What to expect
Your guide will meet you in central Jerez and lead you through the city's notable plazas, streets and buildings, explaining their historical context and architectural features. You'll then move to the winery where the atmosphere shifts—cooler temperatures, the distinct smell of oak and ageing wine. Walking through the warehouse-like spaces, you'll see rows of barrels stacked in the traditional system. Before tasting, expect a brief explanation of how each wine was made. The three tastings follow, allowing you to notice differences in colour, aroma and flavour across the selection.
