Foodie Guide to the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival Beginning July 14




The favorite time of year for foodies and wine enthusiasts alike is almost here – the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival presented by CORKCICLE! Starting July 14 and running through November 19, this iconic festival serves up flavors from across six continents and unlocks unlimited fun through your tastebuds.


With more than 25 Global Marketplaces, indulge in cuisines from across the globe featuring the culinary mastery of the chefs and mixologists, who yet again do not disappoint. This year, there’s a brand-new marketplace The Fry Basket, featuring a true classic – French fries – as well as new items like the Chesapeake Crab Slider at Hops & Barley. And of course, there are returning favorites, including the can’t-be-missed Pão de Queijo Brazilian cheese bread.


There are tons for the entire family to enjoy, from jamming out to some classic tunes at the Eat to the Beat Concert Series presented by Florida Blue Medicare to Remy's Ratatouille Hide & Squeak scavenger hunt throughout the park. To add an extra spin to snacking, guests can try Emile’s Fromage Montage, a flavorful food stroll featuring some of the tasty cheese dishes that can’t be missed. As guests snack on these cheesy goodies, they can collect stamps by purchasing five of these items to redeem a special prize from Shimmering Sips. Be sure that guests pick up a Festival Passport to keep track of all their stamps and to see everything they can experience this year.
