Since 1898

The history of the Roqueta family is closely tied to that of the region of Bages. The Roqueta family itself dates back to the 12th century, but records point to their working the vines as far back as in Roman times.
In 1898, driven by his family’s long dedication to the cultivation of the vine and innate passion for the art of wine making, Ramón RoquetaTorrentó opened a retail establishment in Manresa to enable customers to purchase wines under the best of conditions. Bodegas Roqueta was just the beginning of an era to be dominated by a single goal – to adapt to changing needs and combine the family’s vast experience with the new technologies that were on their way.

Four generations dedicated to wine

Ramón Roqueta, founder of Bodegas Roqueta was succeeded by his son Valentín Roqueta Prat in 1938. Valentín’s son, Ramón Roqueta Roqueta, is now the President of the company, which is managed by his own son Valentín Roqueta Guillamet, thus confirming a passion for wine which spans four whole generations.

Four generations united by an absolute devotion to the production and retail of wines, and an undying loyalty to the roots of their family and land, despite setbacks, ever-increasing competition and industry reforms.
