Next Chapter Winery presents a Murder Mystery Dinner: Screams at the Circus!

🍷🎄 Step right up for a holiday night like no other at Next Chapter Winery’s Starlight Circus. The lights are dim, the wine is flowing, and the cheer feels just a little too forced. Shadows slip between the barrels, and carols echo strangely under the Big Top.

What begins as a festive toast quickly twists into something darker—where every pour could be your last, and every gift hides a secret.

This interactive dinner show will have you analyzing clues and digging into the details to find out whodunnit. Or you can simply watch the crime scene unfold as you sip a delicious beverage.
