Bodegas Tradición - visit & tasting

3 Calle Cordobeses, Jerez de la Frontera, Andalucía

Description

Jerez de la Frontera is regarded as the world capital of sherry wine and many famous bodegas (wineries) are located in the town, many from British origin as the British Isles were the main consumer market for the fortified wine (just like Port wine) Bodegas Tradición offers 90mins guided tours of the property including an in-house art gallery of Spanish paintings. Visitors will get to learn about the wine making and ageing process as well as taste some of the bodega's wines.

Access & Transport

Address: C. Cordobeses, 3, 11408 Jerez de la Frontera, Cádiz The Bodegas is close to the Archaeological Museum, 800m / 10mins walk northwest of the Cathedral and Alcázar. The closest parking is on Pl. del Mercado (there are some spaces in front of the Bodega but they are likely reserved for employees)

Instructions & Recommendations

Note that the terms and conditions state the minimum age as 18yrs old since alcohol is served. There are tours available in Spanish, English and Deutsch at fixed times during the day

Meta review

The tour gets excellent reviews although a significant percentage do not read as being genuine. That being said, visitors do seem to genuinely enjoy the informative tour during which the technical aspects are complemented by some historical ones as well as a private art collection of surprisingly high quality. On the negative side, the main complaint relates to price, even back when it was "only" 30 EUR.

Environmental & Social

Environmentally neutral. Socially the cultural aspect (discovery of the terroir and wine making culture of the Jerez region) evens out the alcohol element.

Conclusion

Coming to Jerez and not visiting a Bodegas is a missed opportunity - unless alcoholic drinks are off-the radar for you of course. The sherry wine making process is indeed unique and is best discovered in the region where it was developed. The guided tours organized by Bodegas Tradición are some of the best in town but, at the current rate, they do represent poor value.

Key positive

Guided tours available in several languages

Best art collection in town

Key negative

Not family friendly

Expensive guided tours

Suitability

For adults only (18+yrs). Unclear if all areas are accessible for visitors with reduced mobility
