Murder Mystery Dinner

Trade whispers with fellow suspects. Follow the clues through as the evening unravels. Unmask the culprit before they disappear into the night or into the cellar. Come dressed to impress. Evening wear, ball gowns, suits, tuxedos, and Venetian masks are encouraged but causal wear is welcomed as well. The estate will set the backdrop with ancient oaks draped in autumn shadow, award winning wines and a killer somewhere among you. Everyone is a suspect. No mask is quite what it seems. And the only thing more dangerous than the wine country elite… is one of them with a secret to keep.
