Contrary to popular belief, not all sherries are sweet, either; while Pedro Ximenez is arguably the most famous sweet variety \u2013 treacle-like in texture and often paired with desserts or poured over ice cream \u2013 the dryness of other varieties such as Manzanilla and Fino makes them the perfect accompaniment to savoury bites like the local cheese and jamon. The region&#8217;s cavernous bodegas give visitors a window into sherry making with cellar tours and tastings to enjoy before moving on to the local tapas bars and tabancos to try these fortified wines alongside the local cuisine.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6912\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2016\/10\/SherryBarrels_iStock_JackF_-www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Sherry in Jerez\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/SherryBarrels_iStock_JackF_-www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/SherryBarrels_iStock_JackF_-www.istockphoto-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/SherryBarrels_iStock_JackF_-www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/SherryBarrels_iStock_JackF_-www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/SherryBarrels_iStock_JackF_-www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/SherryBarrels_iStock_JackF_-www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Bodegas<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Founded in 1780, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grupogarvey.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Garvey Winery<\/a> is one of the region&#8217;s most famous Sherry producers, with the Jerez bodega producing a wide variety of fortified wines, from straw-coloured Fino to amber-coloured Amontillado and dark mahogany Pedro Ximenez.

In the sherry region, these tapas bars are known as Tabancos, which is in fact the name of the old sherry stores where locals used to buy the wine fresh from the barrel. These stores then went on to combine sherry with tapas, and of course the Flamenco music this region is famous for. Local ingredients like cured meats, cheese and locally grown olives make frequent appearances at Tabancos in Jerez, often served simply on greaseproof paper and enjoyed alongside sherry drawn straight from the barrel.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6914\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2016\/10\/Sherryandtapas_iStock_OlenaMykhaylova_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Sherry in Jerez\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Sherryandtapas_iStock_OlenaMykhaylova_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Sherryandtapas_iStock_OlenaMykhaylova_www.istockphoto-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Sherryandtapas_iStock_OlenaMykhaylova_www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Sherryandtapas_iStock_OlenaMykhaylova_www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Sherryandtapas_iStock_OlenaMykhaylova_www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Sherryandtapas_iStock_OlenaMykhaylova_www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Many of these Tabancos can be found dotted across the city, but one of the Old Town&#8217;s most popular is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/LasCuadrasTapas\/?ref=hl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Las Cuadras<\/a>.
