Holiday Dinners will feature Julie’s signature cocktails, a special menu of our favorite dishes (along with suggested wine flights) and holiday desserts like Figgy Pudding and Chocolate Lava Cake. Live piano music is planned. If the Covid-19 conditions permit, we will feature a quartet of Rittenhouse Singers performing a “mini-Wassail” concert on the Rittenhouse Inn’s grand staircase during dinner.

We’re also planning a virtual Wassail Concert for sometime in December. This will be a live stream event full of our favorite Wassail songs performed by the Rittenhouse Singers.

Our restaurant will be open Friday through Sunday during the winter season. We welcome groups, bus tours, holiday parties etc. and will do our absolute best to serve you in a safe, festive environment.

We are sorry to postpone Wassail Dinner Concerts for another year, but we’re acting with an abundance of caution for all the people we care dearly about, and especially you.

Warmest regards,

The Phillips Family

Each mystery was written by Old Rittenhouse Inn staff who loosely based their stories on our historic properties, area events, and the residents who founded and lived in Bayfield. Mysteries are written for 8-14 characters, generally 7 ladies and 7 men.

“The Traveling Impresario”
This story is set at the Island View Hotel (aka Le Chateau Boutin) in 1890s Bayfield. The hotel’s new manager is throwing a grand re-opening party at which a traveling entertainer and her entourage are guests. The party includes a gathering of prominent citizens and local odd-balls. There’s a mystery to be solved when one of the cast suddenly goes missing.  NOTE: Returning mystery groups may want to play the sequel which takes place in 1910.

“A Rotten Bunch of Apples”
This exciting 1920’s era mystery is filled with gangsters, bootleggers, flappers, and assassins! Bayfield’s biggest gangster and his ex-wife are throwing a party to celebrate the anniversary of their divorce. One can only imagine the lies and deceit of such a gathering! Everyone is out for himself and a big pay-off. It’s difficult to determine who is friend and who is foe.

“The Great Sea Port Debate”
This story takes place in the late 1870s. President Rutherford B. Hayes has appointed a committee to investigate the viability of a sea port on Lake Superior. The committee has narrowed the best options to two: Duluth, MN and Bayfield, WI. Politicians and business people from both sides have gathered at a gala party in anticipation of the outcome. The final decision is about to be announced when the committee chairman goes missing!
