The experience

The tour starts with a local guide walking you through Jerez's oldest quarters. You'll see the Alcázar's 12th-century Almohad walls, the Cathedral's mix of Gothic and Baroque styles, and the Plaza del Arroyo: one of the largest squares inside the Islamic city walls. The guide points out the Bertemati and Conde de Puertohermoso palaces, the Mudejar church of San Dionisio, and the Alameda Vieja, a green space that once surrounded the fortress. The route covers the city's layers: Islamic foundations, Renaissance additions, and later Neoclassical rebuilds, all visible in the same blocks.

After the city walk, you head to one of Jerez's historic wineries. A short film explains the region's brandy and wine history, then you board a train that runs through the vineyard itself. The winery visit centers on the criaderas and soleras system: the stacked wooden barrels where Sherry ages and develops its character over years. You walk among century-old warehouses and see how the wines move between levels as they mature. The tasting follows: three selected Sherry wines, each one chosen to show the range the region produces.

The winery has a shop where you can buy bottles to take home. Wheelchair access is available throughout both the city tour and the winery. If you're traveling with children, they can join from age 5 onward. Infants can ride in a stroller. Note that from January through March, the winery portion runs in Spanish only, though the city tour itself may be split between English and Spanish depending on the group.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English and Spanish.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (5 to 11 years). Children under 5 can't be included in the booking.

What exactly is the criaderas and soleras system I'll see at the winery?

The criaderas and soleras system is the method Jerez wineries use to age and blend Sherry. Wines sit in wooden barrels stacked in tiers. As they mature, wine from older barrels moves down and younger wine moves up, creating a continuous blend. You'll walk among these century-old warehouse racks during the winery visit and see how the system works in practice.

Does the tour include transportation from my hotel?

No, the tour does not include hotel pickup. You'll meet the guide at a set point in Jerez. Public transportation options are available nearby if you're staying in the city, and the winery provides its own transport once you arrive there.

Can I bring my five-year-old on this tour?

Yes, children from age 5 are welcome. Younger children can join in a stroller or pram. Keep in mind that the wine tasting itself is for adults only. The minimum drinking age is 18.

What's included in the wine tasting at the end?

The tasting includes three selected Sherry wines chosen to show the range of the region's production. You'll taste them after the winery tour and have the chance to buy bottles from the on-site shop if you'd like to take any home.

Is the city tour in English, or do I need Spanish?

The guide can lead in English or Spanish depending on the group. From January through March, the winery portion runs in Spanish only, though the city walking tour may still be split between both languages.
