Toast to Italy
Hallmark Channel kicks off its 25th birthday celebration with Toast to Italy, premiering August 1 and pairing Hallmark favorite Will Kemp with Torrey DeVitto for a romance set among Italy’s vineyards. When Jenny travels overseas in search of a legendary bottle of “Love Wine” for her sister’s wedding, she crosses paths with Arrigo, who’s on the very same mission. Naturally, the search for one famous bottle turns into a journey of self-discovery, breathtaking scenery, and maybe even a little romance of their own. Join us as we uncork Hallmark’s latest European adventure to see whether this vintage is worth savoring – or if it should have stayed in the cellar.
Toast to Italy will premiere on Saturday, August 1, 2026 as part of Hallmark’s 25th Birthday Celebration line up. You can stream it on Hallmark+ the day after it premieres. Learn more about how to get Hallmark+ for free with a library card.
