I will go to your place and bring most of the things we will need with me. The tasting it will depend on your tastes, from Premium Sherry tasting up to Premium and VORS (Very Old Rare Sherry) tasting.

Many people think that sherry wine is just a sweet drink but there are many more varieties to learn about. You will learn the process of how to produce Spanish Sherry, biological and oxidative ageing, all the different types of Spanish Sherry, where Sherry comes from, how to do a wine tasting, and about wine and food pairing. If you want to add tapas that pair with each sherry we can also provide some delicious food pairings.
Andalusian wine / sherry tasting at a local restaurant in Vejer de la Frontera
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!

Our group of 19 agreed that our sherry tasting experience was a highlight of our trip. Carlos is knowledgeable and passionate and shared so much information with us! Not only did we learn a lot, but we had a great time.
We were staying in a large house and Carlos took care to set up our dining room for the tasting. He brought in the most delicious food pairings to go with each different sherry.
It was an amazing afternoon and without a doubt we will be back again for another sherry tasting experience. (I am sharing some photos taken by Giles from WeddingsbyGiles.com to share how awesome the day was)
