Shadows and Spirits: A Hex and Harvest Supper Club

A Signature CIA Dining Event

Saturday, October 31, 2026 | 6:30 p.m.

For as long as the Hudson River has flowed, shadows and spirits have haunted its shores. This Halloween, we’re welcoming in the dark—and those who dare to greet it—with a dinner party, of course!

Enjoy the spoils of the Hudson Valley’s harvest paired with spirits, both in your glass and perhaps in the ether, for Shadows and Spirits: A Hex and Harvest Supper Club. The evening will be hosted by the club’s own Mrs. Lenora Van Alstyne and her cousin Mr. Percival Finch, whose fascination with the region’s folklore, tends to test her patience.

General Admission Tickets Include:
  • A four-course dinner drawn from the Hudson Valley’s harvest
  • Wine and spirits pairing throughout the evening
  • A “Hex on the Rocks” cocktail hour
Special VIP Tickets Include

(When reserving be sure to select VIP upgrades for the total number of guests)

  • Premium seating in Farquharson Hall with Phantom Service
  • Tableside immersion featuring bespoke storytelling and folklore narration
  • Exclusive wine and spirits pairings throughout the evening
  • Exclusive access and early arrival to the “Hex on the Rocks” cocktail hour
  • Tangible keepsakes that will serve as a reminder of the Gilded Age immersion

Between courses, expect close up conjurers, cartomancers, and a few secrets the room will need to piece together before dessert can be served. What exactly is hiding in Farquharson Hall this Halloween? We’ll leave that for you to discover. Don’t be haunted by missing out, some evenings don’t come back around…

$285 prepaid, all-inclusive of food, drink, tax, and Student Support Service Charge
