About Us
Our Foundations in Navarra, Spain
Our story at Corella Spirits is deeply rooted in the fertile vineyards of Corella, Navarra, where our family has long been devoted to cultivating the grapes that contribute to some of Spain and Navarra's most distinguished wines. This legacy, rich in agricultural tradition and entrepreneurial spirit, has profoundly influenced our mission at Corella Spirits. Our endeavor extends beyond the vineyards, embracing our father's legacy of sharing our rich cultural heritage and the spirit of the land with the world.
Our Mexican Heritage
Spanning from the bustling streets of Mexico City to the rugged landscapes the story of our heritage and roots unfolds, a narrative rich in business-minded drive and cultural depth. This journey through Mexico's heartlands, from coastal allure to historical significance, is marked by tales of enterprising initiative and the vibrant traditions that define our families. Our parents' transformative ventures and enduring influence inspire our mission at Corella Spirits.
Our Home and Inspiration
Georgia, with its lush landscapes and warm Southern hospitality, has become the fertile ground for our family's dreams and the burgeoning growth of Corella Spirits. As U.S. citizens, we have established our roots here, where the state's rich traditions and spirit of innovation have allowed our two sons to thrive and where we've discovered a community that resonates with our values of camaraderie and shared heritage. This nurturing environment, emblematic of both ingenuity and resilience, stands as a living testament to the American dream.
