The artisan chocolate festival in Santa Caterina
Every summer, in the heart of Santa Caterina Valfurva — a renowned resort in Alta Valtellina, in the province of Sondrio — comes Chocomoments, the artisan chocolate festival. For four days around Ferragosto, the town centre fills with fragrant stands where master chocolatiers present and sell chocolate in all its forms and qualities.
Chocomoments is not just an exhibition market: it's an immersive experience. The little ones can participate in the Choco Baby workshops, learning to make chocolates, while adults can sign up for chocolate processing courses. Every day, cooking shows demonstrate live the preparation of Sacher cakes, typical pralines, and spectacular creations, including record-breaking chocolate bars.
The event is part of Santa Caterina's rich summer calendar, which during Ferragosto offers numerous initiatives involving sport, tradition, and entertainment. Chocomoments adds a sweet and festive note to one of the liveliest weeks of the Valtellina summer, attracting tourists and food lovers from all over the valley.
Santa Caterina Valfurva is a pearl set in the Stelvio National Park, loved in winter for skiing and in summer for hiking. Experiencing Chocomoments means combining the pleasure of artisan chocolate with the beauty of a unique alpine landscape, in one of the most charming municipalities in the province of Sondrio.
From August 16 to 18, 2026, the centre of Santa Caterina Valfurva will be filled with fragrant stands for Chocomoments, the chocolate festival in all its forms. With cooking shows, workshops for children, courses for adults, and tastings, the event brings three days of sweetness to the heart of Alta Valtellina, during the Ferragosto celebrations.
The detailed program for the 2026 edition will be published shortly before the event on the official channels of Santa Caterina Valfurva and Chocomoments.
