Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best sherry in Spain?
As with all food and drink this really is a matter of personal taste. However, some of the best sherries come from the three towns of the Sherry Triangle. On our tour, you will get to taste sherries from five bodegas so you can choose!
What is the most popular Spanish sherry?
The top selling brands are Tio Pepe and La Ina. Within Spain the Manzanilla from Sanlúcar de Barrameda – which is pale and dry – outsells other sherries.
Is sherry drunk before, during or after a meal?
