The Winery

Vineyard heiress Natalie Moore loves her job as the company's marketing and distribution executive. She never has to worry about money or even her next date - there's plenty of both on the 11,000+ acre Apotheca estate which has been kept in the family for 4 generations. Her world of privilege, though hard-earned, is about to change. A corporate buyout of another family's vineyard has forced Natalie to work with Jake Corentin, the grape-growing guru of Estetic, their own existing heir to the company. Through negotiations, everyone on both sides of the vine stay employed to learn from each other to grow the most luxurious blends of wine, to become one of the most prevalent labels in the country.

The two heirs are torn by their successor roles for the companies they love and what's best for each of them professionally and personally. Both are stubborn, passionate and when sabotage strikes the fields and their respective families, they're faced with challenges neither thought they would be dealing with so young in their careers. What started out as a competitive rivalry seems to be turning into a flirtatious blending of two families and two varietals. However, Natalie's determined to protect her family's legacy and the business, while Jake insists on protecting the vines. Will they be able to work together to dominate the wine industry and their passion for grapes and each other?
