The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is back, and we had the chance to check it out for the first time this year! Running now through November 22, the festival transforms EPCOT into a global celebration of flavors, culture, and entertainment. With dozens of marketplaces, live music, and unique experiences, there’s something for every foodie to discover.
New Menu Items We Tried
One of the best parts of Food & Wine is sampling dishes from around the world, and this year’s lineup features plenty of new flavors. Here’s what we tried:
-
Milled & Mulled
Apple-Cinnamon and Caramel Mini Churros Sundae with Vanilla Bean Gelato (New)
A sweet, cozy treat perfect for fall. The warm cinnamon and caramel churros paired beautifully with creamy vanilla bean gelato.
-
Brew-Wing Lab
Fried Pickle Spears with Dill Ranch
Korean BBQ Wings with Gochujang Barbecue Sauce and Toasted Sesame (New)
The fried pickles were crunchy and tangy, while the Korean BBQ wings delivered the perfect mix of sweet, spicy, and savory.
-
Flavors of America
Gulf Coast-Style Seafood Roll with Warm-Water Lobster, Rock Shrimp, Lobster Bisque, and Sherry-Crème Fraîche on Toasted Brioche (New)
This roll was rich, buttery, and packed with fresh seafood flavor—a standout for sure.
-
Spain
Trio de Pintxos: Jamón Croqueta, Pan con Tomate, and Tortilla Española (New)
A tapas-style plate that gave us a little taste of everything, from crispy croquetas to a refreshing tomato-topped toast.
The festival isn’t just about eating—though that’s certainly the highlight! Guests can also browse exclusive merchandise collections, enjoy live performances through the Eat to the Beat Concert Series, and take part in fun activities like Emile’s Fromage Montage, a cheese crawl that rewards you with a sweet surprise at the end.
With the festival running through November 22, there’s plenty of time to plan your trip. Whether you’re a seasoned festival-goer or a first-timer, EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival is a can’t-miss Disney experience that brings together food, culture, and fun in one magical setting.
