Sherry Wine Tasting in Seville: 5 wines with local bites

Sherry tastes completely different when you learn how it's made.

A 90-minute sherry wine tasting in Seville where you sample five distinct types of this Andalusian wine paired with marinated olives, local cheese and Iberian sausage, guided by an expert who walks you through the production process and regional history. The experience is wheelchair accessible, open to ages 18 and up, and you choose from eight options at checkout—some add a refill, orange wine, paired ice cream, white sangria or cold appetizers to the core tasting.

The Experience

You arrive with a free afternoon in Seville and no plan beyond wanting to taste something real. The guide meets you and walks through five distinct sherries, each one made differently and paired with something local—marinated olives, Manchego cheese, Iberian sausage. The guide doesn't just pour; they explain what you're tasting: the production process, the varieties, why this wine tastes nothing like what you expected sherry to be. You learn the best way to drink it, not as a rule but as a choice that changes what you taste.

The whole thing runs 90 minutes, which is long enough to move through the five wines without rushing and short enough to fit into an afternoon. The guide is there in English, answering questions as they come up. At checkout you pick one of eight options—some add a refill of your favorite, others bring in orange wine, paired ice cream, white sangria or cold appetizers. The base experience is the five tastings and the food; what you add depends on what you want the afternoon to become.

The venue is wheelchair accessible, all surfaces are level, and public transportation runs nearby. You need to be 18 or older to join. If you're new to sherry or you've had it before and want to understand it, this is the move—the guide teaches you to taste it, not just drink it.
