A wine company nepo baby whose chief concern is partying his inheritance away meets a single realtor while scouting a new vineyard location over the holidays. As he adopts a new lease on life in small-town California, there’s just one hitch: He’s pretending to be a working-class guy — all so he can land a sweet deal on a bargain property. Will he evade detection in wine country or get kicked to the curb by Christmas? Directed by Alex Ranarivelo (Born a Champion), Holiday in the Vineyards stars Josh Swickard, Sol Rodriguez, and two-time Daytime Emmy winner Eileen Davidson.

Baldwyn Wines has bad wine but good investments, and they’re looking to add another vineyard, Huckabee Estate, to their vast portfolio. Unfortunately for hard-partying Carter (Swickard), the Baldwyn Wines CEO — his mom, Margo (Davidson) — is tasking him with attending a bidding war for the property over the holidays in a place called Los Santos. Specifically, Margo wants him to find out everything there is to know about their bidding competitors in order to outbid them by Christmas Eve — without giving away he’s from Baldwyn Wines.
While scoping out the winery, Carter meets widow and single mom of two, Valentina (Rodríguez), the realtor selling Huckabee Estate. Carter lies and says he’s a carpenter, so Val suggests he stay in her guesthouse for free — if he’s willing to fix up the place for her. Carter bonds with Val’s young sons and begins to fall for the people of Los Santos — including Val. But will the truth about who he really is shatter his newfound dreams of small-town life with Val?
Nope, it’s original.
