Join us at Black Iris Social Club for an unforgettable evening where exceptional cuisine, Virginia wine, historic spirits, fine art, premium cigars—and a little murder—come together for a truly immersive experience.

This intimate Chef’s Table experience features a family-style dinner prepared by Chef James Ball of Rappahannock Oyster Co., paired with Virginia wines presented by Stan Joynes of Valley Road Vineyards, cocktails from Sam Samuelson of Waterman’s Spirits, and a special Laird’s Apple Brandy tasting with Emily Laird.

Throughout the evening, guests will also experience the work of Richmond artist Vinnie Gonzalez and become part of an immersive murder mystery presented by The Cyber Space.
