The cooperatives was founded in 1957 just after a hard winter destroying nearly all olive threes in the area
For some years the name Vignerons de Caractère have been used.
In 2014 the two cooperatives in Vacqueyras and Beaumes de Venise merged in a way so it preserve the two production units but with one director, one Président, one website and one marketing organization - Rhonéa.
When wines from the two cooperatives are promoted the name Rhonéa is used. If you look at societe.com you will find another name for the merged cooperatives Vignerons des Dentelles.
In 2016 around 80 members of the cooperative in Vacqueyras delivered grapes for a production of Gigondas and first of all Vacqueyras when it's left for Balma Venita to make Beaumes de Venise, Muscat de Beaumes de Venise and Ventoux.

Vignerons de Caractère has for several years vinified wines from single producers and marketed these wines. This has probably been helpfull in keeping the producers loyal to the cooperative.
