Hi there!!!:wave:

We did this at Epcot last year and it was excellent, really something different, and lots of lovely wines to try!!!:drinkbeer

It ran from 29th Sept - 12th November and there is also things for kids to do. If you take a look at my photo gallery I have a picture of the children with the chefs mask they were making (picture taken in Italy) at each of the countries.

There is also loads of Food & Wine Festival souveniers to buy, we really enjoyed it, the Florida Shrimp is YUMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:tounge:

The Food and Wine Festival is great!! A must do if you are there when its on.

It was a great atmosphere and it was lovely having a wander round the countries sampling the food and drink.

We are going to save some of our snack credits from the DDP to use at the Festival. We will go at least twice, once during the day and once in the evening. The evening has a better atmosphere but it will be more crowded than if you go at 11am when World Showcase opens.

Highly recommended.:thumbs-up

The Food & Wine Festival is great. Lots going on including food samples, wine tastings and cookery demos as well as the Eat to the Beat concert series. Some events are by ticket at extra cost, others are included with park admission. The sample size portions of food and drinks from around the world are mostly only a few $$$ each. There are some more details in my October trip report.

DH was really looking forward to this last year. There were really big queues at the stalls but we were late going to eat.

DM & DF were really hungry & wouldn't wait in the queues - so we tried.......Harry Ramsdens for fish & chips! DH was very very annoyed that there were loads of different things to try & we had fish and chips!!!!! :erm: :erm: :erm:

also, if you have the ddp, you can use it at the snack stands in the world showcase!
