Attending the 2017 Epcot® International Food & Wine Festival?

Foodies rejoice! August 31, 2017, marks the return of the annual Epcot® International Food & Wine Festival at Walt Disney Resort. The festival, which runs until November 13, highlights scrumptious global cuisines, viniculture, and cooking. Music concerts and entertainment round out an ambitious schedule that includes workshops, cooking classes, special tasting dinners hosted and cooked by master chefs, and a lot more.

The festival, now in its 22nd year, is a highlight of any Orlando event calendar, attracting food and wine lovers from all over North America. They come for the international marketplace that features food, wine, and beer from around the world. Appetizer-sized portions usually range from $4.00 – $8.00. The Wine and Dine Studio offers regional dinner entrees with imaginative wine pairings.

Cooking seminars led by industry experts demonstrate how to recreate delicious dishes in your kitchen. Mixology tutorials will teach you how to concoct classic cocktails and the latest custom drinks. All this and vintage bottle signing, book signings by celebrity food authors, events geared to children, and shops bursting with food and wine merchandise to purchase are available at the festival.

Stay locally, and you won’t have far to waddle in order to rest up for the next round of tastings.
