The Centro de Dinamización Enoturistica del
Marco – or the
Consejo’s wine tourism centre – has now opened. With the Consejo turning 80
years old it was time for a facelift and to project a more modern image. The
ground floor of the building will act as a great shop window for Sherry, Brandy
and Vinegar where visitors can get the necessary information to plan visits to
bodegas or the Rutas del Vino. All the Consejo leaflets and the tasting kit
will be available for sale here.

On one wall
there is a simulation of a stack of butts with glass touchscreens offering
tourist information, and on the facing wall there are shelves laden with
examples of the Sherries, brandies and vinegars available. There is another,
similarly styled area, in which tastings tutorials and food matching can be
done, a place for Sherry education. The adjacent bodega of San Ginés has seen
improvements to its lighting and PA system and will serve to complement the new
space with seasonal exhibitions and events. This is the ideal first stop for
visitors to Jerez.
