CUMBERLAND COUNTY, Pa. — Calling all java fans and chocoholics: Starting Wednesday, you can celebrate both passions on a new Coffee & Chocolate Trail, presented by VisitCumberlandValley.com.
The Coffee & Chocolate Trail allows fans of good food and drink to combine two everyday pleasures into one trip through the county.
"We invite you to sip, savor, and try a bite on our NEW Coffee & Chocolate Trail," the organization says on its website. "With a number of locations conveniently located near each other, it’s easy to combine these two everyday pleasures into a delightful and delicious adventure as you explore the charming towns of the Cumberland Valley. Settle into cozy coffeeshops for aromatic drinks or satisfy your chocolate cravings as you check in to earn prizes."
To enjoy the Coffee & Chocolate Trail, go to the website and register online for a free passport, which will be texted directly to your mobile phone and is ready to use immediately (there's no need to download any apps). Your pass can be saved to your phone’s home screen for easy one-tap access.
When you visit one of the 15 businesses on the Coffee & Chocolate Trail, you can check in to earn prizes. When visiting a participating business, simply present your phone to the attendant or staff member to receive a 4-digit PIN to count towards your prize.
Five check-ins on any single Cumberland Valley digital passport will earn you a keychain to display the travel rings you've collected. You may only earn the keychain once, regardless of the number of trails you participate in.
Ten check-ins will earn you a Cumberland Valley Coffee & Chocolate Trail tote.
