Twenty guests of Inn Victoria in Chester, Vermont enjoyed a fabulous weekend Murder Mystery and Wine tasting combo! Each year at this time, Vermont’s Most Romantic B&B, Inn Victoria creates a murder mystery weekend. “We decided to engage other businesses in the village by hosting a scavenger hunt”; said Dan Cote, co-owner of Inn Victoria. “Each participant was given the new Chester Brochure / map, and asked to visit each business listed on the map to shop and obtain the shopkeeper’s initials on the map.” Amazingly, several guests came back with bags of stuff they had purchased & tails of their adventures at the restaurant or pub.
Later in the day, Shawn Cunningham, Certified Sommelier, presented an exceptional wine tasting over a two hour period.
“Wow, did we ever go through some wine!! Penny and I have enjoyed many a wine tasting around the world, but none compare to what Shawn can do! Shawn donated a wine tasting event through our annual Rotary Auction in Chester. He is so darn good at what he does, I couldn’t resist purchasing it again this year to host at our Murder Mystery weekend”. 
After a fabulous dinner, twenty people enjoyed a fantastic time solving the mystery, and of course, more wine!. “What a fun experience, I just can’t get over how we all got to connect with each other during this adventure…we’re now like family”; said so many of the guests!
Penny & Dan have hosted several Murder Mystery / wine tasting combo’s at Inn Victoria over the years. “Small, intimate events like this make great business leadership development activities for business groups or fun family and friend parties”; says Penny. “Dan specializes in hosting leadership development groups like this, customized to the business group needs.”
