Scenic drive to Jerez de la Frontera

Depart from the port of Sevilla and be provided a panoramic tour before you leave the city behind and drive approximately an hour to Jerez de la Frontera. The charming Andalusian town of Jerez de la Frontera is well-known for its sherry wine, its origins extending back nearly 3000 years. The production of sherry wine closely follows the region's political history, influenced by the Phoenician, Greek, Roman, Moorish, Spanish and British empires and was extended to Puerto de Santa Maria.

Cellars of Bodegas Osborne, Sherry Tasting & Local Tapas

Next, visit the cellars or bodegas as they are called in Puerto de Santa Maria. During this guided tour through the wine cellar Bodegas Osborne. Visit the historic wineries and learn firsthand about the winemaking process behind our estate's greatest treasures. Taste the finest wines, find out about the traditional production of our Iberian pork products and enjoy the visit in Osborne's most emblematic cellars.

Walk through the labyrinthic corridors formed by aging-wine barrels. Some of those barrels, called "bota" are over 200 years old and are not on sale as they have an emotional meaning for the company. You will have the unique opportunity to taste wines and appetizers such as the best-awarded ham in the world Jamon 5J and Caña de Lomo 5J (loin cane), served in the room where the Osborne Family still meets today. At the end of the visit, you will have the opportunity to buy local products of Osborne. Enjoy these specialties accompanied in the background by a flamenco guitar player.
