Part 1
Addison: Have you been to Napa? Get ready for a romantic weekend in wine country!
You and your friends are headed up to Napa Valley in a luxurious party bus.
Addison: I’ve never seen so many lighted mirrors on a bus before.
Danny: These plush seats are basically sofas. It feels like I’m sitting in my living room watching TV, but we’re going 65 mph!
Addison: But the best part is that we’re going to Napa!
Danny: Wine tasting… gourmet food… mature walks… what’s not to love? Thanks again for making this trip happen, Ethan.
Ethan: No problem, Danny. My client is footing the bill. Eliza Rothchild doesn’t spare any expense for her romance films. She wants me to do some location scouting for her next rom com, but there’s no way I can cover all that ground by myself. That’s where you guys come in. We’ll split up, check out each location, and try out all the activities my client asked about.
Danny: Sounds great! What’s on the list?
Ethan: Let’s see… we have horseback riding through a vineyard, bike riding to the lake and sharing a picnic, a spa day at a bed and breakfast… And to top it all off, a romantic hot air balloon ride over the valley.
Addison nudges you.
Addison: Danny, this is the perfect chance to play matchmaker!
Danny: Oh, great idea, Addison! It’ll be so fun to send people in our Entourage on these romantic Napa dates!
Addison: OMG, Danny! We can even pair you up for the hot air balloon ride! It’ll be so cute! What do you say? Do you want to help me match up our friends on dates in Napa?
Danny: I’m in. I’m so in.
Addison: This is going to be so much fun! I can’t wait!
You and Addison start planning your matchmaking adventure as the bus continues to make its way up to Napa Valley.
Addison: Now, who have you always thought would make a cute couple?
Danny: Hmmm…
Ethan: Hey, I’m trying to assign locations to everyone. We’re here to work, remember?
Addison: Who says work can’t be fun?
Ethan: I do.
Danny: Come on, Ethan. There must be something in Napa you’re looking forward to. Think of the relaxation! Napa Valley is the best place to relax! I know we’re here on business, but promise me you’ll try to take a break at some point.
Ethan: …fine. I promise.
Finally, you pull into the Sheridan Hotel Napa Valley.
Danny: Whoa. The Sheridan could be the cover of a romance novel!
Addison: It’s so cute! It’s like a little cottage, but huge!
Ethan: Yeah, it’s definitely, uh, more quaint than the Hollywood one. They know what sells up here, and it’s not towering hotels. We’re in B&B country. I’ll get us checked in.
Rewards
After settling into your rooms, you and Addison meet Ethan in the hotel lobby.
Danny: So Ethan, what’s the first location?
Ethan: First up is Chateau Beaulieu Winery. We have reservations for a couple to go horseback riding through their vineyard.
Addison: Sounds romantic… Danny, who should we send?
Danny: I know just the couple.
Part 2
Addison: Who should we send on this horseback riding date?
Later that day, Berry and Ashton meet at the Chateau Beaulieu stables.
Berry: These horses are awesome.
Berry strokes the mane of a chestnut mare.
Berry: This one is so sweet…
Ashton: Just like you.
Berry: Aww.
Berry and Ashton saddle up their horses and ride through the rows of grapevines.
Berry: It’s so beautiful and peaceful out here… the vineyards seem to stretch for miles…
Ashton: We have to make sure we take pictures for Eliza Rothchild! This would be perfect for a tearful reunion scene.
Berry and Ashton stop the horses at a vista, and lean in close to take a few selfies.
Berry: No selfie album is complete without a kiss pic!
Ashton: Is that your excuse to get me to kiss you/
Berry: Maybe…
Ashton: All you had to do was ask…
Ashton leans in to give Berry a kiss… When suddenly, the chestnut mare rears up and runs away!
Berry: Ahhh!
Time - 4 hours
Berry’s horse runs through the vineyard, with Berry still on it!
Berry: Whoa! Slow down, girl!
Ashton chases after Berry on horseback!
Ashton: Hold on, Berry! I’m almost there!
Ashton leaps onto Berry’s horse, grabbing the reins.
Ashton: Whoa!
