🍫 THE CALIFORNIA CHOCOLATE EXPOThe California Chocolate Expo is a premier shopping event celebrating craft chocolate, artisan confections, and handmade goods.
Hosted at the Red Lion Hotel in Redding, the Expo brings together talented chocolatiers, chocolate makers, confectioners, and specialty vendors offering everything from bold dark chocolate bars to creamy milk confections and gourmet treats.
Craft chocolate events spotlight independent makers and small-batch craftsmanship—and your admission helps support the production of this unique experience while giving you rare access to so many artisans in one place.
Beyond chocolate, you’ll find local artists, crafters, and small businesses, creative character appearances throughout the day, and the chance to vote in the Best of Show – People’s Choice Award.
Whether you’re a devoted chocolate lover or just enjoy shopping small and discovering something special, the California Chocolate Expo is a must-attend experience.
