Silent Night, Deadly Night
Silent Night, Deadly Night
The carols are sweet. The secrets are not.
It’s Christmas Eve at Walker Homestead. Snow blankets the vineyard, wassail warms the kitchen, and a small circle of family, friends, and curious newcomers gathers for a festive farm dinner. But when the farm’s beloved founder is discovered beneath the mistletoe—clutching a torn page from a holiday hymn—the celebration turns chilling. With a storm trapping everyone at the farm, guests soon realize they are snowed in with a killer. Secrets from Christmas past begin to surface, and not everyone is who they claim to be. Can the mystery be solved before the eggnog runs dry?

Secrets Beneath the Streets
Secrets Beneath the Streets
Murder at the Speakeasy, Iowa City, 1927
Beneath Iowa City’s quiet streets lies a hidden network of beer tunnels—built by brewers, expanded in secret, and now used to move far more than barrels.
Two factions control what flows below.
To the north, the Goosetown Syndicate—gritty, loyal, and rooted in the city’s working-class past.
To the south, the Riverfront Collective—polished, strategic, and quietly in control of what enters and leaves the city.
For years, their conflict has turned shipments into battlegrounds and alliances into liabilities.
But tonight… a truce.
Both sides have agreed to meet deep within the tunnels at a hidden speakeasy—an invitation-only gathering meant to settle control of the river routes once and for all.
The wine will pour.
The deals will be made.
And every move will be watched.
Because beneath the surface, power doesn’t shift by accident.
Before the night is over…
someone will ensure it never does..

Shamrocks & Shenanigans: A Murder Mystery Dinner
Shamrocks & Shenanigans: A Murder Mystery Dinner
Walker Homestead is hosting its annual Feast of the Green, a lively spring dinner rooted in Irish celebration, Celtic cuisine, and plenty of wine. Guests gather to enjoy bangers and mash, hearty Irish stew, and maybe a bit of mischief. But during the evening’s ceremonial Blessing of the Barrel, a body is discovered in the vineyard—draped in a green cloak and clutching a broken piece of an ancient Celtic medallion. What begins as a joyful gathering quickly becomes a tangled mystery filled with folklore, family secrets, and long-buried rivalries. Was it an ancient curse? A feud gone too far? Or simply good old-fashioned Irish revenge?

Deadly Vintage Murder Mystery Dinner
Deadly Vintage Murder Mystery Dinner
Walker Homestead invites you to an exclusive evening of intrigue, indulgence, and deception. A select circle of patrons, wine professionals, and media have gathered for the unveiling of The Lost Vintage—a 20-year-old barrel, hidden for decades behind a false wall in the cellar.
The celebration begins with sparkling toasts and artful bites. But as the first taste is poured, the winemaker collapses—poisoned. Suddenly, the night turns deadly.
Every guest has a secret, every toast hides a motive, and every sip brings you closer to the truth. Was it revenge for betrayal? A crime of passion? Or a calculated move to seize the Homestead’s growing wine empire?
Step into character, savor a candlelit farm-to-table feast, and work together to uncover the murderer before the killer strikes again.

Deadly Vintage Murder Mystery Dinner
Deadly Vintage Murder Mystery Dinner
Walker Homestead invites you to an exclusive evening of intrigue, indulgence, and deception. A select circle of patrons, wine professionals, and media have gathered for the unveiling of The Lost Vintage—a 20-year-old barrel, hidden for decades behind a false wall in the cellar.
The celebration begins with sparkling toasts and artful bites. But as the first taste is poured, the winemaker collapses—poisoned. Suddenly, the night turns deadly.
Every guest has a secret, every toast hides a motive, and every sip brings you closer to the truth. Was it revenge for betrayal? A crime of passion? Or a calculated move to seize the Homestead’s growing wine empire?
Step into character, savor a candlelit farm-to-table feast, and work together to uncover the murderer before the killer strikes again.

Frostbitten Farm Heist: A 1927 Murder Mystery Dinner
Winter, 1927. Walker Homestead has become the secret hideout for a bootlegging ring moving moonshine across state lines. On this icy night, the gang gathers to plan their biggest—and final—winter shipment.
But when a key member is found dead in the barn’s icehouse, trust shatters. Someone has betrayed the operation. Someone knows too much. And someone isn’t who they claim to be.
Guests become part of the story, stepping into character roles revealed one week prior—complete with a seasonal farm-to-table menu.
