Half Day Shore Excursion to Jerez de la Frontera Vineyard & Winery

Wine has been closely tied to the Iberian Peninsula since ancient times, and this region is no exception. That being said, one particular variety stands out: Sherry. An enologist friend of mine says that when you drink wine, you're not only tasting fermented grapes, but also the soil, the sun & the rain that shaped them. Tasting wine is therefore tasting the land itself. Jerez de la Frontera, home to Sherry wine, is also the most important trading centre & largest city in the province of Cádiz. On this tour, I'll show you the vineyard where the grapes are grown & accompany you inside a traditional bodega in the centre of Jerez de la Frontera, where the final stages of wine-making take place. We'll also explore the highlights of this city, known for its convents & Baroque architecture, in a relaxed experience designed to engage all your senses. Note: Although our required walking for this tour is minimal, since the vineyard ground may be muddy, please contact me in advance in case of reduced mobility.

-After picking you up, we'll drive for about 30 minutes to a vineyard just outside Jerez de la Frontera. -Upon arrival, we'll visit the grape plantations where you'll earn about the wine-making processing techniques applied before harvesting (we'd spend around 45 mins here). -We'll then take a short drive to a small bodega in the city centre, where you'll see the final stages of wine production and enjoy a tasting of 4 Sherry wines. -After our bodega visit, we'll head to Jerez de la Frontera for a short walk where we'll cover Plaza del Arenal, Plaza de la Asunción & the facade of the main Cathedral. Upon request and at no extra charge, we could drive in between the aforementioned city landmarks if you preferred not to walk much. I'd be happy to customize your visit so don't hesitate to contact me before booking if you have special requests. -At last, I'll drive you back to where I picked you up from.
