SENSATIONS IN THE SHERRY DISTRICT MARCO DI WINE

Imagine having a stroll through ancient vineyards, rolling hills covered with white earth and vine stocks as long as your eyes can reach. A land where wine has been cultivated and appreciated from the time of the Phoenicians. Whether you are looking for peace, adventure or unique experiences, whether your interests are wine&gastronomy, golf and sun, culture or excursions, you will find it in Jerez, at Santa Petronila, a Vine estate from 1737, situated 5 km from the Jerez city and 20 km from the beaches of El Puerto de Santa Maria. Project selected “Best Practices” in the “Europeo Eurovinq” Program, 2008. Visit us, and experience for yourself.



A LIVE MUSEUM “THE JOURNEY FROM GRAPES TO GLASS”

Inside the farmhouse of the vineyard, dating back from 1737, you will find the small, intimate museum of Jerez Vines and Wine growing, which will take you on an unforgettable journey through the growing, harvesting and pressing of the grapes, as well as the life in the Jerez Vines in the 19th century.

ACCOMODATION AT SANTA PETRONILA A VINE ESTATE FROM 1737

The farm house, which dates back to 1737, offers self catered accommodation, with 9 double rooms and common facilities like living room and kitchen, garden and swimming pool. The house has been carefully restored respecting its old charm and original architecture, with the incorporation of modern comfort like floor heating, modern all-equipped kitchen and new bathrooms.

WINE TASTING, MEETINGS AND OTHER EVENTS

Have you ever participated in Sherry wine tasting? Have you experienced a gastronomical night in the midst of a vineyard under a clear, bright moon? Have your ever seen a pure flamenco performance in the light of a 250 year old open fire place? Have you thought about organizing a company meeting or a family celebration in a Vine Museum?
