It’s one of the most common questions we’re asked by corporate teams planning an offsite or client event.
The short answer? There is no “best” season – only the right date for your schedule.
Many guests imagine full grape bunches and lush green canopies. Those showstopping moments tend to arrive in August and September, although they depend entirely on how the season has unfolded. But what we share with every client is this:
A vineyard is remarkable all year round.
Each season brings its own rhythm:
• Winter: pruning, tying down and the quiet craft that sets the foundation for the year ahead.
• Spring: preparation, new energy and the first signs of life across the estate.
• Summer: canopy work in full flow, with the vineyard team shaping the growing season.
• Year-round: blending, bottling and the release of new vintages – there is always movement behind the scenes.
And, of course, the British weather has a mind of its own. A July date can bring showers…while a February morning can greet you with crisp blue skies.
That’s why our guidance is simple: choose the date that aligns with your diary. We’ll take care of the rest – crafting an experience that feels purposeful, considered and consistently exceptional, whatever the season.
