Address: C. Prta de Rota, S/N, 11408 Jerez de la Frontera, Cádiz
Bodegas Fundador isn’t just a bodega—it’s where the story of Spanish brandy began. Established in 1730, this is the oldest winery in Jerez, home to the legendary Fundador Brandy and some of the most iconic soleras in Spain. A visit here is cinematic: you’ll wander through monumental cellars lined with aging casks, explore ivy-clad courtyards, and walk the same grounds that once hosted royalty and celebrities. It’s more than a tasting—it’s a deep dive into three centuries of craftsmanship.
The experience blends tradition with scale. You’ll see La Mezquita, their stunning barrel hall inspired by Islamic architecture, and El Molino, one of the most historic wine production sites in the city. Tastings are generous and include both sherries and brandies, with the chance to try rare expressions not sold in stores. Located near the city centre in a beautifully preserved estate, it’s romantic, atmospheric, and surprisingly kid-friendly—thanks to wide open spaces and a visually engaging tour. Whether you’re into wine, architecture, or Andalusian history, Bodegas Fundador delivers.
