Oregon Chocolate Festival

Chocolate. You either love it or hate it. Wait, no…you either love it or like it a lot!

Since 2005, Ashland Springs Hotel has hosted the Oregon Chocolate Festival to many a happy soul. In 2013 the festival took place over the first weekend in March and over 40 Oregon chocolate companies participated and shared their tasty and creative creations that included such delicious treats as drinking chocolate, bars, cookies, cupcakes and ice cream.

The festival itself offers tastings, chef demonstrations, workshops, and awards for a variety of categories. So if you have a sweet tooth and needed just one more reason to visit Ashland – or one more reason to relocate to this amazing town – perhaps this is it!

The Ashland culinary scene isn’t just limited to chocolate, of course! Ashland has a wide variety of places to eat & drink. We provide business listings for restaurants, coffee, bakeries and dessert locales, and some of the other food festivals that are hosted in Ashland each year. These consist of A Taste of Ashland and the Ashland Culinary Festival.

During the spring, summer and fall, Ashland also plays host to the Rogue Valley’s Grower’s Market – our local farmer’s market, on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
