SHERRY BODEGAS (WINERIeS)
It is well worth taking a visit to one of Jerez's many sherry bodegas (literally cellars, but also used to mean wine producer and winery), from the mighty Gonzalez Byass, to the smaller ones such as Harveys. You can see how, and where, the five different types of the famous fortified wine are made, usually in huge cathedral-like buildings lined with barrels, including the all-important blending, even the making of the barrels, and then taste them for yourself.
