Best time to go to La Clé
Summer (Dec–Feb) is vibrant and sun-soaked, perfect for poolside lounging and al fresco vineyard lunches. Autumn (Mar–May) is arguably the most beautiful, as the vineyards turn to gold and crimson during the exciting harvest season. Spring (Sep–Nov) brings the estate to life with blossoming orchards and wisteria, while Winter (Jun–Aug) offers a cozy, romantic escape with red wine and crackling firesides.
