Williams & Humbert Bodega in Jerez

Williams & Humbert Bodega is a winery in Jerez de la Frontera that spreads across large facilities filled with wooden casks for aging wines. The complex processes both fortified sherries and other wine types using methods developed over many years.

The winery was founded in 1877 by two English businessmen and began with small quantities of Fino sherry. Over the following decades it grew to become one of the major wine operations in the region.

The bodega maintains sherry production methods that have been passed down through generations of Spanish winemakers. Visitors can observe how these traditions shape the way wines are still made today.

The grounds have marked visitor routes that are easy to walk and lead through different production areas. It helps to wear comfortable shoes since you spend several hours on your feet and taste many wines along the way.

The area called Sacristia holds individual casks from the 1800s that show how long some of these wines have been aging. These old stocks are physical evidence of the long patience that this winemaking requires.
