International Sherry Week — 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

   International Sherry Week

   Festival day — arrive early to avoid the lunchtime crowd. Insider tip: Take the early-morning boat trip to Sanlúcar on day two to experience manzanilla in its original fishing-village context before crowds arrive—El Guisante Verde and Barbadillo's beachfront bars offer unfiltered versions unavailable elsewhere. The Tuesday masterclasses at Instituto del Vino are free and worth restructuring your schedule around.

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.
