Bodegas Tío Pepe is the historic sherry winery complex in Jerez de la Frontera, founded by González Byass and now one of the most iconic enotourism destiSpains in the world. It’s a full architectural and cultural micro-city: Andalusian patios, vine-shaded lanes, 19th-century bodegas, and the famous Calle Ciegos — voted among the most beautiful streets globally.

Tío Pepe is a perfect example of how architecture, agriculture, and civic identity braid together: The vine-covered streets create a living canopy — a microclimate and a metaphor for sheltering tradition. The barrel cathedrals (Los Apóstoles, La Constancia) operate like ritual chambers of fermentation and memory. The Calle Ciegos functions as a symbolic threshold: a shaded, almost cloister-like passage where time feels suspended. The brand icon — the bottle with red jacket and hat — is a piece of vernacular pop-mythology, a civic mascot as much as a wine label.
