Epcot International Food & Wine Festival Attendees
Disney
If you can’t tell by now, I’m a Disney fanatic who spends all my spare time there. We won’t discuss the exact number of visits this year, but it’s definitely more than ten! It’s a busy weekend for Disney, as this weekend also marks the grand opening of the new Beak and Barrel Tavern in Magic Kingdom. The park’s fun and magic doesn’t stop there! I’m thrilled to share that it’s time for one of my favorite events of the year: Epcot International Food and Wine Festival, which will run from now until November 22, 2025.
What Is The International Food And Wine Festival?
Long story short, it’s a cultural and culinary passport that brings not just food and wine, but also the rich culture from six continents to Disney’s Epcot theme park. And while you can find authentic baseline offerings year-round in Epcot at each of the pavilions, during the festival, kiosks and restaurants get in on the action, too, all with a unique festival-exclusive menu or offer.
You’ll Get Way More Than Food And Drinks
Eat To The Beat Concert Series Attendees
Disney
The festivals and events across the parks are a testament to the incredible value for money they offer. With a wide range of activities, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. For instance, during the Food and Wine Festival, park goers can enjoy the “Eat To The Beat” Concert Series at no additional cost! This year’s lineup includes Jordin Sparks, The Fray, Boyz II Men, Hanson, Sheila E., Hoobastank, and Smashmouth, making it a truly unbeatable deal.
Pick Up Some Fun Prizes Along The Way
Cheese lovers, this one is for you! Experience the world of cheese by tasting global cheese dishes at Emile’s Fromage Montage. Each year, the festival offers a “passport” that guides you to the key dishes and drinks throughout Epcot. If you purchase five of the featured dishes and collect the stamps after each purchase, you’ll be rewarded with a delicious festival treat at Shimmering Sips marketplace.
Food And Drinks You Don’t Want To Miss
There are so many items to sample across the pavilions. If you’re able to visit Epcot more than once during the festival, do it! There are several options at each stop (and far too many to list)! However, here are some new and returning crowd pleasers that foodies, bloggers, and festival attendees are excited to bite into! And, sip on!

What I really love about Epcot’s International Food and Wine Festival is its affordability and the exciting variety of food options. Based on my past visits (and guiding others through Epcot/Epcot festivals), the average cost is about $12-15 per stop if you’re purchasing food and a drink. Of course, if you’re not doing both, you can expect to spend a little less, as most food offerings hover around $5-$7. The diverse range of food options, from international delicacies to local favorites, is sure to excite your taste buds.
Happy Dining!
