Wine, Dine & Crime Dinner

A historic dinner experience at Ripples Chowder Bay

Join historian Max Burns-McRuvie from Journey Walks for a special evening of tastes and tales as we explore the forgotten history of Chowder Bay and Clifton Gardens over a three course dinner with matched wines.

Revealing infamous stories and rare imagery from Chowder Bay’s 19th century 'Pleasure Grounds' and exploring the secret military operations once active inside our dining space, this unique experience will shine a different light on the quiet harbour cove we know today. Over a delicious dinner, guests can expect to rediscover spectacular structures, pandemonious picnics, horrifying explosions, unsolved mysteries and colourful characters that have left their mark on this historic location over the last two centuries.
