La Riojana co-operative is the largest producer of certified Fairtrade wine in the world, and we were Argentina’s first winery to be Fairtrade certified in 2006.

Our winery and many of our co-operative growers are situated in the agriculturally rich La Rioja province, but there are many remote rural communities within the region which lacked basic needs such as access to regular clean drinking water, a good education and healthcare.

We have been able to use money raised through the Fairtrade Premium scheme to invest in key healthcare, educational, social and community projects, not just benefiting our own members and workers but also the surrounding community.
