Wine tasting near port in either Cadiz or Malaga?

[luv2ndhalf]

Has anyone found a shop that offers wine tasting (not necessarily a winery) near where we dock in either Cadiz or Malaga? Thanks!

Sherry tasting in Jerez de la Frontera snd/or Sanlucar de Barrameda near Cadiz. Manzanilla sherry comes from Sanlucar. The other types from Jerez.

Sherry is the anglicized pronunciation of Jerez.

From Cadiz station - close to the port  -  about 30 minutes train to Jerez de la Frontere, the home of sherry as @marazul 's post. 

The wineries are now in modern factories on the outskirts, but many now use their original town centre bodegas for tours. Google for them, one we visited was https://www.sandeman.com/sherry-wine/visit/sherry-bodegas/

 

Near Sandeman's bodega is the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art. Dressage performances probably won't fit cruise ship schedules, but you can take a tour of the stables, carriage museum etc.

Spoiled for choice of sherry tasting options in the Cadiz area so you need to switch from regular wine to fortified wine to make the most of it.

 

Closer than Jerez, actually less  than  10 miles from Cadiz, is El Puerto de Santa Maria a nice litle town with beaches and a small number of sherry bodegas.

 

You can get there by public bus from Cadiz, or by train, or by taking the little boat shuttle bus which leaves and returns to very close to your ship,  operates on a frequent timetable and carries you over to the centre of El Puerto in a few minutes.

 

Info and images will be found online for El Puerto de Santa Maria and the bodegas which are open for tours and/or tastings. Also info for the little shuttle boat   Can personally recommend Bodega Osborne   Cheers!😁