After much coaxing, the chestnut mare slows down to a trot.
Berry: Ashton… you saved me!
Ashton: Oh, it was nothing. I’m just glad you’re okay.
Berry: I am, but… well, as exciting as that was, I think I’m ready to go back.
Ashton: Then let’s go.
Berry and Ashton walk the horses through the grape vines toward Chateau Beaulieu. When they arrive at the stables, they’re greeted by the vineyard sommelier, who offers them a free wine tasting.
Berry: Free wine? I never say no to free wine!
Berry and Ashton follow the sommelier to a wine cellar with rustic barrels for tables. The sommelier places a tasting flight in front of them.
Ashton: Hmmmm… let’s start with this white wine.
They both sip the wine.
Ashton: Mmm. This chardonnay is a little sharp, I’d say. With a hint of… some sort of tropical fruit.
Berry: Almost… pineapple-y!
Ashton: Exactly! We should be sure to take pictures of this for the client. Maybe they want a meet-cute at a wine tasting!
Ashton snaps a few photos of Berry near the tasting flight, then they pose together for a couple selfies. Ashton kisses Berry on the cheek as the camera flashes.
Ashton: That one is just for us.
Berry: Make sure to send me a copy. Okay… let’s try the red wine next.
Berry sniffs the wine, then takes a small sip from the glass.
Ashton: It says here that Chateau Beaulieu is best-known for their pinot noir.
Berry: I can see why. This is delicious! It has a nice cherry undertone… very sweet.
Ashton and Berry continue to try to various wines until the flight is gone. Afterwards, they walk around the vineyard hand-in-hand.
Ashton: This has been a wonderful day… I’m glad I got to spend it with you.
Berry: I agree! And thanks again for saving me.
Berry leans over and gives Ashton a sweet kiss.
Ashton: Mmmmm… you taste like… pinot noir…
Berry: With cherry notes?
Ashton: And very sweet!
Ashton pulls Berry in for another kiss…
Rewards
Later that day, you, Addison, and Ethan meet up in the shade of the hotel patio.
Addison: Date one was a success!
Danny: Horseback riding… free wine tasting… how could it not be? So what’s up for date two? Ethan, where does Eliza Rothchild want us to go next?
Ethan: Let’s see…
Ethan whips out his phone and pulls up the itinerary.
Ethan: We have an afternoon bike rental arranged for two… and it looks like one of the trails goes by a farmer’s market that Eliza wanted to see.
Danny: Awww… a bike ride through the valley that ends in a picnic? That sounds perfect!
Addison: Who should we send?
Danny: I have the perfect couple in mind…
Part 3
Addison: Who should we send on this picnic date?
That afternoon, Berry and Ashton meet up and rent two bikes.
Ashton: So, where to first?
Berry: We’re going to need supplies for our picnic… let’s head to Oxbow Market!
Berry and Ashton hop on their bikes and start pedalling along the road. Soon, they reach the market.
Berry: This place is huge! Where do we even begin…?
Ashton: With the chocolate samples, of course!
Berry and Ashton make their way through the market, sampling chocolates, cheeses, and fruits as they go.
Berry: Mmmm… this manchego cheese is delicious.
Ashton: I don’t think I’ve ever had raspberries this sweet before. They’re so fresh!
Berry chronicles all of the market’s offerings via camera.
Ashton: This would be such a cool setting for a big break-up scene, with a whole crowd watching or something… I hope the client likes this place. I know I’m enjoying it. But that might just be your company.
Berry: Aww…
Ashton: All those samples were so delicious! What should we pack on our picnic?
Berry: It looks like that shop is selling picnic baskets… complete with a checkered blanket!
Ashton: Sounds perfect.
After gathering all the picnics supplies, Ashton and Berry head to the biking trails.
Ashton: According to the guidebook from the rental shop, there should be some good picnic spots along this trail. It leads right to Lake Hennessey!
Berry: Well, what are we waiting for?
Time - 6 hours
Berry and Ashton bike to a picnic spot near Lake Hennessey.
Berry: Whoa. It’s so beautiful out here. The lake seems to go on for miles.
