Under the Vines

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. All goes so well that Talbot asks them to watch his prize turkey for a few days. But then the turkey disappears, and to make matters worse, their frost-fighting fan explodes ahead of a frost forecast for that night. Tippy goes old school by heating the vineyard with flaming pots and help from the community.

Daisy and Louis attend Marissa"s infamous book club but thanks to Nic, Daisy gets the wrong book to read. David"s daughter Sienna is there doing a recital of her poetry, and Daisy gets tongue-tied meeting her for the first time. Later, Louis discovers Hilary"s eyesight is failing, which caused her vintage to fail, too. He goes on a crusade to find her barrels of wine to blend.

The Oakley crew head to Queenstown to support Tippy at a wine conference she"s speaking at. After Daisy kindly donates her fancy hotel room to pregnant Nic and Vic, she and Louis end up sharing a dodgy motel room. When Louis overhears Philippe arguing with another vintner, it confirms his suspicion that Philippe has been duplicitous before, and he plots with Daisy to expose him.

Daisy and Louis discuss what happened in Queenstown, and they"re not quite on the same page. Meanwhile it turns out Tippy"s new blend is incredible, although she"s left Oakley thinking she"s a failure. Louis decides to declare his feelings for Daisy, but his grand romantic gesture hits a snag. Later, an old friend of Stanley"s turns up with news about Oakley that will rock everything to the core.

Rebecca Gibney and Charles Edwards discuss their character's growth and share their experience filming the second season of Under the Vines.
