Reception[edit]
Liz Kocan from the Decider give the film positive review and praised performances:, wrote in her review: "Holiday in the Vineyards doesn’t really need the hook of the holidays to make it worth your time: it’s a great romantic comedy suitable for any time of year."[4] Carla Hay from the Culture Mix wrote in her review: "“Holiday in the Vineyards” is pleasant and predictable, but not in a way that's cloying or irritating. Unlike many romantic comedies of its kind, everything in the story is believable. Some parts are dull and uneven, but the movie is watchable overall. It's the type of film where most viewers will know how the movie ends before the movie begins, but the movie's characters will keep viewers interested."[5]
The film was Netflix's top 10 film in the global chart upon its release.[6]
