Amy Poehler makes her directorial debut with Wine Country. You can stream the comedy NOW on Netflix.
Wine Country follows six longtime best friends—played by SNL alums Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer, Rachel Dratch, Paula Pell, and Emily Spivey on a girls’ trip to California’s Napa Valley. The gang is celebrating Rebecca (Dratch) on her 50th birthday with an extravagant weekend planned by Abby (Poehler).
The group drinks (surprise surprise) a TON of wine and experience a whole lot of laughs and a decent amount of drama. The film is loosely based on a real girls’ trip to Napa for Dratch’s actual 50th birthday!
Tina Fey lends her talents to the movie in a small role as the groups home rental landlord, and her cameos add some hilarious boosts to the story!

About Wine Country
In honor of Rebecca’s (Rachel Dratch) 50th birthday, Abby (Amy Poehler) plans a scenic Napa getaway with their best, longtime friends. Workaholic Catherine (Ana Gasteyer), post-op Val (Paula Pell), homebody Jenny (Emily Spivey), and weary mom Naomi (Maya Rudolph) are equally sold on the chance to relax and reconnect. Yet as the alcohol flows, real-world uncertainties intrude on the punchlines and gossip, and the women begin questioning their friendships and futures. A hilarious and heartfelt comedy directed by Amy Poehler, Wine Country co-stars Tina Fey, Jason Schwartzman, and Cherry Jones.
