Located between Valence and Lyon, Cave de Tain lies at the foot of the Hermitage hillside. At the heart of the historic northern Rhône vineyards, the Cave produces and markets 5 “cru” wines and single varietal Vins de Pays from over 1000 hectares of vines (appellations Hermitage, Crozes Hermitage, Saint Joseph, Cornas and Saint Peray), making it the leading producer of “cru” wines in the northern Rhône Valley.
Founded more than 25 years ago in the Beaujolais region, today the Terra Vitis association manages one of the leading certifications for the wine sector, and the only national certification for sustainable viticulture.
Thanks to our certification and strict specifications, we have an on-going commitment to sustainable viticulture. Each and every one of our actions is designed to achieve the best possible balance between respect for the environment, for society as a whole, and for the economic sustainability of wine estates. The Terra Vitis growers’ goal can be described as a commitment to making quality wine, in the best possible way, now and in the future.
