Under the Vines

Introduction of cast members and their roles

Featurette describing the filming location, Black Ridge Winery in Alexandra New Zealand

When Sydney socialite Daisy Munroe and London lawyer Louis Oakley jointly inherit a New Zealand vineyard, they discover that they are not the "sole heirs" as they believed and that the vineyard itself is a dilapidated money pit. The disenchanted pair plan to sell the estate to influential locals, but after a surprise at a wine show, they wonder if the vineyard may not be worthless after all.

Daisy gets her hands dirty with Tippy and Gus, while Louis gets more insight from Hilary than he bargained for. Daisy and Louis hope to ease their financial woes with a visit to the bank but discover that failing to comply with the "law of the land" can have consequences. Daisy makes the ultimate sacrifice to give the run-down vineyard a chance of survival - or will it merely be a stay of execution?

Louis's reunion with his family is underwhelming, while at Oakley, Daisy informs Gus and Tippy of her plans to have the vineyard represented in the Behind the Vines showcase, to mixed response. Tippy struggles with confidence while Gus's inability to master the art of the haggle leads Daisy to a negotiation with the attractive Ben, only to discover she may be flirting with the enemy.

Daisy, Griff, and Louis's whole family are living under the same roof, a situation made even more challenging by relationship troubles. Louis makes a last-ditch attempt to save his marriage, while Griff tries to rescue his romance with Gus by coming out online. At rival winery Shimmering Lake, Marissa plots to bring Oakley down a peg by hiring flashy French vintner Philippe Bidois—Tippy's cousin.

Harvest is fast approaching, so Tippy gives everyone a lesson in the delicate art of grape-picking. The problem is everyone gets too distracted to focus. Daisy goes off on a walk with Nic and meets handsome local doctor David. Vic asks Louis to help him out with a potentially serious legal problem. And Gus and Griff decide to go on their first romantic trip away together.

Facing financial pressures, Oakley Wines invites the bank manager, Mr. Talbot, for a tour; their frost-fighting fan explodes ahead of a frost forecast; Tippy goes old school by heating the vineyard with flaming pots and help from the community.

We return to Oakley Wines with Daisy Monroe and Louis Oakley trying to legally oust the annoying William who claims he owns half the vineyard.

In an effort to get William out of the house, Daisy challenges him to a winner-takes-all game of ‘Texas Hold ‘em’, but can she and the Oakley team beat a former professional poker player?

Daisy and Louis try to steel Williams’ thunder at the opening of their new cellar door but are distracted by the impending arrival of Nic and Vic’s twin babies.
