Almost Harvest tme at Gold Hill Vineyards

Cavalier

My favorite time of year to shoot grapes and vineyards is just before harvest and then when the leaves start to change in Autumn. I normally trek to Shenandoah Valley in Amador County, Ca - a spectacular valley of vineyards - the Napa Valley of Gold Country. But this year I am keeping tabs on Gold Hill Vineyards just outside of Marshall Gold Discovery park (Coloma, Ca), mainly because it's closer to home .

Love the colors and plumpness of these.

And this one from February - before all the good stuff starts .

I look forward to seeing more from here as the season progresses.

Love the shot of the grapes!

Jo, I really love the two shots of the grapes.

Cavalier

Thanks Denise and Sara. Grapes are one of my favorite subjects - and I don't even drink wine

Thanks Steve. I always have fun in the vineyards!

Love the whites shot.

I shoot Napa Valley and very few whites reside there

Sweet set Jo!

thanks Rags - I think that's my favorite. You should try coming over to Shenandoah sometime - I think you'd like it.
