A taste of Andalucia

Just as the professional ham cutter is trained in cutting, the “venenciador” is the professional who serves the “generoso” wines in an artistic, professional way and with an unmistakable style with his tool that always accompanies him as an extension of his arm: the Venencia. The “venencia” originates in the wineries where once the deal of the purchase and sale of the batches of wine was closed, it was toasted with a glass of wine that was extracted from the casks with a utensil called “venencia”. This way of serving wine in the glasses was born to seal commercial agreements (compromise) becoming part of social events and prestigious celebrations. Perfectly uniformed with their characteristic clothing, the “venenciador” "pulls" the wine from a certain height so that it oxygenates and when breaking in the “catavino” it is possible to extract all the flavour and smell of this privileged wine such as the wine of Jerez and the “manzanilla” of San Lucar. We can therefore include in our wine tasting the service of a “venenciador” who will not only serve us the wines in a masterful way but will also tell us the history of his art. We estimate the duration of the wine tasting with a “venenciador” in about 60 minutes approximately. SERVICE OF AS PROFESSIONAL “VENENCIADOR” THE ART OF THE “VENENCIA”
