A Family Legacy

The beginnings of Santa Ema date back to the early 20th century when Mr. Pedro Pavone Voglino, an Italian immigrant, sportsman, and businessman, discovered in Isla de Maipo a Terroir where our headquarters still stand today.

The founder, along with his son Félix Pavone Arbea, a great entrepreneur and visionary, started the wine company Vinos Santa Ema in 1956. They equipped it with advanced industrial infrastructure for the development and management of high-quality bottled wines.

Since then, Santa Ema has opened up to Chile and the world, beginning its exports in a solid and uninterrupted growth process that now reaches over 40 destination countries in the hands of the third and fourth generations of the family.

If there is something that characterizes the spirit, mission, and vision of Vinos Santa Ema, which still belongs to the Pavone Family, now in its fourth generation, it is the full and sustained adherence to the following fundamental values:

Commitment.

Quality.

Respect.

Honesty.

Responsibility.
