Walt Disney World’s Epcot resort offers many unique experiences to understand the world we live in. There are many activities that occur daily that immerse you into different cultures. The fall season gives us an even more hands on experience in what the different lands have to offer. During the months of October- November, Epcot provokes the senses with the Food and Wine Festival. Taste delectable offering of foods native to the different lands and also partake in wines from all over the world.
The festival has 27 marketplaces in which to try ethnic foods. Foods from Italy, New Zealand, Argentina, China, Ireland, and more! You can use your snack option on the Disney Dining Plan to purchase most food items offered. Guests can attend low priced or free seminars and demonstrations which include tastings of the cuisines. To attend signature or special events call 407-WDW-Fest (939-3378).
There are other special events that you can purchase separately. On select Thursday and Friday nights you can attend the “3D” Disney Desserts Discovery. The price is $45 a person. You get to sample different desserts then get a V.I.P viewing of Illuminations. There are tequila tastings, food and wine pairings, cheese seminars, food showcases, and dessert seminars. These will broaden your culinary horizons and allow you to enhance your taste buds and maybe bring the chef out in you.
Along with culinary treasures, Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival also has great music. The Eat to the Beat Concert series includes acts such Boys II Men, Jon Secada, Taylor Dane, Sugar Ray, Hanson, and more. These concerts occur at 5:15, 6:30, and 7:45 daily at the USA Pavilion.
