WE ARE A COMMITTED
COMPANY
En Vallformosa somos una compañía responsable y sostenible en todas nuestras acciones. Estamos comprometidos con el cuidado de nuestro entorno natural y social.
COMMITMENT TO THE TERRITORY
We are nature and territory.
Our responsibility is to preserve both.
+500
In the highest area of the Penedés, more than 500 meters above sea level, there is a splendid area of vineyards. Known as the "Zone +500", this environment is home to a unique natural biodiversity in the Penedés where the vineyards are naturally found between hills and mountains. Vallformosa collaborates directly in conservation programs for this space and in the recovery of autochthonous varieties that adapt to the conditions of land and altitude.
The grapes from this mountainous area ripen more slowly thanks to the day-night temperature difference which gives them high-quality organoleptic features.
PROJECT PLUS
Vallformosa's technical team analyses different plots throughout the year to find the best vineyards. They involve strains with many years of history, planted freely, without trellis and with a low yield. Their fruits are excellent and give us the highest quality to our products.
These plots are part of the Vallformosa Plus project, which allows us long-term collaboration with wine growers committed to nurturing and delivering quality grapes, with a guarantee of total traceability and with special technical support from Vallformosa.
INNOVATION IN THE TERRITORY
The quality of our wines and sparkling wines is controlled from the beginning of the vineyard cycle. To maintain this quality in a homogeneous way, we use technologies and drones to monitor the growth and ripening of grapes. In addition, the technical team is in charge of visiting and designing the phytosanitary and vegetative actions in each and every one of the plots. Finally, in the wine growers department, and through the open channels of the Yo Soy Vallformosa Club (I am Vallformosa Club) , they design educational and training materials.
COMMITMENT TO PEOPLE
The work of our more than
500 winegrowers it's our essence
CLUB VALLFORMOSA
The work of our more than 500 winegrowers is the essence of Vallformosa. The grape that they cultivate meticulously throughout the year is the base of all our wines and cavas. This is a close relationship that was born with the Yo Soy (I am) Vallformosa Club, a constant meeting place between the winery and the winegrowers. All our winegrowers and their families are part of this Club, where they have access to different services and advantages. We are family!
AN INCLUSIVE COMPANY
Vallformosa is an inclusive company and collaborates with different workforce inclusion projects for people with disabilities, mental health conditions and other groups at risk of exclusion, creating opportunities for community and entry to the labour market. We have collaborated with "Mas Alborná" and the "ARED Foundation” on different inclusive projects.
COMMITMENT TO QUALITY
The quality of our wines and sparkling wines
are controlled from the vineyard, focusing on their origin.
WE MAKE 100%
OF THE GRAPE MUST
The quality of our wines and sparkling wines are controlled from the vineyard, focusing on their origin. To maintain this traceability and quality control, all our products are made exclusively, using must from the grapes harvested at our winery.

Periodically, all proposals are analyzed and the most productive ones are put into operation.
Vallformosa was born when the vineyards closest to the Masía La.Sala in Vilobí del Penedès, Barcelona, began to be cultivated.
Phylloxera disease devastates the
entire vineyard in the Penedés region.
Vallformosa is one of the pioneers
in the replanting of uncontaminated strains. The winery
receives recognition from Alfonso XIII who visited
the facilities in 1904.
Vallformosa begins to make
bulk wine.
The first bottles of
Vallformosa cava are made.
"La Sala" facilities are expanded with
two new and innovative
bottling lines.
Major investments made to
implement the latest technologies in
the production and warehouse lines.
BEST WINERY OF THE YEAR AT VINARI AWARDS 2020, 2021 & 2022
We want our customers, buyers, distributors, consumers, in short? everyone can recognise us wherever they go, because if you fancy a Freyé wine or a Mistinguett sparkling wine, did you know that they are the same brand? You probably do, but there are many people who do not.
During the 5th, 6th and 7th of February we were present at the Barcelona Wine Week 2024, with a new image. Vallformosa is a unique business model, where people are the essential and most important part.
