My First Big Crush invites twelve strangers from all walks of life to make their wildest dream come true: to create and launch their wine label nationwide. Their journey begins during the height of the grape harvest, when wine making communities around the world kick off the wine production process. After surviving the demands of harvest, the contestants move into the winery, where they must prove their grit and savvy as "cellar rats" working in a bustling environment. Each episode presents challenges that test the contestants' skills and commitment to becoming a winemaker.
In the final round, the top four contestants develop their own wine brand and craft a strategy to succeed in an evolving market. In the end, only one will launch their own wine label nationwide.

The first season of My First Big Crush originally aired as "The Winemakers" on PBS.
