A Bad Vintage, our Wine Themed Murder Mystery Dinner Party Game Kit for 6 to 20 Players, is available as a downloadable print-at-home kit, and has been carefully crafted to involve both yourself as host and all of your guests.

A Bad Vintage Storyline:

The Grand Cru estate, situated on the fertile slopes of the Loire Valley in France, is a small family run vineyard with considerable rustic charm and appeal.

The owners of the estate, Max and Demi Liter, regularly host wine tasting evenings which allow their guests to sample the latest bottlings and place orders ahead of the big conglomerates.

Unfortunately for the guests this evening, the vintage had more body than they were expecting. Max Liter has been discovered dead in a vat of wine.

Only you can solve our wine themed murder mystery A Bad Vintage!

    I host a Murder Mystery Dinner annually for my sorority alumnae group, and have used the Red Herring Games each year for many years. Red Herring is always my preference when choosing a game and I like the scripted format for our group because the interrogations and dialog run smoothy with our ad-libbing, fake accents, and much laughter. We had such fun with A Bad Vintage because the character names, personalities, secrets and agendas were very cleverly written, and the lavishly costumed ladies in my group really got into their characters, as always. We have prizes for best actor and best costume, and I even rented an authenic wine barrel as one of the props. I highly recommend Red Herring Murder Mystery Games, and each and every game that we have played so far has been a hugh hit.

    We had a great evening. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the plot and characters. Well devised and very clear with all the directions. Fantastic customer support as well, covid chopped and changed the no. of players we had avaliable and Jo sent us various options to increase the numbers so easily. Well done Jo and the team, we look froward to our next mystery!

    Did this for a Halloween party this year (2021) was planned for last year but had to cancel because of THE C problem. So planned this year absolutely brilliant even though 2 guests dropped out almost last minute, so I had to play 3 characters sometimes 4 as my husband is dyslexic and struggled a bit. It was really good and everyone really got into character, the dvd inspector really helped too. I will definitely do another but maybe not turn it into a Halloween party as too much planning ( nearly 3 years). Brilliant, can definitely recommend this company.

    We played the game with 11 people for a team event. It was a lot of fun and the characters are well designed. Everyone has a motive and it was not easy, figuring out who the murderer was. But in the end, the murderer was caught. It took us about two hours.

    Everyone had a fantastic time with a Bad Vintage. Classic murder mystery, good characters, engaging story. It was smooth, self explanatory and had a solid understandably mystery thread running through. Main thing is everyone just needs to jump in and play. The more you put in the more you get out. We set out for a 12, then changed to 14, then 16 participants. On the day people called in sick, but it still worked and we're getting another Red Herring soon. In our case no one guessed the murderer, could have been the wine tasting going on, or the al a carte dinner or possibly the outrageous accents and play acting. It was solvable. Having someone playing the detective helped, it would have helped more if he'd reminded people to check they had asked all their questions and given their clues. I'm still getting emails 4 days later. Fun!

    We had a great time with A Bad Vintage during a family holiday to celebrate my parents' 60th wedding anniversary. I played the police inspector with a terrible French accent (and we happened to be staying near Bergerac) and we had 14 other participants, including my parents playing Demi Liter and Byron Case. The character booklets were great and the format worked very well, once we got the hand of the Q&A sessions. The dialogue was very funny and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their evening. The only slight problem was that the extra characters, particularly Ivor Sixpack & Daisy Chain were pretty obviously not the murderers and the pathology report was a bit weak, but I don't think this seriously detracted from the whole event.

    We held this party in the garden a perfect setting for the vineyard , as there was 14 people to organise, the tables took a bit of arranging but that was the only problem we encountered.the plot was good. the jokes and puns entertaining and the ad-libbing was hilarious. . a very good party with lots of funny accents and easy costumes to suit everyone, no one guessed the murderer, maybe a little too much of the wine tasting!

    Full marks to Red Herring. The game itself was a lot of fun, and the personal attention that the company gave me to help resolve difficulties I had in organising my party was exemplary. This ensured that my evening was a big success. Good to find a British company that understands the value of customer service. Would highly recommend.

Customise this game

This game can be customised to fit your event for an additional fee.

It’s hard to give “ball park” figures for what different customisations would cost however we’ve attempted to HERE.

Please do contact us for a free quote if you would like any customisations on your game before purchase.

Remember… if you just need 1 extra person, or 1 less person, why not have someone play the inspector role?

The inspector can usually be male or female as the “for real” inspector can simply invent a new name for themselves.

Some hosts prefer to play the inspector role as it means they can work on the catering while the round plays out amongst their guests.
