PracTical Magic: A Witch’s Dinner
Fri, Oct 24 + Sat, Oct 25
ADventure Dinner Clubhouse, Colchester
We brought out our cauldrons and witches hats out to celebrate a nostalgic favorite—Practical Magic!
Once guests stepped inside The Clubhouse doors they were transported into a haunted mansion waiting. Hidden skulls and glowing orbs lurked in every corner. Our half-dead host lead guests to their table—each with different diabolical decor so delightful they could bring back your most undead boyfriend.
During Haunting Hour guests dove into their first course passed by our zombie culinary team, or slipped down to our Library’s Spooky Bar for potent potables like Midnight Margaritas, available for purchase.
After the siren song called us to our tables we dove into a multi-course feast bubbled and brewed to perfection. Each dish was inspired by the witchcraft of the Owens family and brought to life with the produce and protein power of Vermont farms and producers.
To close our a bewitching evening we made our way back into the Library for a delectable dessert and last pours as our final spell of the evening.
Guests came in their best costumes and our brand designer and friend Tara Lynn Clayton joined us to capture the evening from a guest’s perspective! iPhone pics below :-)
