El Gaitero

Flavors that tell our story

Know our history

Our story begins with a confluence of events and people. People who invested in apple orchards in Villaviciosa, people who longed for their homeland, their drinks, and their customs from distant lands, and events that enabled maritime trade from the Port of Gijón.

Since 1898, our winery has been located on the banks of the Villaviciosa estuary, in La Espuncia. Our facilities cover 40.000 square meters, encompassing the entrance area to the block, the press rooms, cellars, the bottling and packaging line; it is also home to the company offices and the building housing the Permanent Collection of El Gaitero.
