Three and a half stars.
After her breakup with Giles, heartbroken Rose Bennett leaves London for Australia. Her brother Henry wants her to spy out the winery in the Shingle Valley known as Kalkari Wines. Rose is not thrilled with the prospect but she needs to get away. So she agrees and ends up as an au pair to Mark Cameron and his two young children, Leo and Luisa. As well there is the children’s nanny Astrid from Germany. The two young women end up becoming friends. Rose learns a bit about the problems of vineyards and the process of winemaking. She finds herself falling in love with the valley and its people. Violet and Vera, two elderly residents, were a delight. Luisa and Leo are sweeties and then there is the enigmatic Mark. But it is Isabella, Marks’ estranged wife who returns at one point that Rose finds hardest to deal with. Readers will no doubt dislike her as she has the capacity to destroy all Rose’s dreams.
This was just the sort of light, fun read I needed after my previous book. I liked Rose and many of the other characters. The story flows easily, and the reader gets a good sense of the setting and the community. As well as The Shingle Valley, the book contains some glimpses of Bondi. Maybe this story is not one that provokes deep thought, but it is enjoyable to read. And if it’s a little too sweet in some ways, what is wrong with that anyway? A great fun read and I will be interested to read more by this author.

Just the sort of read I needed tonight! One to make me smile.
My View:
This is the prefect pick me up read when you have had a hard day, a hard week or just finished a few emotionally draining works of crime fiction. For me a conspiracy of all the above elements meant I really needed a read that would energise not drain my emotions and make me smile. This fir the bill perfectly.
I love the settings – Australian wineries and small country towns juxtaposed against fast paced city living. I had visions of the Coonawarra, McLaren Vale, Barossa districts or even the Margret River wine region where I live (maybe because they are all wine regions I have visited/know). The settings speak of family owned primary producers/communities almost anywhere in the world– the hard work, the long hours, the camaraderie with others producers in your regions, the local gossip, secrets and how a community comes together to celebrate when success is achieved or to help when the call out is made.
The characters are interesting and written with depth and I especially liked how the writer sprinkles the pages with Rose’s honest thoughts as she try to make sense of the new situations she finds herself in (and the new country) and the people she meets. The vineyard and its changing seasons; pruning, budburst, flower, vintage, provides the overarching narrative and back drop to the action in the books, almost a character is its own right.
Another great debut!
Read and enjoy, relax and smile!

I really enjoyed reading this book. Rose is leaving behind a broken romance in the UK and heads for Australia for a working holiday. She starts a job as a housekeeper in the wine area of NSW for Mark and his two children, as her brother sends her there to get information on the winery as he wants to take it over. Little did she expect to fall in love with the children and their dad and the winery. One obstacle is their estranged mother who decides to return.
I liked learning about the making of wine and the challenges that small wineries have. The characters were believable and the story moved at a good pace that kept me entertained until the end. This is the second book I've read by Kayte Nunn and really enjoy her writing style.

Довольно неплохая, уютная «винная» история. Самое то, чтобы немного расслабиться и отдохнуть душой.

