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 London 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 Londoners 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 London highlights of this double-digit birthday – expected to be the biggest, most exciting and best tasting Sherry Week yet – include:

· A Sherry Week Celebration at Meson don Felipe (Southwark, SE1), where they are offering a complimentary tapa with every glass of Sherry;
· A Sherry Discovery Experience at Ibérica Victoria (SW1), which includes a selection of five different sherries, each paired with savoury nibbles from the restaurant’s own delicatessen;
· Sherry and Pintxo at Barrica Tapas Bar (Camden, W1T), which are seasonal dishes crafted from the freshest market ingredients and paired with various Sherry styles;
· A self-guided Sherry Tasting at Gordon’s Wine Bar (Charing Cross, WC2), comprising a trio of Sherries that can be enjoyed throughout the day (no reservations taken here);
· A Sherry Cocktail at BiBo Shoreditch (EC2), where they are mixing up a BiBo Old Fashion in this lively, urban space, perfect for sipping alongside casual lunches and spirited dinners.

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.

Sherry Week’s total tally of impressions on Twitter is an astonishing 157 million, with almost 74,000 social media posts with the hashtag #sherryweek, and over 240,000 likes on Instagram**.
