Step into the enchanting world of sherry, where history, flavor, and tradition come alive in Jerez de la Frontera. Jerez marks one of the three corners of the famed “sherry triangle.” (Sanlúcar de Barrameda and El Puerto de Santa María being the other two points). Sherry, ranging from the crisp Manzanilla to the rich Pedro Ximenez, offers a style for every palate, and it’s just a matter of trying until you discover the style for you!
A standout feature of Jerez is the wineries’ prime position within the city’s historic heart. This arrangement allows visitors to journey from one “bodega” to another, tracing paths through its ancient streets. Dive into the 17th century, when Sherry was born, when Irish and some British wine merchants were drawn to the region in search of fortified wines. Then marvel at the bodegas’ cathedral-inspired architecture, the famed solera system, and albero floors—all intricately intertwined in the process used to craft this heavenly Jerez sherry lovingly.
On this tour, you will visit two of the most renowned Sherry Bodegas and enjoy private VIP tours and tastings. After working up an appetite, enjoy a gourmet lunch paired with more fabulous Jerez wines, and stroll around the beautiful city.

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!
