Designed in New York. Made in Spain. The Story of IYLIA (Why I Chose Spain for IYLIA)

When I set out to create the IYLIA Premium Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Collection, the question wasn’t where should I produce it? The answer came naturally: Spain.

Spain is not just where our beverages are crafted — it’s where the very soul of IYLIA was born.

A Legacy of Craftsmanship

Spain has a centuries-old tradition of winemaking and viticulture. From its rolling vineyards to its sun-drenched climate, the country is renowned for producing wines with extraordinary flavor, texture, and character. Choosing Spain meant embracing that legacy while reimagining it for a new generation of mindful consumers.

The Perfect Blend of Tradition and Innovation

When I began researching the non-alcoholic category in 2020, I found very few options that offered both taste and sophistication. Many products were flat, flavorless, or lacked dimension.

Spain gave us the opportunity to merge traditional winemaking expertise with modern technology — specifically the vacuum distillation process that removes alcohol while preserving the body, aroma, and complexity of the wine.

The result? A sparkling collection with 0.0% alcohol, but with all the elegance, texture, and celebration you expect from a premium bottle.

A Land That Inspires

For me, Spain is more than a place of production. It’s a place of inspiration. The warmth of its people, the richness of its culture, and the vibrancy of its landscapes all inform what IYLIA stands for:

  • Elegance you can taste

  • Authenticity you can trust

  • Celebration without compromise

Designed in New York, Made in Spain

IYLIA reflects my journey between two worlds — the creativity and energy of New York, paired with the artistry and craftsmanship of Spain. Every bottle proudly bears this dual identity: “Designed in New York, Made in Spain.”

Why Spain Matters to You

By choosing Spain as the home of IYLIA, we ensure that every glass of our Premium Non-Alcoholic Rosé and Premium Gold embodies authenticity, quality, and care. It’s not just about where it’s made — it’s about the love, culture, and dedication poured into every bottle.

So, when you raise a glass of IYLIA, you’re not only celebrating life’s special moments. You’re also toasting to Spain’s tradition, craftsmanship, and spirit of innovation.

From Alicante to All of Spain

When I first began developing the collection, production started in the Alicante region along Spain’s central eastern coast. Known for its warm climate, fertile vineyards, and rich winemaking heritage, Alicante was the perfect place to bring the first bottles of IYLIA to life.

Today, the collection has expanded, and we now produce across various regions of Spain, each contributing its own unique character and craftsmanship to our products.

Spain’s Unique Landscape

What makes Spain truly remarkable is its incredible diversity of terrain. In one country, you can find it all:

  • Golden beaches kissed by the Mediterranean and Atlantic

  • Snow-capped mountains that feel worlds away

  • Arid deserts that stretch for miles

  • Lush green forests that take your breath away

Spain is like a living color palette. In fact, I often say you could take a Pantone trip here. Every region, every landscape, every shade of green or gold inspires the work we do at IYLIA.

Tradition Meets Innovation

This diversity also extends to the people and their craft. Spain’s centuries-old winemaking tradition merges with modern innovation, making it the perfect environment for producing premium non-alcoholic sparkling beverages.

By working across multiple regions, we’re able to honor Spain’s heritage while ensuring the highest quality for every bottle of IYLIA Rosé and IYLIA Gold.

Spain at the Heart of IYLIA

Spain isn’t just where we produce our collection. It’s a constant source of inspiration, authenticity, and artistry. From Alicante to regions across the country, every bottle carries with it the story of Spain’s landscapes, traditions, and passion.

And that’s why every glass of IYLIA is more than just a drink — it’s a celebration of Spain itself.
