Ventosa auctions an ancient heritage winery with a starting bid of 938 euros

The Ventosa City Council has opened the auction for the disposal of a municipally owned property, an industrial building linked to the municipality’s winery district. The decision was adopted via the Mayoral resolution of November 6, 2026, and the announcement is published in the Official Gazette of La Rioja number 220, dated November 13, 2026, within the V. Announcements section, under the official reference BOR-A-20261113-V–582 (V.582).

The procedure is processed under case file number 48/2026 and is aimed at the sale of a property that the Council considers to be currently unused. The public auction is the planned route for the disposal of heritage assets that are not designated for a public service; therefore, the award will be resolved in favor of whoever presents the best economic offer within the timeframe and conditions set forth in the specifications.

Base price and economic conditions

The bidding price is set at 938 euros, excluding VAT. This amount constitutes the starting price of the auction and the minimum reference upon which the economic proposals of interested parties must be articulated. The documentation and information of the case file can be obtained through the municipal transparency portal linked in the announcement.

A 1968 property in the winery district

The asset subject to the auction is an industrial-use building constructed approximately in the year 1968, developed across two floors above ground with an approximate built area of 50 square meters. Its primary use is as a winery, a traditional activity in the neighborhood where it is located.

• Plot area: 25 m²
• Built area: 50 m²
• Number of floors: two
• Occupancy status: currently unused

The availability of the four basic urban services and road access reduces the conditioning costs for a potential buyer, although the interior state of conservation or possible pending renovations are not detailed in the announcement.

Fifteen business days to submit offers

The deadline for submitting offers will be 15 business days starting from the day following the publication of the announcement in the Official Gazette of La Rioja, meaning the closing will occur in early December 2026. Proposals should preferably be submitted through the electronic office of the Ventosa City Council.

However, persons who are not required to interact with the Administration by electronic means and who opt for paper submission may do so at the City Council headquarters, located at Plaza Santa Coloma de Ventosa, during public office hours, in accordance with article 14 of Law 39/2015, of October 1, on the Common Administrative Procedure of Public Administrations.

The opening of the bids will take place on the first working Wednesday following the end of the deadline, at 1:00 PM. The announcement appears signed by the Mayor-President, Ricardo Velasco García, in Ventosa, on November 6, 2026.

A purchasing opportunity for residents and investors

The auction puts up for sale a small property of heritage value in a small Riojan municipality, with a starting price of 938 euros and use as a wine cellar, placing it within reach of individuals and small investors. For the City Council, the operation means obtaining income and disposing of an asset that remains unused, while for interested parties, the appeal will depend on the conditions of the specifications and the actual state of the building, which is not detailed in the published announcement.
