Follow along for a D23-exclusive Q&A with the 2018 Food & Wine Festival Producer, a backstage kitchen tour, a chef-guided walkthrough of the Marketplace, time to enjoy this years’ featured culinary favorites, and a private dessert reception before VIP viewing of World of Color!
Celebrate the bounty of California during the 2018 Food & Wine Festival at Disney California Adventure park! The Official Disney Fan Club is thrilled to extend this fan-favorite event to the west coast for the first time with a fun-filled day of cuisine, beverages, behind-the-scenes experiences, and more!
The event will begin at the Sonoma Terrace with a celebratory toast and D23-exclusive Q&A with Food & Wine Festival Producer Jim Ames. As producer (and certified sommelier), Jim will share how the 2018 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival came together this year, as well as discuss a few fan-favorite returning items and must-try new additions!
Then, attendees will have the unique opportunity to head backstage and tour a production kitchen to see how our cast members bring this festival to life! Of course, a behind-the-scenes kitchen tour would not be complete without a sample of one of Jim’s favorite Festival items.
D23’s Sip & Stroll will continue with a chef-guided tour of the Festival Marketplace kiosks. Our guide will stop by several of the 13 kiosks to share inspiration and details for a selection of the menu items that celebrate the Golden State.
Guests will have time to explore the Marketplace on their own and try various culinary selections using a complimentary $25 Disney Gift Card.
The event culminates in a delightful dessert reception at Paradise Park. The group will mix and mingle in the moonlight while enjoying desserts and beverages—the perfect setting to enjoy VIP viewing of the stunning nighttime spectacular World of Color!
Each attendee will also receive a D23-exclusive gift—created just for the event.
