DMC Jerez: MICE, Incentives, Golf & Corporate Events

Jerez: History, Culture & Traditions

The city of Jerez de la Frontera, like the rest of Andalusia, has been a melting pot of civilisations over the history. The Romans and Arabs established the foundations of the city we know today, and it was after the 15th century that the city became a notorious social and cultural hub, with important agricultural, trade and wine industries. The city became a prosperous city thanks to its connections with Seville and Cadiz harbours.

The city of Jerez became known worldwide thanks to the Sherry wine. The wine, along with the flamenco, the horses and the motorbikes is one of the cultural pillars of the city.

One of the most typical activities to do in Jerez is wine tourism, where you can visit the caves and enjoy a glass of Sherry. Another option to fully immerse in the city’s atmosphere, is to attend the Jerez Flamenco Festival, that takes place every year. Historically, horses have played an important role in Jerez and Andalusia, where the Horse Fair, or Feria del Caballo de Jerez takes place yearly since the 15th century. And last, but not least, Jerez is home of the MotoGP Spanish Grand Prix. The event gathers motorbike enthusiasts during a weekend at the races.
