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

I enjoyed both movies and I truly hope more will be made. For some reason I like those two actors together.

This movie is a totally unnecessary sequel. It's completely boring to anyone who isn't running a winery. Their business and financial problems are so mundane. Not much romance drama or anything else.The scenery doesn't even look like Napa.Don't bother.

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.