Recently, a fantastic sub genre within the field of contemporary Australian rural fiction books, with winemaking as the appealing backdrop, have begun to crop up on bookshelves. I have had the pleasure of reading two such books that fall into this genre, Between the Vines by Tricia Stringer and The Grass is Greener by Loretta Hill. I can now add Rose’s Vintage, by Kayte Nunn to this fabulous collection of books.
Rose’s Vintage introduces us to a young British woman, Rose Bennett, who leaves her behind a broken relationship and a shattered personal life in the UK, to start afresh in a new country, Australia. Rose finds herself in the Shingle Valley, a fictional small town north of Sydney, which is famous for its vineyards. Rose answers the call to work as an au pair for a family who own Kalkari Wines Estate. As the founder and proprietor of Kalkari, Mark Cameron is struggling to balance work and care of family since his wife left him. It takes time, but Rose soon feels like she has made the Shingle Valley her new home, balancing her care for the two children Leo and Luisa, with her own personal healing. While working at Kalkari, Rose also welcomes the opportunity to dabble in cooking and even entertains the opportunity to engage in a spot of romance. However, when Mark’s ex wife and mother to their children returns, everything is turned on its head. Rose is torn between escaping to the city to start again or stay at the place she has made home. Then there is the added complication of Rose’s true intentions of coming to the winery, which were less about being an au pair but spying for her brother, who is interested in the very business she has been working for.
What a wonderful debut novel Rose’s Vintage is, I really enjoyed being swept away by this contemporary Australian romance that fuses food, wine and romance. Rose’s Vintage is also about the very personal journey and growth the character of Rose makes, by making the bold move from her home in the UK to small town Australia. Rose is a character I admired and dearly liked. I thoroughly enjoyed her character growth from the young woman who left a life that was in tatters, to her transformation into a strong independent woman, chasing her dreams and desires. Supporting the main heroine Rose, is Mark, Rose’s boss, and a great array of well drawn and endearing characters who inhabit the small town where the book is set. This provides Nunn with the opportunity to convey a true sense of small town community and she is able to express how this feels to her readers successfully. The stories of Astrid, who also works for Mark and locals Violet and Vera were also a joy to read. The spying aspects of the novel, plus Mark’s estranged wife, adds further tension and complication to the story, which keeps the reader engaged. Rounding off this solid debut novel, is a truly enviable setting. Nunn’s descriptions of the Shingle Valley were superbly scenic and completely escapist at the same time.
Rose’s Vintage is a charming novel that I believe readers will find hard pressed to resist. It offers a fine contemporary romance, a compelling tale of personal healing and a realistic exploration of character relationships. Rose’s Vintage is a book that beckoned me to delve into its world of fine wine and food, set against a picturesque rural setting. I am highly anticipating my next read by Kayte Nunn, due to be released in 2017.

Rose’s Vintage reminded me of a light, crisp wine. It’s not as complex as some, but a pleasant drop nonetheless. I’m a fan of food fiction, so the blurb was enough to get me in, although comparing it to Joanne Harris’s Chocolat was a stretch.
While I was drawn to the setting and enjoyed the interactions between Rose, Astrid and the children, I didn’t feel the chemistry between Mark and Rose. I also found myself questioning why Rose would keep giving Mark chances – his reasoning just didn’t win me over. The whole “spy” scenario didn’t work for me either. It seemed like an afterthought and it lacked the tension to make it believable.
A light, sweet romance, Rose’s Vintage is more ‘drink now’, more ‘classic white’ than aged in oak, but sometimes that’s all you want when you curl up with a book.

This is the latest in the string of lighthearted Aussie vineyard romances that I've read. I love them and keep coming back for more. I thought I had this one all figured out, but Kayte threw a few twists at me to keep me on my toes.
I loved Rose, although I wanted to talk some sense into her at times. If she wants some warm Aussie weather, she can come visit me in Darwin! The kids were adorable and the ex-wife a manipulative psycho, the perfect mix to keep things entertaining.
I received this book free in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this novel - it was a light, breezy read.
I felt like the hero & heroine were more friends than lovers - which is fine and normal, but in a novel I'm not sure it works.
I thought the 'spy' sub plot was awkward, and not utilised effectively - and in the end, it made no difference to anyone, so why have it in the first place.
For a first novel, this was a nice read, the wine making references were well researched and the feel of the community was nicely drawn.
It was certainly not a multi-textured deep and aged red.... probably more of a chilled sweet young white.

Once started I was hooked. Loved the characters and the vineyard setting of the story. Rosie such an engaging character that you felt her every emotion. The varied and interesting characters in the town and the dynamics of the relationships kept me interested. Just wanted it to continue to discover how the town, the vineyards and the people progressed Loved it and the touch of romance helped. Very easy to read and great writing style.

I absolutely devoured this book! Having spent time in and around Australian wine country, I found myself lured in by Kayte's spot-on portrayal of the scenery, food and people. A delightful romance that leaves you wanting for more! Can't wait for the second instalment...

What a fabulous first book from Kayte Nunn, I loved everything about this book - from the warmth of the characters to the sublime Shingle Valley setting to the captivating storyline. This book had me at 'hello'. I can't wait for the next!
April 26, 2016
I loved it.....I cannot wait to meet up with Rose again soon. Loved the country side, food, wine and of course the romance. Very hard to put down.
May 3, 2016
Very enjoyable read with a great sense of place (and sense of wine). I had to look up a lot of the Australian slang, but that's most of the fun right?

