About this tour
A full-day private wine tour from Seville to Jerez de la Frontera, visiting two established wineries with tastings of sherries, vermouth, sherry vinegar and brandy, plus a three-course lunch at a local restaurant and a walk through the old town. Designed for serious wine enthusiasts, this 8.5-hour experience combines hands-on cellar visits with food and wine education in one of Spain's most important wine regions.
Highlights
- Two winery visits: cathedral-like soleras at a heritage producer, boutique brandy cask at a smaller operation
- Taste sherries across styles, vermouth, sherry vinegar, and Spanish brandy straight from the cask
- Learn the solera ageing system and sherry production process directly from winery staff
- Three-course lunch at a traditional local restaurant with wine pairings included
- Guided stroll through Jerez's old quarter before return to Seville
- Air-conditioned private transport throughout, all fees and taxes covered
- Running since 2002 with established winery relationships
What to expect
You'll be picked up in Seville in the morning and driven to Jerez in an air-conditioned vehicle. At the first winery, expect a walkthrough of historic barrel halls where staff explain the solera system whilst you taste different sherry styles, vermouth and vinegar. The second stop is a smaller, boutique operation where you'll taste additional sherries and brandy poured fresh from oak casks. Mid-day, you'll head to a local restaurant for a seated three-course lunch with wine service included. After eating, there's time to walk around Jerez's historic centre before heading back to Seville, arriving mid-evening.
What travellers say
- Two distinct winery experiences: grand historic producer and intimate boutique operation
- Hands-on education: solera system explained in context, not lecture-style
- Brandy tasted straight from cask, not a standard offering at most tour operators
- Lunch at local restaurant included, not a generic tourist trap
- Long-established operator (since 2002) with direct winery relationships
- Full-day commitment may tire wine drinkers who prefer shorter, focused tastings
- Eight-plus hours of driving and walking isn't ideal for mobility-limited guests despite accessibility note
- No mention of non-alcoholic alternatives for designated drivers or abstainers
