Foodie Guide to Epcot International Food & Wine Festival 2018
by Alex Dunlap, Food & Beverage Content Relations Coordinator
It’s that time of year – the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival is here! With delicious dishes and unique beverages influenced by cultures from around the world, this year we have more offerings than ever. The festival starts on August 30 and runs through November 12, but before you come and eat with us, why not prepare for your trip with my latest Foodie Guide? I’ve put together this list with all the info you could ever want on the menus for each of the Global Marketplaces located throughout the park.
In addition to the marketplaces, if you’re interested in dining experiences, check our special culinary experiences including pairing seminars, culinary demonstrations, and more! For more information or to make reservations, call (407) WDW-DINE (407 939-3463) or visit the Walt Disney World Resort website.
