California Chocolate Expo 2025 | Craft Chocolate & Artisan Shopping

The California Chocolate Expo is a premier shopping event celebrating craft chocolate and artisan goods. Hosted at the Red Lion Hotel in Redding, this event brings together talented chocolatiers, chocolate-makers, confectioners, and specialty vendors offering a wide variety of handcrafted chocolate creations, from bold dark bars to creamy milk confections.
For those new to the concept, a craft chocolate event is about bringing together independent chocolate artisans in one place to highlight their craftsmanship. Your admission fee helps support the event's production and provides a rare opportunity to experience so many unique offerings in a single location.
Beyond chocolate, the expo features a diverse selection of local artists, crafters, and small businesses, making it the perfect place to discover unique gifts, gourmet treats, and specialty products. This year, our lounge will host non-food vendors for a free craft show, giving guests the chance to explore and shop before reaching the admission
booth for the expo area.
Live entertainment in our lounge sets the mood with music and performances, adding to the festive atmosphere. Plus, chocolate lovers can vote for their favorite creations in the Best of Show Competition's People's Choice category.
Whether you're a dedicated chocolate aficionado or simply love supporting artisan makers, the California Chocolate Expo is the ultimate destination for discovering and shopping small-batch, high-quality confections and handcrafted goods.
