Jerez, bodegas and horses

Follow the A-4 and AP-4 south from Seville and the low ridges of the Sierra de Cádiz to Jerez de la Frontera, 92 km away, where chalky albariza soils, Palomino vines, and flamenco rhythms set the tone. Historic sherry houses dating from the 18th and 19th centuries—González Byass/Tío Pepe, Lustau, Tradición—sit a short stroll from the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art. You’re here to taste styles from Fino to Palo Cortado, see how soleras work, and watch the precision of the Carthusian horses, with the Atlantic option of Sanlúcar just 24 km further.

The day runs smoothly: hotel pickup in Seville, a Mercedes at your disposal, and a driver managing timing and access while you tour and taste. In Jerez, your private chauffeur times the equestrian show, secures quieter bodega slots, and builds in a tapas stop by the central market. You never need to drive; he waits outside courtyards lined with butts, then continues, if you wish, to Bajo de Guía in Sanlúcar for a glass of manzanilla overlooking the Guadalquivir.
