Epcot International Food & Wine Festival 2019

The 2019 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival will be returning to Epcot for even longer this year running August 29 – November 23, 2019. With delicious dishes, wine, beer, and other beverages from over 30 individual marketplaces and even more days to enjoy them, we cannot wait to attend.

Back again this year, special dining packages will be available for the Eat to the Beat Concert Series.

Dining packages are available for breakfast, lunch, or dinner at most table-service restaurant in Epcot and guarantee you seating at one of the three concert performances that day.

In addition to the festival activities, marketplace, and concert series included in Epcot park admission, the festival will also feature special events and activities for an additional fee including food & wine pairings, culinary demonstrations with celebrity chefs, beverage seminars, cheese seminars, Party for the Senses, specialty dining and pairings, and more.

The Wine & Dine Studio

With some of our favorites returning like the Charcuterie in a Cone from Spain and the Spicy Hummus Fries from Moccoro, and lots of new tempting offerings, the festival this year sounds delicious and we cannot wait to get there and try as many of these items as possible! We are sad to not see New Zealand on this list of booths this year, as the lamb meatball was one of our favorites last year and we also really enjoyed the Light Lab as an air-conditioned location with fun drinks. We’d love to hear what your favorite items are and what you are excited or going to miss at the 2019 festival!
