What are three great ways for groups to get in touch with Hershey’s chocolate heritage?
-
Wine/Beer/Rum & Chocolate Pairing, or Chocolate Mixology Class: Unwind on a Friday afternoon and treat your group to a special pairing class or learn how to make a chocolate martini. In the pairing class, learn how the flavor of Hershey’s chocolate interacts with your favorite adult beverage. Our expert will guide you through this chocolate experience and recommend different pairing combinations to fit a variety of palates and preferences. In the mixology class, our beverage manager will instruct each guest on how to make five unique Hershey’s chocolate martinis at their own station, complete with glasses, bar tools and ingredients. The class is completely interactive for your guests and works as a great team-building event. Each participant receives a recipe booklet, certificate of completion and a special gift.
-
Chocolate Lab at The Hershey Story, The Museum on Chocolate Avenue: Inspired by Milton S. Hershey’s own candy-making apprenticeship and his flair for experimentation, the Chocolate Lab explores the unique qualities of chocolate through playful, hands-on experiences and interactive demonstrations, such as "The Art of Truffles Class" and "The Cupcake Class." Guaranteed to bring out the kid in you, the Chocolate Lab offers participatory classes including tempering, molding, dipping and even making chocolate from scratch.

Hershey’s Chocolate Tasting Adventure at Hershey’s Chocolate World: Discover the many flavors of Hershey’s chocolate in this special tasting adventure. Our resident chocolate expert will guide your group through the ingredients used to achieve different flavors and textures.
