Wine experiences in Southern Spain. One of the most exclusive wine experiences to taste Andalucia in a glass

Discover the best kept secrets of Southern Spain’s exquisite wines and gastronomy on this all-inclusive educational journey.

Wine in Andalusia has come a long way since 1100 BC when the Phoenicians first planted their vineyards in the fertile lands of Cadiz. By Roman times, wine was being produced in Andalusia in a big way and interestingly enough, this continued through Moorish times; despite the fact that the Koran frowns on the consumption of alcohol, some found creative ways to interpret the Koran’s words on wine, providing some justification such as medicinal purposes.

From the 15th century onwards, Andalusian wines were shipped to appreciative drinkers elsewhere in Europe, particularly England, where there was a great fondness for Sack (as Sherry was called then) and sweet wines from Malaga. This happy situation prevailed until the 19th century when European vineyards were affected by the Oidium fungus (Powdery Mildew), followed by an even more devastating plague of Phylloxera (American vine root louse) which first appeared in Bordeaux in 1868 and spread to South Spain 20 years later. As a result, vineyards were replanted with plague-resistant American rootstock, while some, sadly, never fully recovered…

From the historic sherries of Jerez, to the up-and-coming new vineyards in Ronda and Granada province, Andalusia boasts some of the best wine tastings in Spain. There are over 40.000 hectares of vineyards planted in 20 regions with over half of the wine production concentrated over 4 major ‘Denominación de Origen’ (D.O. areas or the equivalent to France’s Appellation d’Origine Controllée). On this tour, we will explore 3 of these D.O. spread over 4 different regions:

  1. Axarquía (Malaga province) belonging to the D.O. Sierras de Malaga
  2. Montilla (Córdoba province) belonging to the D.O. Montilla-Moriles
  3. Ronda (Malaga province) belonging to the D.O. Sierras de Malaga
  4. Jérez (Cádiz province) belonging to the D.O Sherry
