Culinary Retreat: Midnight Manor, an Elegant Halloween
The Inn on Church RoadHershey, PA
A grown-up take on the season, with delicious ingredients and a few little tricks and treats to enjoy.
Friday evening, you will mix poison blackberry martinis and bloody margaritas, with mocktail versions for anyone who prefers them, then build a Halloween charcuterie board with Hannah walking through the layout and pairings.
Saturday afternoon moves to small bites. Black deviled eggs, with the whites tinted naturally using squid ink and filled with a creamy Dijon yolk mixture, finished with chives. Beet and goat cheese crostini on toasted baguette, with whipped goat cheese, roasted beets, chopped pistachios, microgreens, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Seared hanger steak with black garlic aioli. Coffee chocolate mousse to close.
These are the cookies you save a picture of and never quite manage to make yourself. This weekend fixes that. You will have the best-looking cookies on your Instagram after this class!
Friday night is dough making, with a holiday charcuterie spread and a cocktail or mocktail while you work.
Saturday you will roll and bake with our 10-inch specialty holiday cookie cutters, then move on to royal icing. Hannah covers consistency, piping, flooding, and the small tricks that separate a good cookie from the ones you might see online. A house-made hot chocolate bar runs alongside the decorating, and the recipe goes home with you.
A slower, more meaningful way to say goodbye to 2026 and welcome in 2027.
Thursday evening, enjoy Spanish tapas and wine, with a champagne toast at midnight. No class this evening. Enjoy our simple but elegant New Year’s celebration with upscale guest cocktails and snacks.
Friday opens with New Year’s brunch by Hannah, served late at around 10 am. Early that evening is Sushi 101, a participatory class covering rice, knife work, and rolling.
Saturday afternoon brings French macarons: how to make the shells and the fillings. After class, guests can head out to one of our favorite local restaurants. We are happy to make reservations ahead. Check-out is Sunday morning.

I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about my stay at The Inn on Church Road. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely welcomed. The owners are incredibly lovely, down-to-earth, and kind, and they have a way of making you feel less like a guest and more like part of the family. That warmth made my stay feel especially memorable. My room was absolutely beautiful, and the clawfoot tub was one of my favorite parts. I took a long soak and it was honestly one of the most relaxing moments of my entire trip. The room itself was comfortable, charming, and thoughtfully appointed, and I loved having a space that felt so peaceful and special. And then there was the breakfast! Hannah is an amazing chef, and both mornings I had breakfast, the selections were unique, delicious, and beautifully presented. It was such a treat to wake up knowing I had a wonderful breakfast waiting for me.
I also absolutely loved the screened-in outdoor porch. It was such a peaceful and comfortable space, and I spent some time sitting out there reading my book. It was exactly the kind of quiet, cozy experience I was hoping for during my trip.
And I have to mention the coffee machine because it was AMAZING! The coffee selections were wonderful, and the variety of teas was equally delicious. Those little touches really made the stay feel special. This was such a beautiful, relaxing, and memorable experience, and I am genuinely sad that my stay was over. The Inn on Church Road isn’t just a beautiful place to stay—it has a warmth and personality that makes you want to come back. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Hershey area who wants something peaceful, charming, and truly special.
