About the Event
Step into the golden glow of the Tuscan countryside for Secrets of the Cellar, a murder mystery dinner set at the renowned Villa di Luca during its annual harvest celebration. As laughter fills the vineyard and the scent of fresh herbs and ripe fruit lingers in the air, guests prepare for an evening of rustic elegance—until the vineyard’s matriarch, Vittoria Luca, is found dead in the cellar. With the clink of wine glasses now replaced by whispers and suspicion, dinner continues as the mystery unfolds.
Guests will enjoy a four-course Italian-inspired meal, beginning with a sweet and savory strawberry bruschetta, followed by a fresh and flavorful Tuscany salad with balsamic vinaigrette. The main course features a rich, creamy chicken caprese risotto, slow-cooked to perfection, and the evening ends with a decadent limoncello trifle, light and citrusy with a hint of intrigue. As clues emerge between courses, you’ll work with your table…
