The company’s history dates back to the decade of the 1950’s. Its founder D. Félix Solís Fernández – father of the current owners –, seeing the interesting business opportunities opening up to the region’s wine business, moved to Valdepeñas where he bought a winery. Since then the company has experienced uninterrupted growth without losing neither its origins nor its family character.
Currently Félix Solís Avantis is one of the major exporters of Spanish designation wine. It is based in Valdepeñas from where logistics, common services and marketing of the group’s brands are managed.
The two wineries that comprise the group are Félix Solís S.L. and Pagos del Rey S.L. whilst the designations under which we produce our wines are: Valdepeñas, La Mancha, Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Rueda and Toro. We also produce wines from Tierra de Castilla, generic wines, grape juice and sangrias. We market all these products in over 100 countries thanks to a significant commercial network with branches all over the world.
Among the keys that have brought the company its success are the determination to offer the best possible service, the excellent value for money of the products and the diversification to adapt to the needs of national and international clients.
