Murder...at the Winery!

Fine wine, good food, exquisite company...what could go wrong?

About the experience

An eccentric winery owner has cordially invited all of his dearest friends to Hammerling Wines for a tasting party that is sure to change the future of the wine industry.

You’re there at the unveiling of winemaker Felix Nachgeschmack’s brand-new label. But when Felix is murdered halfway through the evening, everyone’s a suspect—including you! (Don’t worry, you’re probably innocent.)

Will Detective Gordon Blunt discover who did it? Find out.

Join us on Saturday, August 24, and raise a glass to laughter, camaraderie, and mystery.

Murder at the Winery: Improvised. Immersive. Deadly funny.

About the Experience

This one-of-a-kind, full-length interactive play combines immersive theater and improv comedy with the classic murder mystery format to produce a unique experience designed to enchant, surprise, and delight. Bringing theater into a fresh, new landscape, this story’s set isn’t a stage, but rather a local winery, where the flavors and textures of wine and food pairings complete the sensory adventure.

Plan to arrive at the venue at 6:45 pm PST to enjoy live music, visit our Jamaican-and-Spanish-inspired pop-up chef and desserts from an independent cookie baker. Here, you’ll explore the scene of the crime and meet intriguing characters.

Share an unforgettable night with loved ones and meet new friends in this welcoming, creative environment.
