New Hallmark movie
In Napa Ever After, Boutté stars as Cassandra, a high-powered attorney who lives in the city. When her estranged grandmother passes away, Cassandra is surprised to find out she has inherited the family’s vineyard in Napa Valley.
Once an award-winning winery and destination wedding venue, Eloi Vineyards is in disrepair and on the brink of bankruptcy. Cassandra takes a sabbatical from work to renovate the property, which has been the source of a lot of tension in her family.
Despite her plans to get the business up and running and then return to her life in the city, Cassandra finds herself charmed by the beautiful property, and by the handsome widower (played by Colin Lawrence) who helps her with the work.
According to a synopsis from Hallmark, “Cassandra sets out to reclaim her family legacy by reviving the vineyard in time for her dear friend Lena (Tiffany Yvonne Cox…) to have the first wedding there in years. Through the process, Cassandra discovers more about her family and opens her heart to a love like she’s never known.”
