Private Sherry Wine Tour from Seville
Jerez de la Frontera is one of the three points of the famous Sherry Triangle, along with Sanlúcar de Barrameda and El Puerto de Santa María, and there are few wine towns quite like it. Many of its historic bodegas stand in the heart of the city, so a day of wine tasting becomes a journey through old Jerez, moving between whitewashed streets, cathedral-like cellars, and the great aging halls where Sherry develops its remarkable range of styles.
And what a range it is. You might begin with a light, bone-dry Fino, move on to the nutty complexity of Amontillado or a dry Palo Cortado, then discover the deeper richness of Oloroso and, at the other end of the spectrum, the dark, concentrated sweetness of Pedro Ximénez. Inside the bodegas, you will see the solera system in action, along with the high ceilings, thick walls and traditional albero floors that help create the particular conditions in which these wines mature.
On this private wine tour from Seville, your chauffeur will take you to Jerez for two privately arranged bodega visits and tastings. The day is designed for wine lovers who want to go beyond simply tasting Sherry and understand how the different styles are made, aged, and enjoyed. Between visits, you will stop for a leisurely lunch with Jerez wines and have time to discover something of the city itself.
This is an ideal day for a couple or small group of friends who want to explore Sherry in depth without having to organize the appointments, transport, and lunch themselves. We arrange the day privately for your party, with the final winery visits, dining and guiding confirmed in advance as part of your personal itinerary.

Day 1Jerez
Lustau Sherry Bodega, Jerez
Morning Your elegant chauffeur-driven Mercedes will collect you from your hotel or prearranged meeting point and whisk you away for an unforgettable day in gorgeous Jerez de la Frontera. The first stop is at the renowned Bodegas Rey Fernando de Castilla; this award-winning winery has been taking great pride in producing elegant and contemporary wines and brandies for over 40 years, with the family tradition of wine production flowing for over two centuries.
This is a real treat for wine lovers. Your private visit explores Sherry through wines made from Palomino and Pedro Ximénez, followed by a tasting of the bodega’s Sherries and brandies. Be prepared for a full morning as you are led through the range, including Amontillado Antique, Oloroso Antique, Palo Cortado Antique, Pedro Ximenez Antique, Fino Clásico, Vermut, and Brandy Solera Gran Reserva.
Lunch After this mouthwatering tasting, you will be famished, and we have an exquisite lunch in store for you at Restaurante Almadrabía at Hotel Villa Jerez. Here you will savor regional dishes accompanied by Jerez wines in the hotel’s elegant surroundings.
After lunch, your next stop will be a private visit to Lustau. Founded in 1896, Lustau has one of the most beautiful bodegas in Jerez. You will have an extensive tasting, including some of their best wines, such as Fino del Puerto, Amontillado Los Arcos, and the outrageously good Oloroso Emperatriz Eugenia.
Next, you will delve into Jerez’s history with a private art and history guide. Visit Jerez’s Cathedral, where Gothic, Baroque and Neoclassical elements meet, and continue through the historic centre to the Plaza del Arenal.
Evening Your chauffeur will transfer you back to your hotel or next destination. This concludes your private tour of Jerez.

It’s obvious that you only visit the most friendly and personable wineries. We did enjoy the contrast of our day which featured one more family oriented winery and the other with more name recognition
It was a real treat to see what opportunities await for a winery and where another’s success had already come to be realized. What we did love was when it came to the tasting – one of the winemakers was impressed with the selection of vintages arranged for our tour! Everything meet and exceeded our expectations!