It’s a long time since I’ve read a romance novel and this book came at a good time for me. Easy to read and as per romance novels pretty predictable. Nevertheless two of my favourite things food and wine feature in this book. What’s not to like about a good romance every now and then 😀

Delightful first novel by Kayte Nunn.

Having not read a romance book in such a long time, Rose's Vintage was the ideal choice. The characters were all awesome and of course, the love that developed between Rose and her boss, Mark was just the icing on the cake. I loved this book and only hope the author has more books written in the same genre!
January 2, 2018
I really enjoyed this book. The setting and characters were all well developed and engaging. I would say the story was more about Rose's personal growth than a romance - and I was definitely ok with that.

Firstly I would like to thank the publisher for a copy of this book.
What a wonderful debut novel. It was a treat of a story. I devoured this book. A well constructed story will full bodied characters and just enough intrigue to keep the reader interested. Isabella was a thoroughly contemptible character – I so wanted to see her get slapped down off her pedestal. I must admit that even though I liked Mark and felt bad for the situation he found himself in with her, I really was disappointed that he didn’t have more of a backbone. Why do the men always have to be so weak willed when it comes to a beautiful face… even if she is a total harpy? The fact he seemed to be so into Rose and then Isabella turns up and Rose gets iced out immediately was low. I get that the situation with Isabella was complicated but he really should have stood up for Rose instead of letting the horrible woman be so nasty to her. He should have defended her so that she didn’t have to deal with all that unpleasantness.
The side characters are interesting but not enough that they draw your attention away from the main leads in the story.
I like the ending and the deal with Henry – sneaky brother. I kept waiting for that spy secret to come out – it was like a sword hanging over their heads – but I am glad that it didn’t drop on them. It ended in a way that felt real and touching without being overly saccharine.
A completely lovely and light-hearted debut from Ms Nunn. I look forward to reading more from her in the future.

Rose's Vintage was an excellent read! I could not put this book down from start to finish as I was addicted to Shingle Valley and I had to find out exactly what happened to Rose! I really connected with her character having arrived in Australia from Canada in the month of September expecting the weather to be hot!...also falling in love with an unhappily married man with children. Love makes us give people chances.
I particularly love Kayte's description of the vineyards, weather, food and wine! It inspired me to get cooking (delicious things) and try some new wine!
There is such a nice small community/neighbourly feeling between the characters in the book which reminded me how good that feels when you find it.
A must read for anyone who wants an escape to a delicious love story, with some laughs along the way. Easy on the eyes (and heart) each page turn.
I'm looking forward to book 2!

I couldn't put this book down - wanting to always read the next chapter to find it what happened next! The roller coaster ride of life that Rose was on was a familiar story to many of us so you could totally relate to it as if you were listening to the story of a friend. Looking forward to the next book from this new author.

I received this book from a good reads giveaway, and though this is definitely not the kind of book I would usually read, I did enjoy it. It was a nice break from some of the heavier books I've read lately, it was a nice read. I found that it drew the reader in and did make me want to keep reading.
Overall, a good, sweet story with realistic characters.

Lightweight holiday read. Some interesting insights into the wine industry, authentic descriptions of place, but I found the characters to be stereotyped and plot predictable. The “hero” was constantly being described as smelling spicey! This became repetitive and annoying. A book to read on the beach or in front of a fire if you want some mindless escapism.
March 11, 2016
Consumed this book in a couple of sittings. Loved the characters and the scenery and once I started I didn't want to stop. A fab read for fans of great writing. Entertaining, captivating, well written and romantic. Excellent first novel - can't wait for the next one.
March 29, 2016
I won this on Goodreads competition page. I absolutely loved it. Funny and logical, the food sounded so good, I would happily dive into the book for food and wine. Cannot wait for the sequel if there is one.
May 1, 2016
I loved this book! Really easy to read and a thoroughly enjoyable page turner. Looking forward to the next novel by Kayte

I listened to an audiobook version of this. Definitely an ‘easy read/easy listen’.
The romance felt quite cheesy in parts, the character of Mark wasn’t very well developed. My pet peeve was also the amount of times she stood in front of a mirror and went ‘wow I’m thin’ in different chapters…like, we get it! You’re a gorgeous main character!
Other than those parts that grated, I enjoyed the story and it’s setting.
