If you are not renting a place but staying in a hotel, and we can't do the private wine tasting at your own place, do not worry, there is still a possibility. I have an arrangement with a local restaurant where we can do the tasting in their terrace, overseeing Vejer. This restaurant has an incredible variety of Andalusian wines and sherries and delicious Andalusian food. It will also allow us to provide warm tapas prepared by them paired with each wine.

Look what other guests had to say about us
Explore la Tierra provided an exceptional and informative sherry and tapa tasting at our rental apartment this last week. They had the best customer service/experience we have received in the last 10 months of touring Spain and we used many similar services. Carlos arrived at our apartment with all the local tapas and sherry along with supplies to make a very memorable evening for our group of 5. Carlos’s knowledge of the local food, drinks and the area around Vejer was vast and exceptional. He spoke excellent English and Spanish. We are figuring out what tour to take next with Explore la Tierra!
