Two fabulous cities in one! See the highlights of Cadiz and then venture further afield to the sherry capital of the world. Tempt your taste buds with a guided tour of a local bodega and then sample the famous product.

Embark on a scenic drive around the city of Cadiz, looking out for iconic images such as the old quarter, the monument to the former Spanish Parliament in Plaza de España and the cathedral. Dating back to the 18th century, Cadiz’s cathedral is recognisable by its gleaming yellow dome that’s visible from afar. 

Pass through the villages of Puerto Real and Puerto de Santa Maria; a former ancient trading post and a departure port of Christopher Columbus, en-route to Jerez. Jerez de la Frontera is a modern town with a long spanning history and it’s brimming with monuments, colourful buildings and quaint cobbled streets.

The Phoenicians introduced grape vines to Jerez more than 3000 years ago and British merchants discovered that the chalky soil and the region’s temperate climatemade for perfect conditions to produce a very special type of liquid. Sherry has been produced in Jerez ever since and the town proudly boasts as being the home of sherry production.

Enjoy a scenic drive around the city before visiting one of the ancient wine cellars for a guided tour. See enormous halls full of oak barrels, learn about the production process, smell the spirit in the atmosphere and taste the famous product.

An opportunity to buy the local sherry will be offered before returning to the ship.