Ashton: Look how some of the vineyards go right up to the water’s edge! It’s just so… peaceful.
Berry: Let’s sit under one of these trees.
They set up their picnic in the shade by the water.
Ashton: We have some sandwiches… some grapes and apple slices… pita chips and hummus…
Berry: Oh! They threw in a bottle of 2008 Schramsberg champagne!
Berry fills two plastic flutes with champagne and hands one to Ashton.
Berry: To us!
Ashton: And hopefully more dates like this one!
Berry and Ashton spend the afternoon leisurely enjoying their picnic.
Berry: Whew! It is hot out here.
Berry downs the rest of the champagne in the flute.
Berry: Let’s go for a dip.
Berry walks toward the lake, taking off layers along the way.
Ashton: Uh…
Berry ducks under the water before popping back up with a splash!
Berry: Come on, Ashton! Don’t tell me you’re afraid of a little water…
Ashton: Who said I was afraid?
Berry: No one had to say anything. You’re still on the shore, silly! Get in here!
Ashton joins Berry in the lake.
Ashton: Now what?
Berry: Well, there’s one thing I want to try…
Berry swims closer, wrapping an arm around Ashton. Their lips touch… and Berry smiles as Ashton deepens the kiss.
Rewards
Early the next morning, you meet Ethan and Addison at the hotel’s breakfast bar.
Danny: Hmmm… should I get pancakes or waffles?
Ethan: Why not both?
Danny: I like the way you think, Ethan.
As you add food to your plate, Addison gives you a matchmaking update.
Addison: Date two was a huge success. I don’t know how we’re going to follow it up!
Danny: I’m sure we’ll manage. What’s next?
Ethan: According to the itinerary… a spa day at a local B&B, starting with their famous chocolate breakfast.
Addison: Yum!
Danny: I know just how to send…
Part 4
Addison: Who should we send on this Spa Day date?
Berry and Ashton go down the road to the Lavender Inn.
Berry: Wow. Their garden is stunning with all the lavender in full-bloom! It smells amazing.
Ashton: Must be how the bed and breakfast got its name.
Ashton takes several pictures of Berry posing in front of the lavender-covered cottage.
Ashton: Hope Eliza Rothchild likes these photos… this B&B would be so cute for a proposal scene.
Berry: Oh, they could be in the garden, surrounded by all the flowers…
Berry and Ashton step inside the front door and are immediately greeted by the delicious scent of fresh baked goods. They are ushered into the dining room. Soon, a waitress comes to take their orders.
Berry: Hmmm… I’ll have a chocolate chip scone with lavender-infused whipped cream please! And a coffee.
Ashton: And I’ll get the double-chocolate waffles and a cup of lavender tea.
As the waitress leaves to put in their orders, Berry and Ashton look around the dining room.
Ashton: This place is so cute! It’s the perfect setting for a romantic weekend getaway.
Berry: It’s quaint, but not in a cheesy way. We have to make sure to get plenty of pictures.
Ashton: Especially of the food!
Just then, the waitress drops off their plates.
Berry: This scone is too pretty to eat! It’s like, straight from a food blog.
Ashton: These waffles are even better than they look! Here, try a bite!
Ashton and Berry take turns offering each other bites of breakfast. Finally, they empty their plates and drain their cups.
Berry: That was so yummy! I’m stuffed!
Ashton: Sounds like it’s time for our spa day to begin!
Berry: What’s up first?
Ashton: Couple’s massage!
Time - 4 hours
Berry and Ashton enter the couple’s massage room, which is filled with candles and lavender incense. Soft instrumental music plays in the corner, and two massage tables are set up in the center of the room.
Berry: This is nice… I feel relaxed already, and the massage hasn’t even started yet!
Ashton: We’d better get settled in… no peeking! Well, maybe a little peeking.
The two of them lay stomach-down on the tables with towels covering them. A moment later, two masseuses enter the room and begin their deep tissue massages.
Berry: Ohhh… that feels heavenly…
Ashton: This is just what I needed…
An hour later, the massage ends. Berry and Ashton wrap towels around themselves and move to their next activity… a mud bath! They carefully step into the tub of clay, peat, and hot springs mineral water. An attendant applies the clay facial masks and cold compresses to each before giving them privacy.
