Holiday in the Vineyards

If you're looking for a fun, feel good rom com to take your mind off reality for a couple hours you've found it. You've got a talented cast (even the kids seemed to be pretty good actors for kids in a movie like this), a fun if familiar storyline and some great dialogue. The two main actors are definitely up and comers and definitely worth checking out. This movie won't change your politics or cause you to question any of your major life decisions, but it's a couple hours of fun that flies by like a Christmas party with old friends. If you are into rom coms you should definitely give this one a watch.

This was much better than expected. Privileged son of a wine family is tasked with a job by his mom -- they are looking to buy a vineyard and "Carter" (Josh Swickard) is to go find out what the bids are going to be. But Carter needs to blend in to get information so he can't stay in luxury. Carter while out scoping runs into the real estate agent with the vineyard listing who also happens to offer him lodging in her guest house, if he will help her fix it up. Long story short she thinks he is a handyman. Of course.... sparks fly.

This was absolutely better than regular Hallmark fare. Josh Swickard, in addition to actually being good looking, has mad charisma (and looks like Colin from Bridgerton). The supporting cast is solid. The only quibble is that the lead actress Sol Rodriguez is not that great and is the deadwood of the story. But still enjoyable.

A widow who wants to save a local vineyard meets a stranger both fell in love but she has certain limitations like her two kids, save the local vineyard or the stranger. Her struggle and emotions beautifully captured.

When she came to know that, the stranger is a well known businesswoman's son, did she take it forward?

A romantic film, which is a feel good movie and a good entertainer to watch this movie on Christmas. Dont miss.

Watch this beautiful Christmas Movie, and Merry Christmas.

Watch this movie on Netflix.

Rating: Good Movie.

A spoiled rich man/boy likes to party and get in trouble, but he's supposed to work with his mother to help her run a large wine company. The father died some years back, now she runs the business, it's dog eat dog and she's top dog. He gets tired of living in his mom's shadow, so to speak, but he has no choice so he goes on assignment to spy out a small winery that is up for sale. The people of the small town are trying to buy it, but they have to pool their resources to do so. He is undercover, pretending to be some traveler who happens to be in town, helps out this woman and her two kids. She lets him move into a guest house if he helps with construction of it. He doesn't know anything about carpentry, but he likes this lady and her two sons.

Eventually the truth must come out and it's his family that is going to buy this winery right out from under these precious townsfolk, and his secret will be displayed for all to see and will he have any chance to be in a relationship with this beautiful woman once she knows the truth?

This is a clever script with lots of entertaining dialogue and interactions. This film is a couple levels above the usual Christmas stuff out there, however it still lacks in some key areas, such as flow and overall feel. Something is off a bit, but anyway, it's a nice love story.

This plot is what you expect. But, the writing is truly adult conversations with grown up relationship witticisms. Not the tripe of Hallmark. We both enjoyed it and it was nice to hear clever dialogue. There's a talented cast (even the kids seemed to appeared as you'd expect). The two main actors are definitely winners and worth checking out. And the secondary actors are strong in their own right. They provide the comical aspect. The story kept the banker way in the background so you don't see any ludicrous across the desk back and forth or whining. A couple hours of fun and easy enjoyment. If you are into romantic comedies you should definitely give this one a look.
