Wilton founded the world’s first chocolate-themed hotel in England, and will be guiding guests in April for four master classes in tasting, truffle making, mould making and chocolate cocktails, among other specialties.

The classes, which take place from April 14 to 17 and April 18 to 21, will also feature gala dinners.
