If you are traveling to EPCOT Aug. 29-Nov. 23, 2024, you will get the chance to check out the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. This free event (with a regular admission price ticket) gives you the chance to have some special experiences that aren’t available at other times of the year.
2024 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival Experiences
While this year will be a little different than years past, you will still have a great time exploring different food & wine around World Showcase.
Here is what you can experience:
Global Marketplaces
The star of the show for this EPCOT festival is food and wine, so you can expect to find plenty of it throughout the park!
There will be Belgian Waffles topped with either Warm Chocolate Ganache or Berry Compote and Whipped Cream at a Belgium Global Marketplace.
They will also have the popular Fry Basket featuring French fries with unique toppings!
Guests should try the Fry Flight: Sea Salt and Malt Vinegar Fries; Barbecued Bacon Fries with smoked aïoli; and Sweet Potato Casserole Fries with candied pecans, toasted marshmallow cream and caramel whisky!
Aside from food, guests can also indulge in brews, ciders and wines will be offered individually or as flights!
Eat to the Beat Concert Series
One of the best perks of the Food & Wine Festival at Epcot is the free concerts you get to enjoy!
The 2024 Eat to the Beat lineup has not yet been announced, but once it does, we will have it!
Emile’s Fromage Montage
Do you love cheese? Here is your chance to try cheese from around the world!
Emile’s Fromage Montage allows you to sample a variety of delicious cheeses served in inventive ways.
Purchase 5 cheese dishes from select Global Marketplaces and collect a stamp for each dish.
Once you’ve collected 5 stamps, bring the stamped Festival Passport to Shimmering Sips for a specialty prize unique to the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival.
2022 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival Passport
If you are overwhelmed by all of the food and beverage options and don’t know where to go for what, Epcot has a handy Epcot International Food and Wine Passport. It is free and available at all Food Kiosks.
Inside the Passport you will find a list of all Kiosk locations and what types of food or beverage you will find there.
You can check off what you try and even get your passport stamped at the Kiosk that you go to.
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival Souvenirs
One of my favorite things about the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is that you can get unique souvenirs that you won’t find any other time of the year.
This year at the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival you will find Chef Figment featured.
He is featured on everything from Backpacks to Disney Limited Edition trading pins.
Bringing the Kids to the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival?
For a small fee, they can purchase Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak scavenger hunt maps at select merchandise locations in EPCOT.
Remy needs help with ingredients to make his signature dish, ratatouille.
Kids can search through the park to find 15 hidden Remy statuettes.
Once completed, they can take their completed maps to Disney Traders at the entrance to World Showcase to choose a surprise, compliments of Chef Remy.
From Sept. 29-Oct. 31 guest can take part in Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit.
With the purchase of a map and stickers, guests can search around EPCOT to look for hidden decorative pumpkins themed to Disney characters.