Ashton: Ah… this is the life…
Berry: I could definitely get used to this.
The mud bath is followed by a hot springs shower and refreshing soak in a private jacuzzi. Berry and Ashton relax against the jets, feeling satisfied. An attendant offers them cucumber mint juleps.
Berry: Mmmm… this is the perfect ending to the most relaxing day… I can’t imagine it getting any better than this.
Ashton: You can’t?
Ashton leans in and gives Berry a gentle kiss. Berry responds immediately, pulling Ashton even close. Finally, they break apart.
Berry: I stand corrected… that was the perfect ending.
Rewards
Later that day, you, Ethan, and Addison meet up at the hotel pool.
Addison: Date three was awesome! We’re three-for-three.
Danny: We make a great matchmaking team, that’s for sure.
Ethan: We only have one date left… but we’ve saved the best for last. It’s a hot air balloon ride over the vineyards.
Danny: Sounds romantic…
Addison: Danny, you should totally take someone on this date!
Danny: Me?
Addison: Yeah! You haven’t been on any of the others… it’s the perfect opportunity! Or we can send two of our friends. Either way, this is going to be the best date ever.
Danny: Hmm… who should I send?
Part 5
Addison: Who should we send on this hot air balloon date?
That afternoon, Berry and Ashton meet in a meadow for the hot air balloon trip!
Ashton: This is so exciting!
Berry: I can’t wait to look at the vineyards from above!
As the propane burner in the balloon heats up, Ashton helps Berry into the basket while the pilot gets out to quickly grab something from his truck. The balloon starts to float as the air heats up.
Berry: Everything looks so small from up here, and we aren’t even in the air yet!
Ashton: I think we can see our hotel to the left!
Berry: Where?
Berry moves suddenly, accidentally hitting the tether!
Berry: Whoa!
No longer tied down, the balloon quickly rises high in the sky… without the pilot!
Ashton: What do we do? How do we fly this thing?!
The balloons veers through the air at a precarious angle…
Berry: Ahhhhhh!
Time - 8 hours
Berry and Ashton are high in the sky in a hot air balloon without a pilot!
Ashton: Quick! Open the parachute valve to lower us a little. We want to get under this turbulence!
Berry tugs on the rip line to open the parachute valve on the top of the balloon. The balloon drops a bit, finding calmer airspace. Finally, it stabilizes.
Berry: You saved us!
Ashton: It was nothing.
Berry: Don’t say that. You were really brace. How did you know what to do?
Ashton holds up a phone with a how-to-article open.
Ashton: I looked it up!
As the balloon floats over the valley, Berry hugs Ashton close. They quietly take in the view of the vineyards…
Ashton: It’s so romantic up here.
Berry: We’d better make sure to take panoramic shots for the client. This is definitely a scene that should make it into the movie!
Ashton: What if the movie couple were married in a hot air balloon at sunset? That would be awesome!
Berry and Ashton take turns snapping pictures of the scenery around them. Finally, Ashton starts to lower the ballon into a large, open field.
Ashton: We’re going down!
The basket plops onto the ground, with the bright balloon spread out behind.
Berry: We made it! Nice job, Ashton.
Ashton: Thanks. We still have to wait for the ground crew to catch up to us, but in the meantime…
Ashton holds up a blanket.
Ashton: Maybe we can watch the sunset together.
Ashton takes Berry’s hand, and the two of them find a spot nearby to lay out the blanket. They cuddle together as the sunlight fades on the horizon and the stars begin to twinkle.
Ashton: Sorry our hot air balloon ride didn’t go exactly as planned…
Berry snuggles even closer, wrapping an arm around Ashton’s waist.
Berry: This is perfect. Better, even.
Just then, a shooting star lights up the sky.
Ashton: Make a wish!
Berry: To many more dates like this one!
Ashton: And for this one to end with a kiss!
Berry: I thought that was a given at this point.
Ashton: I didn’t want to presume…
Berry leans over and kisses Ashton as the shooting star fades on the horizon.
