2019 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We had a wonderful time on our recent trip to Epcot. We were able to taste our way around the world at the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From August 29 until November 23, 2019, Epcot is having their annual International Food and Wine Festival at the Epcot World Showcase.<\/a><\/strong> Just when you thought Epcot couldn’t get any yummier…well, they do. This festival is a foodie’s dream! In addition to all of the delicious dishes, the festival also offers fine wine, craft beer, spirits, and other beverages (some non-alcoholic). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your admission to the park includes visiting the festival and no additional ticket is required to attend the Food & Wine Festival. Each Marketplace Booth represents a different country. They offer a small portion of popular dishes from their region (costing anywhere from $3-$8). While enjoying the festival, you can order whatever you like and sit anywhere to enjoy your food. I highly recommend wearing stretchy pants on the day of your visit to this festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each menu shows which dishes are vegan, gluten-free, and\/or kid-approved. There is also a recommended food and drink pairing. I always have trouble knowing what drinks pair well with certain foods so this is a great help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before heading into the World Showcase, you can stop by the Epcot Food and Wine Festival Welcome Center to receive details and helpful tips and information. Here at the Welcome Center, you can get a Park Map, Times Guide, and Festival Passport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we entered the World Showcase, we headed east because…well… the smells of Thailand and Mexico were calling our name!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are over 30 individual marketplaces and about 200 dishes to enjoy while at this festival – so many great options! Here is the route we took, Marketplaces we visited, and the dishes we enjoyed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
