Events at Hummingbird Hills Winery

There’s almost always something on at Hummingbird Hills Winery in Fultonville — paint parties, cake decorating, murder mysteries, hands-on workshops, s’mores by the fire, and our biggest weekend of the year.

What’s on this month

October at the winery

A paint party, cake and trivia, a murder at Castle Drac, witch brooms, barn quilts, s’mores by the fire — and Trunk-or-Treat and the Haunted Lane on the 24th. Most of these fill up, so reserve early.

Monster Murder Mystery: Murder at Castle Drac

Saturday · 6:00–9:00PM · $40 per person

It’s 1867 and Count Dracula’s annual Monster Mash Bash is under way — until village medic Dr. Victor Frankenstein turns up floating in an icy tank beneath the castle. Now every guest is a suspect. Twelve brave souls can claim a character: Dracula, the Countess, Frankenstein’s Monster, the Bride, Mr. Hyde, the Wicked Witch, the Wolfman, the Mummy, the Skeleton, the Zombie, the Invisible Man or the Ghost. Costumes encouraged.

Rather watch? Come as a detective, pour a glass, hunt for clues and try to solve it before everyone else. Nobody has to perform Shakespeare. Your $40 covers the mystery and Halloween-themed snacks and is paid before the event; wine and a special Halloween cocktail are available to buy.

Only 12 character spots — first come, first served

The plan is to have it out at some events and the occasional Friday night. Nothing is set in stone just yet, so check the events above or follow along on Facebook to see when it’ll be open.

Any vehicle, any trunk

Cars, trucks, SUVs, Jeeps — go cute, spooky, funny or completely over the top. Load up on candy, decorate the back and help us make a day of it for the kids. There’s no charge to bring a trunk, and ten trophies go out at 3:30 — five for the best decorated Jeeps and five for everything else.

Please be fully set up by 11:30am — for everyone’s safety, vehicles can’t move once foot traffic starts. Let Kimm know you’re bringing a trunk.

Food, wine and treats

Cruet Wood Fired Pizza, Chris’s Concessions and the Hardscrabble Coffee Trailer are all joining us, with sweets from Sprinkles & Sparkles Bakery — the colossal chocolate chip cookies are worth the trip on their own.

Wine tastings, wine slushies, beer from Wayward Lane Brewing and non-alcoholic drinks for the kids. Costumes encouraged, for grown-ups too.

After dark · 7–9PM

The Haunted Lane

When the sun drops behind the vineyard, the Lane comes alive. Climb aboard an open trailer and ride straight into the dark woods — eerie lights, animatronics, and live actors lurking where you least expect them. For older kids, adults, thrill seekers, date night, and that one friend who swears nothing scares them.

Liquid Courage

Stop inside first for the official cocktail of the Haunted Lane — Hummingbird Hills Black Currant wine, vodka, blackberry, lime and a touch of fizz. You might need it.

Strong scare factor · not recommended for young children

Last ride into darkness at 9:00. A suggested $5 donation per person. Dress warm — it gets cold once the sun is down.

From past years

Trunk-or-Treat

Tailgates come open and the field turns into a candy trail — dinosaurs, witches, skeletons and the occasional alien who has travelled a very long way for a handful of sweets. Costumes strongly encouraged, for grown-ups too.
