The visit of this cellar, which has existed since 1835, lasts about 2 h (with the generous tasting), it is a great mass in honor of Tio Pepe and his founding father. The family brand markets not only a fino that sells very well, it is one of the Spanish products most exported in the world (more than 115 countries), but also a multitude of other beverages (different wines and brandys). A small train leads visitors to cellar cellar through vineyards and beautiful gardens to the shop. The guided tour includes a variety of explanations on the breeding of wines, a slide show and a passage in rows of barrels signed by different personalities: from Orson Welles to Ayrton Senna through many crowned heads.

The highlight of the show remains the unusual encounter with a colony of mice, great tasting finishes.
