Step into the fascinating world of Sherry
Discover why these historic wines from Southern Spain are among the most unique — and most misunderstood — in the world. Guided by a certified Sherry educator, this immersive tasting will take you through the rich heritage of the D.O. Jerez-Xérès-Sherry region and its extraordinary winemaking traditions.
You will learn how Sherry is produced using the unique solera system, understand the role of flor, and gain the confidence to navigate and enjoy these wines like a true insider. By the end of the session, ordering Sherry will never feel intimidating again — in fact, it might just become your new obsession.
What we'll do, step by step
- 01
A welcome and the lay of the land
We start with the story of the DO Jerez-Xérès-Sherry — what makes this corner of Andalusia unlike any other wine region on earth.
- 02
The solera system & the magic of flor
Learn how Sherry is built (not just made) through the solera system, and why a thin layer of yeast called flor changes everything.
- 03
Five styles, five pairings
Taste your way from bone-dry Fino through Amontillado, Oloroso and Palo Cortado, finishing on a sweeter style — each one paired with a local bite.
- 04
Order Sherry like an insider
Leave with the confidence to walk into any bar in Andalusia and order Sherry like a local. Warning: it might just become your new obsession.
What is the solera system?
The solera is the fractional ageing system that defines Sherry. Wines from different vintages are stacked in rows of barrels and only a portion is bottled each year, while the gaps are topped up with wine from the row above. The result: every bottle of Sherry contains traces of every vintage that came before it, sometimes going back decades. We'll taste through it, glass in hand, so you actually feel what that means.
Dry vs. sweet sherry: what you'll taste
Sherry is not one wine — it's a whole spectrum. We'll guide you from the bone-dry, salty Fino and Manzanilla, through the nuttier Amontillado and Palo Cortado, into the rich, oxidative Oloroso, and finish on a sweet style like Pedro Ximénez. By the end, you'll know exactly which one to order and when.
