For those with a penchant for intrigue, a murder mystery weekend is an absolute must-try. Innkeepers transform their properties into crime scenes, complete with mysterious characters, clues, and, of course, a murder to solve. Guests become amateur detectives, working together to crack the case while enjoying a thrilling and immersive experience.

3. Wine and Dine Delights

Many New England inns offer wine and dining promotions, partnering with local wineries or utilizing the skills of their in-house Chefs and Somaliers to provide guests with tastings and wine-paired dinners. It’s an excellent opportunity to savor local flavors and explore the region’s wine culture. Farm-to-table New England restaurants like Michael’s On The Hill in Vermont also offer a superb selection of fine wines.
