As a part of the Cincinnati area for close to 40 years, it brings us great joy to host the final two shows in our 2025 Mystery
Dinner Theater Series, featuring the exceptional talents of Murder & Merriment, one of the country’s largest mystery theater troupes.

Join Us for an Evening to Remember
As a family-owned winery that’s been part of the community for decades, we take pride in offering events that bring people together. Our mystery dinners often sell out, and we encourage you to pick up tickets early to guarantee your seats.

We look forward to welcoming you to Vinoklet Winery for one (or both!) of these special performances with Murder & Merriment!
