Uncover the best that Andalucía has to offer and celebrate #InternationalSherryWeek with a tasting of old and rare wines.

Event details

In this tasting, we'll explore VOS (Very Old Sherry) and VORS (Very Old Rare Sherry) – two exclusive categories of fine wine that represent a tiny fraction of the region's production. We will delve into the intricate and lengthy process of fortification, blending and ageing using the solera system, and taste the results through carefully chosen samples of these world-class and exceptional wines.

Join Certified Sherry Educator Lauren Denyer DipWSET for this one-of-a-kind tasting of top-flight wine alongside a selection of nibbles and snacks from the Iberian peninsula, such as Jamón ibérico, sheep's milk Manchego and marcona almonds.

This tasting is perfect for bonafide sherry lovers who are looking to explore the top wines of the region in greater depth.
