    Interesting tour about sherry, you see how it is made over the years and all ghe different types. There's also barrels that the famous and royalty have signed when they visited. At the end of the tour you get to try some of the sherries, very interesting tour worth going to.

    €18 buys you an excellent 2+ hour tour of the winery and a tasting including 3 sherrys and a brandy. Tour in English and Spanish. Learn all about how it's made and lots of other information. Well worth a visit.

    To all tourists: the tours are fake!!! We came in the morning and asked for a tour, a young boy told us that the next tour will be at 5pm.. we waited all day in the city for this tour and when we came back, there was no one anymore and the security man told us that there is no tour anymore. Very sad for tourists who come to Jerez for 1 day to see a bodega and then go home without seeing one bodega because the staff obviously tells fake information for no reason

    Tasting and tapas tour was excellent. Fatima, our guide, was knowledgeable, interesting and very friendly. She spoke English very well. The tasting after the tour was 4 different sherries and a brandy with a tapa for each. All delicious, food was amazing. I'd thoroughly recommend this tour.

    The staff, the food in the tapas bar, the sherry and the brandy are wonderful! This is a hidden gem that should not be missed!

    Came here for a tour and was pleasantly surprised. Katherine was a fantastic tour guide and was very knowledgeable answering all the questions that we had. She is the reason why we enjoyed the tour so much. Highly recommend checking out if you’re in Jerez!

  • 5/5 Kate K. 11 months ago on Google
    This tour is excellent. The bodega is the oldest in Jerez and our tour guide Katherine was excellent. She gave us loads of information about the process of sherry and brandy making but not too complicated!! The bodega is stunning and the trip lasted about 90 minutes which was just right. Thanks so much. We ll recome d the visit to others. Well worth the money

    Even though it's only warehouse and tasting Fatima made our visit great. It was very informative and interesting she described the processes how the wine is made to the very detail. We took the English one and it was perfect

  • 5/5 Ervin G. 1 year ago on Google
    Amaizing tour and full of information. Sherry tasting and history was so intersting and was very intersting to hear all that history and tradition. I would like to come back again.

    Excellent tour! Fatima is an excellent tour guide who provided helpful and detailed explanations about the sherry and brandy making process! We reserved the tasting and tapas tour which was truly amazing. Big tapas portions that filled us up for lunch!

  • 5/5 Joe D. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a Tasting and Tapas tour with Fatima which was very good and informative. Believe me for 25 Euro this was excellent value as the tapas after the 90 minutes tour involved 4 different sherries and 1 brandy each accompanied by a different and extremely delicious tapa. Highly recommended.

    Lovely tour. Very informative and great tasting sherry.

  • 5/5 Aaron B. 1 year ago on Google
    The tour in English led by Fatima was great. She explains how Sherry wine is made, how they get Brandy and the history of Fundador. The tasting afterwards in the restaurant is also very good.

  • 5/5 Aubrey H. 1 year ago on Google
    Thoroughly excellent tour lead by Fatima who took time to let people take in and appreciate this enormous place. The tour itself was in English and Spanish which suited the group perfectly. The restaurant was equally as good with a great selection of tapas. In fact it was so good, we came back another time. All in all, very well priced and extremely enjoyable.

    Got the tour of Bodegas Fundador in 2014. it was very enjoyable. You get to taste their sherry. To top it off we saw, a barrel with my last name on it.

  • 5/5 Elvira S. 2 years ago on Google
    The tour is totally recommended, very informative and makes one aware of the great history behind a business that has been around since the 18th century. Although the cellars cover a huge surface, the tour packs a little of details about the way wines are stored, the production steps for some of their well known drinks and fun facts. If you're in the area, get a glass of Cream brandy with some "Bacon of the sky" -- during the tour someone pointed that this would be the translation for Tocino de cielo 😂

  • 5/5 Mark B. 4 years ago on Google
    Interesting tour and well worth doing the sherry and cheese tasting afterwards.

  • 1/5 Esther L. 2 years ago on Google
    FAKE TOURS tourists wait all day for a tour in the city and then it is told that there is no tour anymore even though it was told in the morning that there will be later another tour I guess there are several other bodegas people can visit with better service and better information

  • 5/5 Frank W. 5 years ago on Google
    When visiting Jerez de la Frontera, which is after all the home of sherry and brandy, it's almost obligated to visit a so-called Bodega, where the drinks are produced. Choosing for Fundador was a great choice. The tour is very informative and the bodega is full of history. Included is a small tasting during the tour, to recognize the different types of sherry and brandy. But after the tour, one can still have a nother tasting. To our surprise, 4 bottles (2 of each) were put on the table and we were wished a good time :) Needless to say, after especially the delicious Harveys Bristol Cream, it was difficult to leave.Highly, highly recommended!
