcome the challenge posed by difficult access to housing.
Building strong cooperative governance
We cooperate with one another and make decisions that foster transparency, cohesion and the mutually beneficial growth of all the cooperatives that form part of the Vincloop project.
Through a framework of shared governance, we strive to optimize resources, production processes and the marketing of our products.
Offering services to our members
We make a wide range of specialized services available to our members, designed to improve their competitiveness.
These services can include personalized advisement, ongoing training and access to advanced technological resources. This all has one objective: to promote the growth and success of our members’ projects.
Facilitating generational change
We encourage generational renewal with mentoring programs, specific training and continuous support for new members of our cooperatives.
The cooperative spirit is essential for the future of the region, and for that reason we attempt to ensure a harmonious, successful transition from generation to generation, preserving the knowledge acquired over the years.
Defining a joint commercial strategy
We increase the presence and competitiveness of the products from our cooperatives in the market.
To do this, we make the most of the synergies that exist between the different agricultural cooperatives and design joint marketing strategies that facilitate the purchase of all their products by the end user.
Promoting a joint agricultural tourism project
We offer visitors full immersion in the culture and local traditions, combining the agricultural production experience of the region with the charm of rural tourism.
We abide by responsible tourism standards to ensure the sustainability and conservation of our unique environment.
The cooperatives that make it possible
Century-old cooperatives from the Priorat region, they are experts in the production of wine, oil and vermouth.
More than 800 workers have joined forces to promote our region, and we’ll soon be even more.
Falset Marçà Cooperative
(DO Montsant)
It is the result of the merger between the Marçà and Falset cooperatives, in two neighboring towns 3 short kilometers down the road from one another. Their main activity is the production of quality wine, vermouth and oil.
The project began over one hundred years ago, and constant efforts towards innovation have been made since then. The cooperative continues to innovate in the present day, inside its facilities known as the “Wine Cathedral”.
Vinícola del
Priorat
(DOQ Priorat)
Located in the heart of the region, it is the heir to the local cooperatives in the towns of Gratallops, Lloar, Vilella Alta and Vilella Baixa, founded from 1917 on.
These old cooperatives today make up a single winery, and more than 140 families are behind this project specialized in wine production, with more than 300 small plots and 500 hectares of production.
Cooperativa de Cabacés
(DO Siurana)
Founded in 1933 by 51 local farmers, under the name of Sindicato Agrícola de Cabacés. Today, the cooperative covers practically the entire local olive production.
The cooperative produces high quality extra virgin olive oil under the DOP Siurana. It is also known for the production of organic extra virgin olive oil, which currently accounts for 30% of the production, and is on the increase.
