I started off yesterday with a “off the schedule” visit to Bodegas Lustau, which was great. I first went there about a year and a half ago and this time we were shown around by Juan, followed by a tasting of their fabulous sherries.

In the evening the course officially started off with a history lesson in El Puerto de Santa María followed by dinner in the San Marco castle. There are 25 of us taking the course. So far I’ve only met and spoken with a few of them. Now dashing off for an action-packed Day Two. So thrilled to be doing this.
