🇪🇸 Jerez - The Homeland of Sherry Casks

Tio Pepe isn’t just a winery—it’s a cultural experience, crowned as Spain’s Best Sherry Bodega 2024! 🏆 After a morning watching equestrian shows (a must-do in Jerez 🐎), we arrived at the bodega to find… no one at the ticket office! Turns out, tickets only go on sale at 4 PM, with the first English tour starting at 4:30 PM. We opted for the €32 tour, which included: 4 glasses of sherry 🍷 (from crisp Fino to rich Oloroso) Delicious tapas 🧀 (perfect pairing!) A guided ride on their charming shuttle train 🚂 through the historic cellars Pro tip: The bodega has three entrances—make sure you enter through the ticket office gate to start the tour! Thanks to the intense Iberian sun, Jerez’s grapes are extra sweet, giving sherry its signature rich, velvety flavor. And guess what? I’m obsessed. 😍 Our tour was packed—apparently, this place is a hotspot for private events too! Why visit? ✔ Stunning architecture (that cathedral-like cellar!) ✔ Engaging storytelling (yes, even the "sherry mice" legend 🐭) ✔ Perfect blend of tradition & tourism #Spain #Andalusia #SherryWine #Jerez #SlowTravel #WineLover
