UNDER THE VINES, SEASON 2 I can’t help but watch Under the Vines with a smile on my face (and maybe a glass of wine in my hand). This charming New Zealand show follows two unlikely business partners — uptight British lawyer Louis and Australian socialite Daisy — as they operate a struggling vineyard. I love the classic will-they-won’t-they dynamic between Louis and Daisy, and this season throws a lot at them: from the arrival of Louis’ English wife to Daisy’s introduction to a handsome local doctor. The supporting cast is always great fun as well, delivering plenty of laughs and heartwarming moments. It’s just delightful to watch and Passport members get exclusive early access to the new season starting Saturday, August 1.
