that is set in 2383 a mere four years after the date of Nemesis
No it's not... they said on screen that it had been
25 years since they had served together... The "present" timeline of All Good Things was 2370, putting the future timeline
at least in 2395.
Why would the script describe the vineyard seen as stardate 47xxx + 25 years?
Also later on in the script are the references to Data's office and his clothing which are described as 24th century, therefore the earliest date can be 2395 and no later than 2400. How old do you want Picard to be? Over a 100? That is just ludricrous.
3A ANGLE - CLOSE ON A VINE
4 EXT. VINEYARD - FUTURE - DAY
We are now twenty-five years in the future. Picard is
an OLD MAN, wearing civilian clothes and a hat to
protect himself from the sun. He has a beard and
longer hair. (But he should not look as old as he did
at the end of "The Inner Light".) He is kneeling in a
row of grape vines at his home in France (as seen in
"Family").

4 CONTINUED:
He is reaching out for a vine with the same hand and in
the same manner that we just saw him hold out his cup
in Troi's quarters. As his hand closes around the
vine, he hesitates. He seems disoriented, confused for
a moment, just as he described to Troi. He looks
around the vineyard in puzzlement. But the moment
passes, and he accepts this time as the present.
He concentrates on examining the vine in his hand. He
takes a pruning shear and snips off a few stray
branches. There are gardening tools nearby. He works
quietly for a moment... then we hear a voice shout
across the vineyard.
GEORDI'S VOICE
(calls out)
Captain Picard to the Bridge!
Picard reacts, a little surprised. He looks toward the
sound of the voice, shielding his eyes from the sun...
5 NEW ANGLE
revealing GEORDI walking toward Picard. He is wearing
civilian clothes and he has also aged twenty-five
years. His VISOR is gone and has been replaced by
ARTIFICIAL EYES, which have a distinctive electronic
look to them. Geordi is smiling broadly.
GEORDI
(with humor)
Sir, I think we have a problem
with the warp core, or the phase
inducers, or some other damn
thing.
Picard stands up with some difficulty. He's old, and
his voice and attitude should suggest advanced age and
an eccentric, sometimes cantankerous demeanor.
PICARD
Geordi...
The two men approach each other and shake hands --
these are two old friends who haven't seen each other
in a very long time.
GEORDI
Hello, Captain... or should I make
that Ambassador?

5 CONTINUED:
PICARD
(snorts)
Hasn't been Ambassador for a while
either.
GEORDI
How about Mister Picard?
PICARD
How about... Jean-Luc?
GEORDI
(smiles)
I don't know if I can get used to
that.
They look at each other for a moment, taking in the
sight.
PICARD
Good Lord, Geordi. How long has
it been?
GEORDI
Oh... about nine years.
PICARD
No, no... I mean, since you last
called me Captain? When was the
last time we were all together...
on the Enterprise?
GEORDI
Close to twenty-five years.
PICARD
Twenty-five years...
(looks him over)
Time's been good to you.
