SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

pauline-13984 Summer in Napa are nothing like the book, a very poor imitation fact. Summer in Napa is totally about Marco Deluca and Alexis Moreau (not Nate Deluca and Frankie Baldwin( Baudoin in book) .The book plot is that Alexis returns home to St Helena to help run and renovate her grandmothers bakery following her divorce from a rat who kept their restaurant and cheats her out of her recipes, she has trust issues. The gran and her friends including chi chi the Deluca's gran are matchmaking the couple without them realising.Marco runs the Grand Hotel and is in charge of reintroducing an annual festival, he is a playboy who deosn't do relationships but something about Lexi has him hooked but he fights it. Alexis (Lexi) has to compete to be the chef to cook for it. He is her ex husbands friend who is making a deal behind her back which will affect their growing relationship when it comes to light.they have chemistry he denies is he wants more until he nearly loses her and calls out his friend over his treatment of Lexi when he realises his life is empty without her so they can have their HEA. Does this sound anything like this movie NO it makes Nate and Frankie the main characters and Marco and Lexi minor characters.the story in this movie is pathetic and very bland. Hallmark should at least try to stick to the story line,the romance like a lot of their movies nearly nonexsistent, anyway the film was totally disappointing. Why Marina allowed her lovely books to be changed to this unrecognizable junk i have no idea yes i know is an adaptation but still if i was her i would disassociate myself from this travesty. i thought the casting of the Deluca men was great though not so much Frankie, actress who was cast as Lexi hardy had enough screen time to comment. the 2 stars are for casting

rebekahrox A pale sequel to the very good Autumn in the Vineyard. The same beautiful landscapes without any of the interesting suspenseful plot points and multidimensional characters of the original. Frankie and Nate are trying to keep their new venture afloat but have conflicting management styles and suffer from a lack of communication. At the end they learn to work together. Thanks to a miracle at the end their vineyard is saved. Yawn.

Miss M If you haven't watched "Autumn in the vineyard" you won't be able to understand what's going on. I actually have to re-watch the first movie a couple of days ago, that being said...I LOVED the first movie and i'm glad the sequel isn't a disaster. Nate and Frankie are now together as a couple (but not living together or did I misunderstood?) and working together as business partners and after an incident they end up hosting not one but two events. So, of course they have a few problems and have to balance both sides of the coin to be successful.I'm happy to say that it exceeded my expectations. Both leads did a great job again, their characters where disgustingly adorable together, and it's nice to see them move forward in their relationship and their business. Learning its ups and downs and realizing that, in the end, they complement each other. They have to work together to get things done. After all, a couple -and a partnership- works if only there is communication.The landscape is still breathtaking.There is even a side story-line which I enjoyed. Once again, Brendan Penny - and Rachael Leigh Cook - had me smiling for one hour and half. Watch it, you won't regret it.

NJS Wow! I loved Autumn in the Vineyard. I haven't even finished this, but I plan to. I just wanted to offer my opinion from what I've seen so far. The dialogue was so hard to follow and the storyline as well. The director assumed you knew the past story. The characters were talking so quickly that I could barely understand what they were saying. Maybe it will get better as I watch the movie but such a disappointment from the first one.
