The province of Cádiz offers an enchanting experience for wine enthusiasts, with two distinctive wine routes: the Wine and Brandy Route of Jerez and the Sierra de Cádiz Wine Route. While the Jerez route is more widely recognised, the Sierra de Cádiz is equally rich in culture and tradition. This guide delves into these celebrated routes, exploring their landscapes, flavours, and cultural heritage. So, lets start exploring Cádiz’s wine routes.
NOTE: Jerez = Sherry 🙂 The English name was invented to help sales. After all, who would buy a product if they couldn’t pronounce what it is called?

I’ve been living in this lovely area of Western Andalucia for the last 20 years or so and dedicate most of my time to the running of English language tourist information websites for the towns of Cádiz, Ronda, Grazalema, the famous or infamous Caminito del Rey, and also Wildside Holidays, which promotes sustainable and eco-friendly businesses running wildlife and walking holidays in Spain.
Jerez de la Frontera is located about 30 kilometers inland from Cádiz and is known for its production of sherry, a fortified wine that has been produced in the region for centuries. Here’s a brief introduction to visiting Jerez de la Frontera from Cádiz.
The easiest way to get to Jerez de la Frontera from Cádiz is by car, which takes about 30 minutes. But, why not take a train which takes approximately the same amount of time and leaves you free from the hassles of parking in the city.
