This Halloween, Estancia La Jolla Hotel and Spa is hosting a Bridgerton Masquerade soirée, accompanied by a Bridgerton-inspired Boozy Tea Times. Bridgerton, of course, is Shonda Rhimes’ first scripted Netflix series, as created by Chris Van Dusen. It is based on Julia Quinn’s novels set in the competitive world of Regency era London’s ton during the season, when debutantes are presented at court.

Upon entering Estancia La Jolla’s Secret Garden (promptly at five o’clock), mask in hand and dressed in a fantastic Regency-era costume, you’ll be transported to a whimsical world where the gin and bubbles flow, unlimited bites abound, and live entertainment delights. Escape for the evening or indulge in a weekend in the world of whimsy, mystery, romance, and plenty of scandal by booking an overnight stay. The Bridgerton Halloween Package includes two tickets to the Masquerade, Bridgerton-themed sweet treats in-room, Regency-era fans to add to your costume, free parking for your royal chariot, and a waived resort fee for those guests who would risk showing their face the next day.

To accompany the masquerade, the property has opened its lush gardens to host Bridgerton-inspired Boozy Garden Tea Times. Guests can indulge in gourmet Smith tea selections, You & Yours gin & tonic, Aviation, French 75, and Etoile, plus savory bites and sweet treats while enjoying a live violinist playing today’s hits, similar to Bridgerton’s own soundtrack of modern songs played by a string quartet. This may not be cause to pull out your favorite ballgown, but come dressed to impress because Lady Whistledown is always watching.
