Why the light comes early here
Rows run east to west with an open western edge, so the sun drops cleanly across the vines and golden hour runs close to full length. The times on this page pull golden hour earlier by 5 minutes to match what you will actually see through the lens, so plan couple portraits inside that adjusted window.
