A bodega visit is a must, providing an insight into the way this wonderful drink is made and its importance to the economic life of the city - and many have post-tour tastings thrown in. Tours have to be booked in advance at many bodegas, though Gonzalez Byass and Sandeman operate a 'turn-up-and-tour' policy. Details from the city council's excellent website, www.turismojerez.com.
Horses are almost as important to jerezanos as sherry, and a visit to one of the regular shows at the Real Escuela Andaluza del Arte Ecuestre (Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art) won't disappoint. The school trains riders and mounts in dressage and you can watch them going through their training programmes or visit the weekly (in summer, twice weekly) shows at the school.www.realescuela.org.
