Under the Vines Series 2
“Delightful comedy-drama ... this is sunshine in a bottle” — The Spinoff
Charming romantic comedy drama Under the Vines returns featuring Sydney socialite Daisy Monroe (Rebecca Gibney) and ex-London lawyer Louis Oakley (Charles Edwards) trying to run a struggling Vineyard in southern New Zealand.
As Daisy comes to terms with her new life, Louis tries to repair his old one before returning to England. But ultimately his marriage fails and he stays on to help Daisy run Oakley Wines. The two unlikely partners in wine continue to navigate life in Peak View and its population of quirky locals and Machiavellian rivals. But any chance of romance between the two is muddied when Daisy meets David (Kirk Torrance) the handsome local doctor.
Meanwhile Oakley’s young vintner Tippy has her world is shaken by the arrival of Shimmering Lake’s new rockstar French vintner, Philippe Bidois. And he’s her cousin.
A light drama with a rom-com touch, set amidst the grandeur of New Zealand’s renowned Central Otago wine region, Under the Vines is a series with wine, a healthy dash of humour, and a whole lot of heart.
