Sherry Wine Tasting Tour in Jerez from Marbella

Duration: 9 hours

Explore Jerez on a day trip from Marbella, visit a winery and taste different Sherry wines. Have lunch in a typical winery with live flamenco.

Description

This private tour of wineries in Jerez is the best way to discover the famous wine region of Jerez, where Jerez wines have been produced for hundreds of years and are internationally recognized.

Jerez is one of the best known Spanish wines, and its production dates back to around 200 BC. The Phoenicians introduced winemaking to Cádiz and began the tradition of Jerez wines, which with some modifications has survived to this day.

Any of the visits to the wineries that we will visit first includes a short film or an audiovisual show in which its fabulous history is presented to us. Next, a guide leads you through the impressive barrel hives, explaining the “criadera” and “solera” system used to blend different vintages, and the difference between finos secos, amontillados, and olorosos. The excursion ends in the sacristy with a tasting of different wines prepared by the venenciador with a glass attached to a slender bar, like an extension of his arm.

Our personal driver will pick you up at your hotel or residence in a luxury car and drive you in style to some of the best wineries in Jerez. During your private visit to the vineyards you will be guided by a wine expert, who will teach you about the history of the wineries and their different ways of producing wine in Jerez. This private wine tour lasts approximately 8 hours for a minimum of two people. The final itinerary may vary depending on the availability of the wineries and your preferences.

We can also organize excursions for larger groups and different itineraries. Why also a visit to the Royal Equestrian School?
