During International Sherry Week, the whole world revolves around sherry wines: tastings in New York and Tokyo, a sherry cocktail contest in Peru – in more than 30 countries, over 2,500 events took place in one week in 2017. The Sherry Commission hopes to host more than 100 tastings, cocktail events, food pairings and private or public flavor expeditions with the wines from Jerez in Germany this year. As of today, events can be registered.
Organize and register an event
Hospitality and trade professionals or sherry aficionados: Anyone can become part of the worldwide sherry community and register their own event on the official website www.sherry.wine/de/sherryweek. A Spanish evening with friends or a sherry tasting with guests, at the International Sherry Week everything is possible.

A selection of premium sherry wines worth 1,000 euros will be raffled among all organizers of public events.

Discover the variety of aromas of the wines from Jerez
From the salty note of a chilled Manzanilla or Fino to the nutty aroma of an Amontillado or Oloroso, from the umami flavor of a Palo Cortado to the sweet-salty caramel of a Pedro Ximenez, there are far more flavors in sherry wines than sherry lovers can discover in just one week. The variety and special aromatics make the wines from Jerez a surprisingly perfect companion for a successful dinner or party evening.
