Join the greatest Sherry party on Earth! Sherry Week is the largest annual festival of Sherry Wines in the world.
Mark your calendars (and chalk your barrels) because Sherry Week, the world's largest international celebration dedicated to all things Sherry, returns on 3-9 November. The 12th Edition of Sherry Week will see ‘Sherry Rutas’ swirl in over 30 countries.
Every year, the vibrant global Sherry community comes together for one week of gastronomical and cultural events that highlight the fortified wine’s versatility and variety, from the dry crispness of Fino to the velvety, rich sweetness of Cream. With a style of sherry to match every type of food, it’s an ideal opportunity to discover the full spectrum and their fascinating ageing process in the multi-barrel Solera and Criadera system.
Since 2014, more than 20,000 events have taken place worldwide, with the Consejo Regulador for Jerez-Xérès-Sherry and Manzanilla’s stamp of approval. More than half a million wine-lovers – from seasoned Sherry experts to recent converts – have explored its rich heritage and unique production, from vineyard to cask to pour. And more importantly… indulged in it.
Last year alone saw over 3,000 events take place in 28 countries; swirling from the Spanish heartland of Sherry, Jerez, to the streets of London, São Paulo, Tokyo, New York, Buenos Aires, Sydney, and hundreds more cities – creating a ripple across social media.
Whether a Michelin-starred restaurant or a local wine store, you can now register your epicurean events, popups and masterclasses free of charge. Join the award-winning, record-breaking wine and food movement that’s been shaking up the scene around these versatile wines from southern Spain for over a decade by using the hashtag #SherryWeek.
Want to be part of the social success story? This year will see the evolution of its wildly successful Sherry Rutas, curated multi-venue routes offering exclusive pairing events. Not your typical crawl, this is more a triumphant strut – with tipples, tastings and tapas!
All around the world, Sherry-lovers can follow specially designed routes around cities with tastings in bars, restaurants and wine shops – gliding from one perfectly matched gastronomical joy to the next.
To create a route in your city (or neighbourhood), you just need more than TEN venues – bars, restaurants, wine stores – to participate. If your city already has a dedicated route, simply upload your event, and we’ll add you to it. Register here
