People

What we feel most proud of at Finca Collado is, without a doubt, our team. We are a very committed group, dedicated to the project and we all share some essential virtues: We like to work and, even more, enjoy doing it. And whenever possible, we do both at once. And even though each has our function, we will all do everthing at one time or another. We like it like that because it keeps us up to date with everything that happens in the winery and because it brings us new points of view which help us to progress..

Joan Guia

Joan Guia WINEMAKER AND MANAGER

Joan Guia is the soul of the project. Passionate about the vineyard and wine, and its close relationship with culture and history. He has a restless mind, always planning and devising new and original projects. In fact, he always seems between chaos and calm, but it is simply that his head does not stop churning with everything that he has to handle and we are surprised by his ability to make decisions in a matter of seconds. He is a tireless reader, very responsible in everything he does and enjoys seeing happiness in others.

Samuel Castelló BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER

Samuel Castelló has an out-of-the-box capability to have a good time and to make it a good time for others. His passion is spearfishing and everything to do with the sea, until it comes to the moment of enjoying a good meal in good company (with a good wine, of course). If we have such a good time working at Finca Collado, it is partly because of the positive energy that Samuel transmits.

But, above all what she likes best is laughing. Even at herself. Lover of gastronomy and wine culture and of travelling, technicalities and hyperbole are not for her. Frank, clear and direct, emotions are her guide.
