Plonk

Tasked with including some local female winemakers as part of their brief, the Plonk crew kick off their NSW wine adventure just outside Canberra in the beautiful wine region of Murrumbateman.

Hoping it will bring the show some much needed credibility, the Plonk team head north to the Hunter Valley where they have secured an exclusive interview with wine legend Bruce Tyrrell.

After an aborted interview with Semillon guru Andrew Thomas the Plonk team drive to Mudgee, where Chris' disillusionment with TV results in a dramatic 'tree change'.

We begin high in the air above Mudgee with Chris taking in the scenery aboard a Balloon Aloft hot air balloon. The Lowe Wines cellar door is then the setting for a dinner that immerses the PLONK crew in the local Mudgee wine scene with David Lowe leading a wine options game. Johnny Furlong from Two Furlongs Wines makes an appearance and offers to train Chris's palate.

With filming completed, the Plonk crew host a party to celebrate the series' first screening.

It's been a year since Plonk's dismal series was cancelled and the crew have gone their separate ways. With a second series miraculously commissioned and Chris reluctantly back on board, the team head to South Australia hoping things will run slightly smother than last year.

Plonk's plan for promoting the Clare Valley as a 'place of romance' takes a turn for the worst when Chris dramatically breaks out in hives. With the show's host out of action the guys are intent on making the most of their day. Returning to his hometown of The Barossa, Josh insists that the crew stay at his family's country home, while Chris decides that Segways are the future of lifestyle programming.

It's all about the 'old vines' for team Plonk as their Barossa adventure continues and nothing says tradition quite like the Barons of the Barossa. Josh, who is desperate to be a part of the old guard, is tipped off by a Baron on how to join. Plonk's Barossa luck finally changes when they land an exclusive interview with Yalumba icon Robert Hill Smith.

While filming in the coastal wine region of McLaren Vale team PLONK are joined on set by an unexpected visitor, the Brand Manager for Lexus. Contractually obliged to feature Chris and the sponsor car, Nathan has just one problem...Chris can't drive.

The unexpected death of Herb, Plonk's camera operator, throws the final days of shooting into turmoil. Not wanting to let a day off go to waste, Chris looks to familiarize himself with the famous Cabernet Sauvignons of the Coonawarra. Josh reacts to Herbs passing in a more spiritual way, turning to local saint Mary MacKillop for guidance.

With the filming for PLONK officially wrapped up, the team needs to get out there and promote the show. Nathan secures a stall at the Adelaide Cellar Door Wine Festival and is counting on his crewmates to spread the word. Chris' plans for some quality PR are thrown into disarray when fellow Chaser, turned wine ambassador, Andrew Hansen arrives on the scene.
