Copa Jerez, the international competition of gastronomic harmonies with Sherry and Manzanilla wines, organised every two years by Fedejerez and the Regulatory Council of the "Jerez-Xérès-Sherry" and "Manzanilla-Sanlúcar de Barrameda" DOOs, is calling for chef and sommelier teams to the National Phase of the X Copa Jerez.
Copa Jerez is a biennial international gastronomic competition that pits teams made up of a chef and a sommelier from seven countries (Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, the United States, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom) against each other. The aim of each team is to present the best pairing of a three-course gastronomic menu with Marco de Jerez wines.
