Plot Synopsis

UNDER THE VINES is a dramedy series that follows two unlikely city slickers who inherit a failing vineyard in rural New Zealand. Despite neither having ever done a hard days' work in their lives and both despising the other, they must somehow make the vineyard successful so they can sell up, split up, and get out of there. Sydney socialite Daisy Munroe heads to Peak View, New Zealand for a vacation at her recently deceased stepfather's winery, which she intends to sell. Little does she know that the vineyard has a co-owner, grumpy UK-born lawyer, Louis Oakley, who also travels to the wine region to escape a spiraling series of unfortunate events in his life. Despite neither having done a hard days' work in their lives and both despising each other, the two must somehow make Oakley Winery successful so they can sell up, split up and get out.

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, the handsome local doctor.
