Bodegas Hidalgo - La Gitana

We had the English-language tour with Saroya. We’ve been on many wine and sherry tours before and this was far and away the best. She handled our many questions and explained the complexities of the manzanilla-making process with clarity and patience. We learned a lot in an hour. You also get to sample a good amount of wine produced by the bodega.

The English tour was really interesting and made by a very sympathetic woman who explained many things about Manzanilla. We have tasted 6 wines and got some cheese in the end as well.

We had a fantastic tour led by Leo (Leonora) who was totally passionate about the wonderful wines of Manzanilla and delivered all the information in easily digestible chunks. I have had 49 years in the wines and spirits industry and been to a number of sherry bodegas before, but I certainly learnt a lot. I can thoroughly recommend visiting Bodegas Hidalgo and hope you get lucky in having Leo as your guide - she is a total star! Lorne Mackillop MW

I have visited several bodegas in Spain, and each one has been unique and memorable. However, my recent tour of Bodegas Hidalgo La Gitana was truly exceptional. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the winery and its wines. She shared his insights with us in a way that was both informative and engaging. I felt that our time at Bodega La Gitana was well spent, and our host couldn't have been more charming, passionate, or knowledgeable.

Víctor was a perfect host sharing his knowledge of the history and unique qualities of Gitana Sherry. We really enjoyed the tour and tasting with the opportunity to buy some at the shop. We were aware this sherry was shown on BBC good food guide and goes perfectly with fish n chips!

Very detailed and authentic tour. Soraya explained everything clearly and answered all the questions. Bodega itself is very cool! I loved the patios and all the greenery around!

We went for the English tour with Víctor. Took my parents in law here and they absolutely loved it. Victor was great, very attentive, funny and knowledgeable. Gracias!

I have enjoyed many tours of many bodegas in the Sherry triangle, but I haven't enjoyed any as much as this one. It was led by Victor; his passion for Manzanilla, and the Bodega is obvious and his knowledge is extensive. Because of his passion, the info he shared will stick and the stories of the history of the Bodega will as well. It is well worth a visit if you enjoy Manzanilla, and if you enjoy hearing about the history of SanLucar de Barrameda. Highly recommended! Gracias Victor!

Another excellent tour. This Bodega is in the heart of the city making it very interesting. The products were shared generously.
