Feria del Caballo de Jerez — a 3-day weekend in Sherry Triangle

The weekend, day by day

1. Day 1

   Arrive in Jerez de la Frontera

   Land at Jerez Airport (XRY), settle in and walk the old town in the afternoon. Light dinner near your accommodation — save your appetite for the festival day.

2. Day 2

   Feria del Caballo de Jerez

   Festival day — arrive early to avoid the lunchtime crowd. Insider tip: Skip the official fairground casetas and instead book dinner at a private bodega on the outskirts—bodegas like González Byass or Tío Pepe often host exclusive evening tastings during fair week. Request a fino from Sanlúcar rather than Jerez proper; the slightly salinity from Atlantic proximity makes an enormous difference in the heat.

3. Day 3

   Wine country day in Sherry Triangle

   Use the third day for a single winery visit (booked ahead) and a long lunch at one of the regional addresses below before heading home.
