Wine Country

On a long weekend in California, a tight knit circle of friends travels to the wine country for a birthday celebration. Abby, Naomi, Rebecca, Catherine, and the rest swap stories, sip through tastings, and chase old jokes as the trip stretches from wine tasting to late night chats. The plan is simple: toast one friend's 50th and rekindle their bond while trading gossip, plans, and a few honest confessions. The journey tests the limits of the group as old roles surface, rivalries rise to the surface, and the town's scenic hills become a backdrop for candid conversations. The tone stays buoyant with quick quips, shared memories, and the warmth that comes with years of knowing each other.

Released in 2019 on Netflix, Wine Country is directed by Amy Poehler. It stems from an original screenplay by Emily Spivey and Liz Cackowski, featuring an ensemble of friends in a zany yet warm celebration of female friendship on screen.

Wine Country is notable for reuniting a core set of SNL alum and delivering a relaxed ensemble vibe that fans of female driven comedy recognize. It also signals Netflix interest in stories about aging friendships and long time bonds, resonating with viewers who value honesty and humor in everyday life for many viewers.

Critics welcomed the lighthearted tone and warm focus on friendship, while noting the film leans into laughs over sharp satire. Themes center on aging, loyalty, and the dynamics of a longtime group facing new life stages together, balancing nostalgia with present day truths, worldwide audiences watching today.

Box office data for Wine Country is not widely reported since it was released as a Netflix original, so there are no theatrical grosses to cite. The streaming release means traditional box office metrics don't apply for many viewers worldwide.
