Experience

12pm - 2pm, Open Tasting

Sherries must be some of the world’s most under-rated, versatile and fascinating wines. They include some of the very driest wines; some of the very sweetest – and everything in between. Moreover, these wines make great partners for all kinds of foods – and not just Spanish food.

Join us to taste six different sherries, from the driest to the sweetest, and discover how they make magnificent food companions. We will be serving some inspiring canapes to highlight this versatility and opening the lid on these often misjudged but fascinating wines.

The format will be an “open tasting” room – where you are free to wander glass in hand, talk to Strawberry Tree’s sherry enthusiasts, absorb as much or as little information as you would like about these wines, chat to others and explore the food pairings offered with each sherry. It is not a lecture or classroom-format – something that we believe makes these tastings more accessible, fun and relaxed. As always, we love to share our passion about all things Spain.

You will also have the chance to try your hand at pouring sherry from a traditional ‘venencia’ used for taking samples from a wine barrel. Notoriously difficult to use, professional samplers work these tools effortlessly, with an impressive flamboyance. In a way it’s comparable to the movements of a Flamenco dancer or bullfighter. How will you fare?
