Autumn in the Vineyard

This Hallmark romance centers on two families---the Baldwins and the DeLucas---with a history of feuding. Both are vintners in a valley where they battle every year for recognition of their new vintages.

Frankie Baldwin (Rachael Leigh Cook) and Nate DeLuca (Brandon Penny) dated years ago. When Nate returns to the valley after securing his Ph. D., they discover they both have a financial interest in a local winery. The battle lines are drawn and they decide on a bet to determine who will gain full ownership of the Sorrento Winery.

Cook and Penny are strong leads and the chemistry between them is strong enough to make their love-hate relationship believable. I see that two sequels to this film were made in 2017 and 2019.

Based on the novel, Autumn In The Vineyard (A St. Helena Vineyard Novel) by Marina Adair, this is a fun and quirky film that is sure to delight It has crime tape, a grape picking competition, betting parents, meddling friends, and one big fire. You can see the thin line between annoyance and love between the 2 main characters. You root for their love but laugh at their ups and downs. It's great to see a real relationship played on TV without technology. Loved it James Welch Henderson Arkansas 4/26/21.

Sometimes you just want to sit down and enjoy a movie that has a good feel about everything.Lovely acting,Rachael leigh cook doesn't seem to age.Setting is beautiful.Even though the plot is simple,the movie is just capable of bringing a smile on your face.I hope more people watch this.

This is my favorite Hallmark fall movie. RLC has great chemistry with all of her male leads but it's extra special with Brendan. They really are the perfect pairing! Also, let's give it up to Mittens- the cute vineyard llama!

At the first sigh, all is so familiar than it seems be the option only for Hallmark fans. And, off course, it is it. But... . The family clashes, the competition, the vineyard, the gentle touch of ordinary problems are just well used. So, the result is not boring, not pink and not only for the fans. The acting is far to be so bad and few scenes - from the picking of the grapes to the effort to prevent the fire eating the vineyard, from the dialogues between parents to the simplicity defining the story are just good points. So, not remarkable but nice at whole.