Berry: You’re sweet. I’m glad I’m here with you.
Ashton: I wouldn’t want to be with anyone else.
Berry and Ashton share another lingering kiss…
Rewards

Addison: Let’s see… four successful dates out of four attempts!
Danny: I’d say that makes us the best matchmakers in all of Napa… maybe even all of California!

Danny: I wish our trip wasn’t over so soon…
As your trip in Napa comes to a close, you and your friends climb back aboard the party bus.
Danny: Thanks again for letting us tag along, Ethan. This was a great trip!
Ethan: Thank you for helping me out. There’s no way I could’ve made it to the thirty-plus locations Eliza wanted me to check out in just a few days.
Ethan takes out his phone and flips through all the pictures your friends have taken over the weekend.
Addison: Awww… everyone looks so cute! Look at all the couples we set up, Danny.
You glance at the pictures, then glance up at the back of the bus.
Danny: And it looks like one date wasn’t enough for most of them.
All around you, your couples sit together, holding hands and leaning into each other.
Addison: Don’t you just love love?
Rewards
Danny: So, do you think Eliza Rothchild will be satisfied, Ethan?
Ethan peruses the pictures one last time.
Ethan: I’m certain Eliza will be very pleased with these results. Everyone was quite thorough. Who knows? Maybe they’ll send us out to scout for their next film, too.
You look back at all your friends basking in new love.
Danny: I think it’s safe to say that if that happens, we’re all in!
Addison: Have you been to Napa? Get ready for a romantic weekend in wine country!

Ashton: Whoa!
After much coaxing, the chestnut mare slows down to a trot.
Berry: Ashton… you saved me!

Berry: I am, but… well, as exciting as that was, I think I’m ready to go back.
Ashton: Then let’s go.
Berry and Ashton walk the horses through the grape vines toward Chateau Beaulieu. When they arrive at the stables, they’re greeted by the vineyard sommelier, who offers them a free wine tasting.

Berry sniffs the wine, then takes a small sip from the glass.
Ashton: It says here that Chateau Beaulieu is best-known for their pinot noir.
Berry: I can see why. This is delicious! It has a nice cherry undertone… very sweet.
Ashton and Berry continue to try to various wines until the flight is gone. Afterwards, they walk around the vineyard hand-in-hand.

Ashton and Berry take turns offering each other bites of breakfast. Finally, they empty their plates and drain their cups.
Berry: That was so yummy! I’m stuffed!
Ashton: Sounds like it’s time for our spa day to begin!
Berry: What’s up first?
Ashton: Couple’s massage!
Time - 4 hours
Berry and Ashton enter the couple’s massage room, which is filled with candles and lavender incense. Soft instrumental music plays in the corner, and two massage tables are set up in the center of the room.
Berry: This is nice… I feel relaxed already, and the massage hasn’t even started yet!
Ashton: We’d better get settled in… no peeking! Well, maybe a little peeking.
The two of them lay stomach-down on the tables with towels covering them. A moment later, two masseuses enter the room and begin their deep tissue massages.
Berry: Ohhh… that feels heavenly…
Ashton: This is just what I needed…
An hour later, the massage ends. Berry and Ashton wrap towels around themselves and move to their next activity… a mud bath! They carefully step into the tub of clay, peat, and hot springs mineral water. An attendant applies the clay facial masks and cold compresses to each before giving them privacy.
Ashton: Ah… this is the life…
Berry: I could definitely get used to this.
The mud bath is followed by a hot springs shower and refreshing soak in a private jacuzzi. Berry and Ashton relax against the jets, feeling satisfied. An attendant offers them cucumber mint juleps.
Berry: Mmmm… this is the perfect ending to the most relaxing day… I can’t imagine it getting any better than this.
Ashton: You can’t?
Ashton leans in and gives Berry a gentle kiss. Berry responds immediately, pulling Ashton even close. Finally, they break apart.
Berry: I stand corrected… that was the perfect ending.

Later that day, you, Ethan, and Addison meet up at the hotel pool.
Addison: Date three was awesome! We’re three-for-three.
Danny: We make a great matchmaking team, that’s for sure.
