Sherry Tasting & Vineyard Morning with Farm Experiences & Tours | Guided Tour | Food Tour

Sanlúcar de Barrameda, situated along Cádiz’s sunlit coast in southern Spain, sits amid fertile plains known as the Campiña de Jerez. Here, the Cádiz Morning In The Vineyard Experience by Farm Experiences & Tours invites visitors into the heart of this viticultural landscape at Viña El Cuadrado. This estate is a living chapter in the region’s centuries-old tradition of sherry production, backed by the unique microclimate and limestone-rich soils that define Pago Bilbaína Alta.

This 1.5-hour morning tour begins with a guided walk through expansive vineyards, where rows of palomino grapes stretch beneath Andalusian skies. The path winds past traditional wine presses and fragrant patios dotted with indigenous flora, offering tangible insight into the careful cultivation methods that have shaped local sherry identities. Knowledgeable guides reveal how the weather, soil, and time contribute to the distinct character of wines from this terroir.

The centerpiece of the experience unfolds in Sanlúcar proper with an expertly curated tasting of four sherries, each poured straight from the barrel: from the crisp, saline Manzanilla La Gitana en Rama to the aged complexity of Palo Cortado Wellington VORS. Accompanying the tasting, an artisanal aperitif rounds out the sensory profile, bringing out nuanced flavors seldom found outside this region. This isn’t just a tasting—it’s a sensory immersion into Andalusian culture and craftsmanship.

Farm Experiences & Tours provides an authentic gateway into Cádiz’s outdoor and gastronomic offerings, connecting visitors to land, history, and local producers. The combination of walking through living vineyards and sampling prized sherries on-site makes this a distinctive stop for travelers seeking a deeper understanding of Andalucía’s celebrated heritage.
