Denise Boutté “The Young and the Restless,” Why Did I Get Married?) and Colin Lawrence (“Virgin River,” “Riverdale”) star in the Mahogany presentation Napa Ever After, a new, original movie premiering Saturday, August 26 (8 p.m. ET/5PT), on Hallmark Channel as part of the network’s Annual Summer Nights programming event.
After inheriting her estranged grandmother’s vineyard in Napa Valley, Cassandra (Boutté), a very single high-powered attorney, takes a sabbatical from her job to renovate the property that was the source of the fractures within her family. Once an award-winning winery and destination wedding venue, Eloi Vineyards is in disrepair and on the brink of bankruptcy. With the help of Alec (Lawrence), a handsome local widower, Cassandra sets out to reclaim her family legacy by reviving the vineyard in time for her dear friend Lena (Tiffany Yvonne Cox, “Reasonable Doubt”) to have the first wedding there in years. Through the process, Cassandra discovers more about her family and opens her heart to a new love.
“Napa Ever After” is from Hallmark Media. Tia A. Smith is the executive producer. Produced by Charles Cooper. Alfons Adetuyi directed from a script by Nina Weinman, based on a story by Wendy Eley-Jackson.
