There’s something magical about Christmas evenings, the glow of the tree, the clinking of glasses, the promise that this year’s toast will be one to remember.
But at Evergreen Lodge, not everything under the fairy lights is what it seems.

Welcome to The Case of the Christmas Gift, a printable wine tasting mystery game for adults who love a good story, elegant atmosphere, and a touch of festive intrigue.
No one gets killed. No one acts. But everyone has something to hide.

Christmas Wine Mystery Story – Secrets Beneath the Toast

It’s Christmas Eve at a snow-covered lodge in Aspen.
Charlotte Whitmore, the lodge’s owner, hosts a private wine tasting to unveil a rare bottle, the Noël Cuvée 1985, a vintage said to capture the spirit of the season itself.

The glasses are poured, the toasts are made… yet something feels off.
The bottle’s label doesn’t match the records. The color, the scent, it’s close, but not quite right.

As laughter turns to whispers, guests begin to wonder:
Was the bottle switched? And if so, by whom?
