On Friday 1st June, the Mayoress of Sanlucar, Irene Garcia Macias, together with councillors, the directriz of "Sanlucar...descubretela" (a local tourism organisation) and the director of administration of Bodegas Delgado Zuleta inaugurated the first "Centre for the Interpretation of Wine" in the Sherry area at Bodegas Delgado Zuleta. The purpose of the new Centre is to pass on the cultural heritage of Sanlucar wine, while trying to reduce the seasonality of tourism and offer more than just bodega visits. Tourists will be able to follow the entire production process from vineyard to glass in one place, including tasting, and will leave full of knowledge of, and enthusiasm for, the wines of Sanlucar and Sherry in general.
The president of the Society of Horse Racing of Sanlucar, Rafael Hidalgo, has negotiated with the Council for races to take place between the 12th and 29th of June on the beach, as has been customary now for 167 years.
The Ruta de la Manzanilla y el Tapeo de sanlucar is up and running with 30 central bars offering a tapa and a glass of Manzanilla for 2,50 euros. Well worth a little "pub crawl"!
Furthermore, there are conferences, bodega visits, tastings, trips round vineyard areas, dinners and Heaven knows what else! All the main bodegas are involved, so if you can get there this month, it is not to be missed!
