Since 1631
Ten generations of manzanilla in the Barrio Alto, facing the mouth of the Guadalquivir. The Romeros of La Balsa were already ageing wine here in 1630; in 1895 Manuel Barón bought their soleras and stopped selling in bulk to bottle under his own name. Micaela, Atalaya, Pino Viejo and Xixarito all come from this house.

The house that has been picking up what Sanlúcar let fall. It starts in 1798 with the Marquis of Casa Arizón's San Pedro bodega; in 1986 José Luis Barrero bought the Miguel Sánchez Ayala firm outright, and in 2019 the two Pedro Romero buildings. That makes 8,300 square metres of bodega in the Barrio Bajo, a step from the beach, and it has recently opened to visitors.

A family, hand-worked house carrying on the bodega Francisco Espinosa de los Monteros opened in 1884, ageing the full range of Marco styles through criaderas and soleras, with Palomino, Pedro Ximénez and Moscatel.

A small historic winery, a pioneer as the first house in Jerez run entirely by women: Pilar Plá Pechovierto kept it alive for over four decades.
View wineryA small family bodega, three generations ageing manzanilla by hand, with quantity always behind quality. It opens weekend mornings and the visit ends in a tasting with something to eat.
View wineryThe Las Bóvedas bodega, Antonio Espinosa de los Monteros's, holds only a hundred and twenty-five six-hundred-litre butts, given over to VORS wines and old brandies: a palo cortado, an amontillado, an oloroso and the fino Atávico. Next door is the Salón de Cuerdas, with more than four hundred eighteenth- and nineteenth-century instruments gathered over forty years — one of the most important collections in Europe — and an ethnographic museum of over eleven hundred pieces from the Jerez countryside.

Diego Ruiz Aragón set it up in 1972 almost as a hobby, with the wines of two Chiclana bodegas that were closing down. His son Fernando gave it commercial push from 1988, and today the house lives on its moscatels — El Dorado, El Viejo Dorado and a gran reserva — on the fino La Parra and the cream El Abuelo Fernando. It sells over the counter and shows the bodega with a tasting of Chiclana produce.

Former stables at the Cruz Vieja, in the San Miguel quarter, where in 1972 Faustino González installed soleras from 1789 that came out of the Alcázar of Jerez. It supplied Lustau, Williams & Humbert and Wisdom & Warter as an almacenista until, in 2014, the heirs decided to release part of the wine under their own name, Cruz Vieja. It still ferments in butt, with its own yeasts.
