In the province of Cádiz, the sun not only warms our beaches but also ripens the grapes in the vineyards that give life to one of our land’s greatest treasures: the internationally renowned Jerez wines. At Hoteles HACE, we know that wine culture is a fundamental pillar of the Cádiz experience, and nowhere is it as intensely experienced as in Jerez de la Frontera.
Join us and immerse yourself in the fascinating world of wine tourism, especially as the 2025 Harvest Festival approaches, which this year takes place from August 30th to September 14th.
Harvest in Jerez de la Frontera
In Jerez, the harvest is much more than just a simple harvest. It’s a celebration of the work, the ancient tradition, and the history of a city that has made wine its hallmark. Around the city, as far as the eye can see, vineyards sprout, anticipating a great harvest and a new celebration of life that has been repeated for centuries.
Not in vain, due to its long history and relevance, the Jerez Harvest Festival has been declared of International Tourist Interest. Between August 30th and September 14th, the city is filled with activities centered around the world-famous wines of Jerez. Imagine strolling among the vineyards, learning about the production process, learning more about the different wines of Jerez through guided tastings and pairings, and, of course, enjoying a good glass of wine. Fino, oloroso, amontillado, palo cortado, cream… choose the ones that best suit your taste and character, but in any case, knowing them is loving them.
Wine Tourism Experiences in Jerez
Jerez is the capital of wine tourism, especially during the grape harvest. We recommend a visit to one of its wineries. Here, you can enjoy a tasting of finos, manzanillas, amontillados, or olorosos, pairing each sip with local tapas such as mojama, lupins, or cured cheese.
And for a unique experience combining culture, gastronomy, and wine, don’t miss the opportunity to visit the tabancos, former wine cellars converted into charming bars where you can savor the most authentic Jerez de Jerez de la Frontera. An experience you can’t get anywhere else. You can also enjoy afternoons of tapas in the historic center, in lively squares under the shade of orange trees, a perfect atmosphere to immerse yourself in the local flavors.
During the Harvest Festival, Jerez residents and visitors can enjoy a varied and extensive program of activities aimed at all audiences. The main attraction will, of course, be wine, but there will also be concerts, flamenco, exhibitions, heritage tours, children’s activities, and winery tours, among many other offerings.
