Our take
Tabancos are where Jerez locals actually drink sherry, and going in with someone who explains what to order and why makes a big difference. The tapas are small, so treat it as an aperitif with a history lesson rather than dinner.

The experience
What you will see
- Tabancos and traditional bars in the old town.
- Streets, squares and monuments of central Jerez.
- How tapas pair with the different styles of sherry.

You meet your guide in Plaza del Arenal and walk around the centre for about 2 hours. Along the way you hear the city's history and legends, and stop at three tabancos or bars for a tapa and a drink at each one.
Who I recommend it for

- Anyone who wants to understand sherry styles without a full bodega visit.
Who I don't recommend it for
- Anyone after a full dinner: the tapas are small portions.
