Grape Harvest Festival

When: Late August to mid-September 2027; dates to be confirmed (to be confirmed)

Two weeks of wine in the centre of Jerez: the grape treading at the Cathedral, tastings, flamenco and horses, while the harvest is under way.

The Grape Harvest Festival (Fiestas de la Vendimia) celebrates the grape picking with two weeks of events in the centre of Jerez: tastings, flamenco and equestrian shows. The main event is the Pisa de la Uva, the traditional treading of the grapes, on the steps and terrace of the Cathedral.

In 2026 it ran from 29 August to 13 September, with the grape treading on 1 September. The 2027 dates have not been published yet (to be confirmed).

It is a good time to visit the sherry bodegas, as the harvest is under way. Mirador Jerez and Mirador Sherry are next to the González Byass (Tío Pepe) bodegas, less than 10 minutes’ walk from the Cathedral; Loft, La Casa del Parral and Mirador Torresoto are also a short walk away.

In September the Real Escuela Andaluza del Arte Ecuestre usually hosts competitions such as the King’s Cup of Doma Vaquera (Spanish working-style dressage); you can combine it with the harvest festival (to be confirmed).
