BODEGAS DIOS BACO
Wineries / Jerez de la Frontera
Description
The origins of the bodega date back to 1765. At the beginning of the twentieth century the company Bodegas Palomino & Vergara was founded by Don Juan Vergara and Don Juan Palomino.
In 1992 Don José Páez Morilla, current owner of the bodega acquired the firm and created Bodegas Dios Baco S.L. with the aim of entering the difficult world of sherry production with products of unbeatable quality, limited production and returning to the origins of its foundation.
The bodegas originally formed part of a complex of twelve bodegas known as “the Twelve Disciples”, being the same number as Christ’s Apostles. Only three of these bodegas currently remain standing: Bodega de Baco, Bodega de la Cruz and the Bodega de Extracción.
Inside the Bodega Dios Baco facilities is a typical sherry tavern serving wine from the cask, an events room that seats 150 and various meeting or conference rooms.
