Jerez old town for foodies | walking tour
Jerez is a fascinating city to discover through a food and wine walking tour. Its compact urban structure features a core of Hispanic-Muslim origin surrounded by majestic evidences of a once booming and legendary wine industry that pushed the economy of the city until making it one of the most prosperous in Europe.
This tour will take us through the narrow winding streets of the former Moorish medina and to the bourgeois quarters that first emerged outside the old city walls.
Along our walking tour, we will take a few stops to understand the important role that food and wine have always played in the history, culture and economy of the city.
We will have a typical Andalusian breakfast. We will visit an artisanal Sherry bodega where we will do some tastings and we will venture into some genuine bars serving quality tapas. There we will learn the local art of pairing food and Sherry and of course we won’t finish the tour without a sweet treat we’ll get in a unique shop.
This tour is ideal for people willing to see and experience the most local aspects of Jerez through a food and wine tour.
*Please note that we also have a sherry day trip to Jerez that you can take from Seville, Cadiz or Marbella amongst other cities as well as an extended 3-day tour of the Sherry Triangle.
