The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival starts today, July 27, 2023, and runs through November 18, 2023.
This year, the Festival welcomes new dishes like the Dark Chocolate Fondue from The Alps and the Chilaquiles from Flavors of America, a well as four brand-new Global Marketplaces – Char & Chop, Wine & Wedge, Bubbles & Brine, and Swirled Showcase!
Experiment with delicious flavors at Brew-Wing Lab at the Odyssey where guests will embark on a flavorful adventure, featuring the culinary creations – and madcap mishaps – of Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and his assistant, Beaker, from Muppet Labs!
Festival Fun
Take part in a returning fan-favorite Emile’s Fromage Montage. This delicious food stroll features several cheesy goodies from the Global Marketplaces. Simply pick up a Festival Passport and collect stamps by purchasing five of these items. Once you’ve gotten them all, head over to Shimmering Sips for a special redemption prize.
Embark on Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak, a Ratatouille-inspired adventure that’s très magnifique! Kids of all ages can search for Remy on a savory scavenger hunt around the festival. Once you’ve found every Remy, bring your completed map to one of the following locations to get a special surprise, compliments of Chef Remy himself.
The tunes come out with the Eat to the Beat Concert Series, featuring nightly performances from local and renowned musical acts. Check out the full lineup here.
