Cave de Tain is a family-driven cooperative with a legacy of winegrowing that spans four generations. Located at the base of the Hermitage hill, they cultivate 22 hectares alongside additional contributions from member winegrowers, focusing exclusively on wines from their own grapes. In 2014, they invested in advanced technology to enhance wine quality across all appellations, paving the way for innovations such as organic and sulfite-free wines. Committed to sustainability, Cave de Tain also fosters a new generation of winemakers who view themselves as active contributors to the winery’s mission. To taste their wines is to experience this dedication firsthand.
