Episode 1 of 6

In New Zealand, a broke Sydney socialite and a disgraced London lawyer arrive at the small vineyard each believes they have inherited outright. Earthy comedy drama set in central Otago.

Sydney socialite Daisy Munroe and London lawyer Louis Oakley travel to New Zealand believing they are each sole heirs to a vineyard estate, only to discover that lawyer and vintner Vic Grimes’s definition of 'sole heirs' is flexible and that their idealistic notions of owning a vineyard, in reality, are less Tuscan romance and more dilapidated money pit.

Finding themselves stuck with each other and a vineyard-sized problem to get rid off, they set about making a deal with influential locals Don and Marissa Silverton to sell it, but when the Peak View Wine Show brings a surprise for all, they wonder if the vineyard may not be as worthless as they first thought.

With a change of heart and going home seemingly out of the question, will they make a go of the vineyard, or is disaster just around the corner?
