Sherry, horses and flamenco: Jerez de la Frontera is famous for its Spanish Riding School, its cathedrals resemble bodegas and its rustic flamenco bars.
The inhabitants honour the world-famous wine, to which the city gave its name, with a 20-day harvest festival.

Even the Phoenicians cultivated vines in the region around Jerez de la Frontera - more than 3000 years ago. Whether it was also the seafaring people who added high-proof alcohol to the wine and thus stopped the fermentation process is unknown. In any case, the method turned a flat, trivial white into an incredibly complex drink that connoisseurs all over the world appreciate.

The sherry can only be produced in the so-called sherry triangle between Jerez de la Frontera, Sanlúcar de Barrameda and El Puerto de Santa María.
The undisputed capital of wine is Jerez de la Frontera, where some of the most famous bodegas such as González Byass or Domecq have their headquarters.

The Jerez Vintage Festival pays homage to the region's most famous product with a festival lasting several days - with sherry tastings and bodega visits, workshops and lectures, flamenco evenings and open-air concerts. Horse shows and parades.
There are more than 100 events throughout the city.

One of the many highlights is the grape stamping in front of the cathedral. The first harvest of the year is brought in, kicked to must, which is distributed to the waiting crowd.
There is also a market where you can buy products from the region.
