4. Wine tasting in Jerez de la Frontera

When you say the sherry capital of Spain, you say Jerez de la Frontera. More than half of the country's wine production comes from the Jerez region. So it's no wonder that as a wine lover, you've come to the right place! The Palomino grape is found in all wines in this city and is named after a knight from the thirteenth century. This grape is a real seasoning, as it is the main ingredient of sherry. Fresh and neutral characterize the taste of this stuff. That is why this is the perfect candidate while having a drink or while eating any possible dish. Moreover, experts claim that the proximity to the Atlantic Ocean gives the wine a hint of the sea. Time to taste! You can do this like no other at Bodega González-Byass and Bodega Fundador, which you will find in the Jerez de la Frontera region. During our visit to Jerez de la Frontera, we found Chipibeach Chez Flo, located on the sea, to be the ideal address to complete the experience.
