The Journey
Day 1 — Cádiz
Arrival & Orientation
Arrival in Cádiz signals the beginning of a more expansive exploration of the Marco. Time is left open to settle into the city’s Atlantic rhythm—stone streets, sea air, and a sense of continuity shaped by centuries of trade.
As evening approaches, Cádiz reveals itself from above and at the table. Wine and cuisine offer an initial orientation to the journey ahead, grounded in local tradition and maritime influence, and set a confident tone for the days to follow.
Signature Encounter: A Cádiz Welcome by Sea and Cellar
Day 2 — Chipiona & Rota
Moscatel, Sand, and Revival
The day moves along the coast, where sandy soils and proximity to the Atlantic shape a distinct expression of wine. Morning encounters focus on Moscatel, revealing a quieter, more intimate side of the Marco rooted in artisanal practice.
Midday unfolds in the countryside, where food, animals, and land remain closely connected. The afternoon turns to revival—vineyards near the sea and a rediscovered red variety that speaks to both history and renewal.
The evening returns to Cádiz, with time at leisure to absorb the day’s contrasts.
Signature Encounter: Coastal Soils and Forgotten Grapes
Day 3 — Trebujena
River, Pagos, and Future Voices
The Guadalquivir sets the tone for the day, carrying the story inland toward one of the Marco’s most expressive villages. Wine here is inseparable from river, wind, and chalky soils, shaped by pagos that speak clearly of place.
Midday brings focused conversation around what Sherry is becoming—unfortified wines, vineyard expression, and a return to origin. Lunch follows in the countryside, shared simply among growers.
The afternoon deepens this perspective through raw, vineyard-driven wines that reflect Trebujena’s soul before returning to Cádiz.
Signature Encounter: Where River and Vineyard Define the Future
Day 4 — Chiclana & Puerto Real
Land, Craft, and Salt
The day begins inland, where elegance and restraint define a singular Sherry voice. Attention then turns to traditional craft, revealing how materials once essential to vineyard and cellar life are still shaped by hand.
Midday brings the sea into focus through cuisine, followed by an afternoon immersed in the salt flats of the Bahía. Landscape, light, and saline air converge, offering one of the journey’s most elemental moments.
Evening returns to Cádiz, leaving space for rest or quiet exploration.
Signature Encounter: From Vineyard Strength to Salted Light
Day 5 — Cádiz
Market, Memory, and Farewell
The final full day returns to Cádiz’s living heart. Morning begins among market stalls and local producers, where daily life reflects the city’s enduring relationship with food and trade.
Midday unfolds through cuisine shaped by Sherry itself—both in glass and on the plate—followed by encounters with maritime craft that recall Cádiz’s role as Sherry’s gateway to the world.
As evening arrives, the journey closes within a palacio setting. Wine, music, and table come together in a farewell shaped by Cádiz’s spirit—direct, expressive, and deeply rooted.
