5 Places To Sample Vermouth in Seville

Sweet vermouth has long been a pillar of Spanish tradition and, whilst ‘abuelos’ throughout the country have never  abandoned their favorite aperitif, in recent years the drink has been enjoying a renaissance all over Spain!

You’d be forgiven for immediately associating vermouth with a Dry Martini or Manhattan, but here in Spain this fortified wine is infused with botanicals such as cinnamon, cardamom and even ginger to create a vermouth unique to each bar! Here we highlight the best places to try some delicious vermouth in Seville.

1. El Rinconcillo

Perhaps the most talked-about bar in all of Seville, El Rinconcillo is also the city’s oldest! From its incredible tiled walls to the smartly dressed waiters, everything about this bar screams tradition, right down to the way they scribble down your bill in chalk on the bar! The vermouth here is outstanding, especially when paired with a few wafer-thin slices of delicious cured ham, sliced on-site from one of the many pig’s legs neatly hanging from the bars ceiling! In line with longstanding tradition, there are not many places to sit in this bar, so prop yourself at the bar and soak up the authentic Sevillano atmosphere.

Address: Calle Gerona, 40

2. Casa Morales

Walking in to Casa Morales is like taking a journey back in time! The main entrance leads in to a charming front bar where locals gather round small, wooden tables; but step in the side entrance to see the huge clay wine vats still in place since the bars opening as a bodega in 1850! Given its beginnings as a wine store all those years ago, Casa Morales of course has a wonderful selection of wine and sherries, but you can’t leave without trying the incredible vermouth along with a delicious selection of montaditos.
