Located in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, near the Guadalquivir River, Bodegas Hidalgo La Gitana spans more than 170 hectares of vineyards in the renowned Sherry wine region. The name "La Gitana," meaning "Gypsy Woman," originates from a bar in Málaga where the famous Manzanilla La Gitana wine was first celebrated. Today, this esteemed estate produces around 200 cases of exquisite wines and brandies each year.
Founded in 1792 by Don José Pantaleón Hidalgo, the winery has been passed down through eight generations of the Hidalgo family. Don José transformed a small warehouse, Don Roque Vejarano, into a thriving winery. By the 19th century, the estate gained international acclaim as a leading producer of Manzanilla wines. Today, the Hidalgo family continues this legacy, crafting award-winning white and fortified wines from estate-grown grapes.
Approximately three-fourths of the wines produced at Hidalgo La Gitana are Manzanilla. The family cultivates three distinct grape varieties—Palomino, Pedro Ximénez, and Moscatel—on their prime vineyards in Sanlúcar and Balbaína. Additionally, the winery features a charming restaurant, Entreboots, nestled within the historic wine cellar, offering visitors a unique dining experience amidst the rich heritage of winemaking.

Write a reviewWe were there on Saturday. The winery is a real gem, a temple of wine. I think you have to admire it with the respect it deserves. The smell, the darkness, the silence, the wines it treasures, it is a real luxury to contemplate. And Soraya, who was our guide, makes you feel it. Her explanation is magnificent and entertaining at the same time. She shows great knowledge of everything she conveyed and you can also see that she feels it. So, a great success and an unforgettable visit for me.

Thanks to Victor, who introduced us to the world of Sherry (and to Manzanilla in particular), we had a wonderful tour through the warehouse. The atmosphere is absolutely unique, the Sherrys are very tasty and the background information is really interesting. This, and Victors passion for the wine and the bodega, made this our favorite tour!
