Sherry bodegas to visit in Jerez and El Puerto

In Jerez the bodegas are not out of town: they sit right in the centre, among the houses. From Mirador Jerez and Mirador Sherry you can see the roofs of González Byass, the home of Tío Pepe, and from the front door you can walk to several of the bodegas in this guide.

Almost all of them end the visit with a tasting and almost all ask you to book. Below are the ones we know, starting with those closest to the flats, plus a section on the bodegas of El Puerto de Santa María.

A few minutes from the flats

These three are a short walk from Mirador Jerez, Mirador Sherry and Mirador Torresoto, which are about 240 m apart.

Bodegas Tío Pepe (González Byass): The best-known bodega in Jerez and the one you see from the flats. The tour takes a little train through the bodega's streets, past La Concha by Eiffel and the bodega of signatures, and ends with Tío Pepe fino; the longer tours add Tío Pepe En Rama and VORS wines.; About 4 min on foot from Mirador Jerez. Several tours a day (to be confirmed); booking recommended. €€.
Bodegas Fundador (antigua Pedro Domecq) y Harveys: The oldest bodega in Jerez, next to the Cathedral, with the El Molino and La Mezquita cellars. If you are curious about brandy as well as sherry, this is the one: Fundador brandy, Harveys Bristol Cream and VORS.; About 8 min on foot from Mirador Jerez. Tue-Thu 12:00; Fri 12:00 and 19:00; Sat 11:00, 13:00 and 19:00; closed Sunday and Monday. Booking required. From €18.
Bodegas Tradición: For people who already know their sherry: only very old wines (VOS and VORS) and a private art collection with Goya, Zurbarán and Velázquez, in the San Mateo quarter. Groups of no more than 10 and about 90 minutes.; About 13 min on foot from Mirador Jerez. Booking required. €€€.

More bodegas in central Jerez

Sandeman, on Calle Pizarro, has its visitor centre temporarily closed for maintenance, according to its website, with no reopening date. We are leaving it out until it reopens.

Bodegas Lustau: Cathedral-style bodegas next to the railway station and one of the most complete tastings for the price: fino, amontillado, oloroso and Pedro Ximénez, plus their vermouth.; Calle Arcos 53. The basic tour lasts 60 min, with 5 wines and vermouth (€26). Booking recommended.
Bodegas Álvaro Domecq: A family bodega, formerly Pilar Aranda, one of the oldest in Jerez. A quieter visit than at the big houses. Try the Fino La Janda and the Amontillado 1730.; Calle Madre de Dios. Mon-Fri 10:00, 11:30 and 13:00 (to be confirmed). Booking required. €€.

Bodegas in El Puerto de Santa María

El Puerto makes sherry too. Its bodegas are in the town centre, near the river and the catamaran to Cádiz, so they pair well with lunch in town or a trip over to Cádiz.

Bodegas Osborne – Bodega de Mora: The bodega of the famous bull: the family history, gardens and a tasting. Try the Fino Quinta and the VORS wines. Toro Tapas is inside if you want to eat afterwards.; Calle Los Moros 7. About 10 min by car from Mirador Puerto Sherry. Tour times on booking (to be confirmed); booking recommended. €€.
Bodegas Gutiérrez Colosía: A family bodega since 1838, right by the catamaran pier. Friendly and personal, with a pairing of 6 wines and 6 tapas. Try the Fino Campo de Guía.; Avenida de la Bajamar 40. About 10 min by car from Mirador Puerto Sherry. Pairing Monday to Saturday at 14:00, and also Fridays at 20:00. Booking required. €€.
Castillo de San Marcos (Bodegas Caballero): El Puerto's landmark: a fortress-church built by Alfonso X over a former mosque, with the Caballero bodega next door. Some tours include a tasting of its wines and Ponche Caballero liqueur.; About 11 min by car from Mirador Puerto Sherry. Audio guide 10:00-16:00 (September to June) and 10:00-20:00 (July and August); guided tours Tue-Fri 13:00 and Sat 11:00 and 13:00. Booking recommended. €.

Eating after the tour

Inside González Byass is the Pedro Nolasco restaurant, about 7 min on foot from Mirador Jerez: Andalusian cooking with the house wines. It opens Tuesday to Thursday 13:00-15:30, and Friday and Saturday also 20:00-23:00; no service on Sunday or Monday. It costs more than a bar, but fits nicely with the tour. Booking is a good idea.

In El Puerto, Toro Tapas is inside Osborne: modern tapas with Iberian ham and the house wines. Booking is a good idea.

Our tips

Book ahead: Fundador, Tradición, Álvaro Domecq and Gutiérrez Colosía only take visitors with a booking, and at the others tours fill up.
Fundador is closed on Sunday and Monday. If you are here over a long weekend, visit it on Friday or Saturday and save another bodega for Sunday or Monday, checking its tour times first.
Tours are usually in Spanish and English; if you need another language, ask when you book.
If you do a tasting in El Puerto, take the local train or a taxi from Jerez and don't drive afterwards.

Checked in October 2026. Opening times change: confirm before you go.
