6th – 12th November: Discover Sherries with food across the UK
Across the UK, sherry lovers are ready to toast Sherry Week 2023, happening from 6th to 12th November.
This year is the tenth anniversary of the largest annual festival of Sherry Wines in the world, which sees a week-long series of events planned nationwide.
Tastings and pairing dinners in bars, restaurants and wine shops are being hosted for food and wine fans looking to discover the full range of Sherries and find out what makes them a perfect match for big food flavours.
All Sherry Week UK 2023 events are on the dedicated website where fans of Sherry can find out more and book tickets to wine tastings, food pairings and cultural events, plus plenty more besides.
Sherry-lovers looking to sip their way around Edinburgh can follow specially designed routes – or ‘Sherry Rutas’ – that take in a number of bars, restaurants and wine stores across the capital.
The Sherry Week website lists events and venues, helping locals in Edinburgh to choose and book as applicable, and then simply glide from one Sherry pairing menu or tasting, on to the next, experiencing the scope of versatile Sherry wines and matched gastronomy.
A few Edinburgh highlights of this double-digit birthday – expected to be the biggest, most exciting and best tasting Sherry Week yet – include:
· Sherry Week In-store Sampling at Woodwinters– withthree different Sherries open to taste all week, along with a selection of cheese and olives to pair;
· Store Tastings at Great Grog Wine– complimentary and with small tapas pairings;
· A 4-Course Sherry Dinner at McLarens On The Corner – a guided discovery of why Sherry is a favourite wine for food pairings;
· A Sherry Pairing Experience at Fin & Grape – a very special pairing flight paired with delicious sharing plates;
· A Tapas Sherry Experience at Indaba Café Bar – with five incredible tapas plates and five delightful Sherries.
First launched in 2014 as a word-of-mouth series of events over the course of one week, Sherry Week has grown exponentially.
The past nine years have seen half a million wine-lovers participating in more than 18,000 events in 40 countries and 4 continents* – all with the Jerez-Xérès-Sherry and Manzanilla D.O.’s official stamp of approval.
