Quick answer Five glasses, ninety minutes, $29 — and where the wine actually comes from
The Seville sherry tasting is $29 for ninety seated minutes and five wines, poured in the order a bodega would serve them and explained as you go, with aged manchego, marinated olives and Iberian ham alongside. It is the cheapest and shortest booking in this catalogue and the only one that is entirely indoors, which makes it the summer answer when a 3.5-hour walking tour is unthinkable. Add-on options on the listing swap in Seville orange wine, white sangria, cold bites or a sweet-sherry ice cream pairing.
Key takeaways
- $29 for five sherries with cheese, olives and ham — roughly what five glasses cost in a bar, with the education included
- Ninety minutes, seated, indoors — the July and August alternative to walking
- Sherry is from the Jerez triangle, an hour south of Seville, not from the city itself
- Several add-on options are sold on the listing, including orange wine and a sherry-and-ice-cream pairing
- Pairs well before an evening walk such as the Tapas Crawl — it is a tasting, not a meal

What You Are Actually Tasting
Five wines, one method
Sherry is not a grape, it is a place and a process. The wines come from the triangle between Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa Maria and Sanlucar de Barrameda, about an hour south of Seville, and they are aged in the solera system — a stack of barrels where a fraction of the oldest wine is drawn off and replaced from the barrel above, so every bottle carries a little of every year that came before it.
The five pours usually run dry to sweet. Fino and manzanilla are bone-dry, aged under a living layer of yeast called flor, and drunk cold with food; manzanilla comes from Sanlucar and carries a saline edge that Sevillanos will tell you is the sea air. Amontillado starts as fino and continues ageing after the flor dies, which turns it amber and nutty. Oloroso never had the flor at all and is darker and heavier. Pedro Ximenez is the sweet one at the end — raisined grapes, thick as syrup, poured over ice cream in half the bars in Andalusia.
Why this is the summer booking
Seville averages 36.4 C in July and August. A 3.5-hour walking food tour in that is an endurance event, and reviewers of the tasting say so directly — one from August called it the perfect indoor activity when it's over 100 F.
Ninety minutes seated also fits where nothing else does: before dinner, after the Alcazar, in the gap between checking in and the city waking up again at nine. It is not a meal — the snacks are cheese, olives and ham — so it works alongside a dinner reservation rather than instead of one.
The add-ons, and what to ignore
The booking page sells the tasting in several versions: with a glass of Seville orange wine, with white sangria, with cold bites, with a sherry refill, with a vanilla ice cream paired to sweet sherry, or as a full tasting with premium extras.
The orange wine add-on is the one worth taking — vino de naranja is a Seville speciality rather than a Jerez one, macerated with bitter orange peel, and it is hard to try properly anywhere else. Reviewers repeatedly single it out. The sangria option is fine but sangria is not what anybody in Andalusia drinks; tinto de verano is.
Questions About This Tasting
Is this a bodega tour?
No. It is a guided tasting in a Seville venue. The bodegas themselves are in Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa Maria and Sanlucar de Barrameda, about an hour south of the city.
Is there enough food to count as dinner?
No. The snacks are aged manchego, marinated olives and Iberian ham — enough to keep five glasses of fortified wine comfortable, not a meal. Book a food tour if you want dinner.
Which sherries are poured?
Five, generally running dry to sweet: fino or manzanilla, amontillado, oloroso and a sweet Pedro Ximenez, with the solera ageing system explained as you go. Add-on options can add orange wine or a sweet-sherry ice cream pairing.
How long is it?
Ninety minutes, seated and indoors — the shortest booking in all eleven Seville food tours and the one that fits between other plans.
Is it suitable in high summer?
It is the best option in it. Seville averages 36.4 C in July and August; this tasting is indoors and air-conditioned, which reviewers writing in August single out.
What does it cost?
$29 per adult at the last check in August 2026, which is the lowest price in this catalogue. Add-on versions cost more and are chosen on the booking page.
What Travellers Said
The pours were all generous, so we could always compare the different types. The snacks were perfect and the orange wine was eye-opening. It was the perfect indoor activity when it's over 100 F.
We tasted a great selection of both sweet and dry sherries, and our host made the session fun, informative, and easy to follow.
We didn't know much about sherry — we did by the time we left. A fabulous opportunity to understand how to enjoy it.
