Une Idylle d'automne

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.

Love that movie. Great acting and scenery. Only question is where was this movie filmed?

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.

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!

I found the lead actress in this to be quite abrasive and overly harsh. I feel it would have been more realistic for them to be friendlier. It made the eventual romance feel so forced and fake. I enjoyed the sequels much better than this first installment, simply because the bickering was too much.
