The origins of Bodegas Torre Oria

About Us

Our origins date back to 1897, with the founding of the winery by the Oria de Rueda family in the Utiel-Requena wine region. Since then, we have been a pioneering winery: the first to obtain the Cava Designation of Origin outside the Penedès, a visionary milestone that has shaped our trajectory.

However, it is our most recent history —since 2013, with the incorporation of a new management team— that defines who we are today and the path we are projecting into the future.

Our entrepreneurial mindset, agile approach, and flexible attitude set us apart in a traditionally conservative sector. This way of understanding the business has enabled us to build strong commercial relationships in more than 40 countries, achieve sustained growth over the past decade, and position ourselves among the top 20 Spanish wineries.

Driven by an obsession for quality and a deep commitment to service, we develop products that respond to real market demands, delivering tangible value to our clients and strategic partners.

TODAY

A winery with a global vision

More than a century later, Torre Oria remains in Requena—yet its focus is global. Our legacy now fuels innovation, allowing us to craft bespoke and exclusive wines for every client.

Where we Are

We are based in Requena, in the southeast of Valencia, a region with a winemaking tradition that dates back thousands of years, and a unique terroir shaped by altitude, climate and soil.

Torre Oria was founded here in 1897, when the Oria de Rueda family relocated their silk trade from the port of Valencia inland, transforming their legacy into a benchmark of wine excellence.