Ethan: We only have one date left… but we’ve saved the best for last. It’s a hot air balloon ride over the vineyards.
Danny: Sounds romantic…
Addison: Danny, you should totally take someone on this date!
Danny: Me?
Addison: Yeah! You haven’t been on any of the others… it’s the perfect opportunity! Or we can send two of our friends. Either way, this is going to be the best date ever.
Danny: Hmm… who should I send?
Part 5
Addison: Who should we send on this hot air balloon date?
- Anyone (Berry)
- Anyone Besides Danny (Ashton)
That afternoon, Berry and Ashton meet in a meadow for the hot air balloon trip!
Ashton: This is so exciting!
Berry: I can’t wait to look at the vineyards from above!
As the propane burner in the balloon heats up, Ashton helps Berry into the basket while the pilot gets out to quickly grab something from his truck. The balloon starts to float as the air heats up.
Berry: Everything looks so small from up here, and we aren’t even in the air yet!
Ashton: I think we can see our hotel to the left!
Berry: Where?
Berry moves suddenly, accidentally hitting the tether!
Berry: Whoa!
No longer tied down, the balloon quickly rises high in the sky… without the pilot!
Ashton: What do we do? How do we fly this thing?!
The balloons veers through the air at a precarious angle…
Berry: Ahhhhhh!
Time - 8 hours
Berry and Ashton are high in the sky in a hot air balloon without a pilot!
Ashton: Quick! Open the parachute valve to lower us a little. We want to get under this turbulence!
Berry tugs on the rip line to open the parachute valve on the top of the balloon. The balloon drops a bit, finding calmer airspace. Finally, it stabilizes.
Berry: You saved us!
Ashton: It was nothing.
Berry: Don’t say that. You were really brace. How did you know what to do?
Ashton holds up a phone with a how-to-article open.
Ashton: I looked it up!
As the balloon floats over the valley, Berry hugs Ashton close. They quietly take in the view of the vineyards…
Ashton: It’s so romantic up here.
Berry: We’d better make sure to take panoramic shots for the client. This is definitely a scene that should make it into the movie!
Ashton: What if the movie couple were married in a hot air balloon at sunset? That would be awesome!
Berry and Ashton take turns snapping pictures of the scenery around them. Finally, Ashton starts to lower the ballon into a large, open field.
Ashton: We’re going down!
The basket plops onto the ground, with the bright balloon spread out behind.
Berry: We made it! Nice job, Ashton.
Ashton: Thanks. We still have to wait for the ground crew to catch up to us, but in the meantime…
Ashton holds up a blanket.
Ashton: Maybe we can watch the sunset together.
Ashton takes Berry’s hand, and the two of them find a spot nearby to lay out the blanket. They cuddle together as the sunlight fades on the horizon and the stars begin to twinkle.
Ashton: Sorry our hot air balloon ride didn’t go exactly as planned…
Berry snuggles even closer, wrapping an arm around Ashton’s waist.
Berry: This is perfect. Better, even.
Just then, a shooting star lights up the sky.
Ashton: Make a wish!
Berry: To many more dates like this one!
Ashton: And for this one to end with a kiss!
Berry: I thought that was a given at this point.
Ashton: I didn’t want to presume…
Berry leans over and kisses Ashton as the shooting star fades on the horizon.
Berry: You’re sweet. I’m glad I’m here with you.
Ashton: I wouldn’t want to be with anyone else.
Berry and Ashton share another lingering kiss…

Ethan: Thank you for helping me out. There’s no way I could’ve made it to the thirty-plus locations Eliza wanted me to check out in just a few days.
Ethan takes out his phone and flips through all the pictures your friends have taken over the weekend.

You glance at the pictures, then glance up at the back of the bus.

Danny: So, do you think Eliza Rothchild will be satisfied, Ethan?
Ethan peruses the pictures one last time.
Ethan: I’m certain Eliza will be very pleased with these results. Everyone was quite thorough. Who knows? Maybe they’ll send us out to scout for their next film, too.
You look back at all your friends basking in new love.
Danny: I think it’s safe to say that if that happens, we’re all in!
