EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival

The Epcot International Food and Wine Festival is one of the most popular and longest festivals at Walt Disney World. Its focus is on celebrating culinary arts across six continents. Most of the eleven countries in the World Showcase offer a festival booth where guests can purchase small plates to sample some of their most popular cuisines. In addition to those countries, you’ll find global marketplaces spread throughout the entire park, including countries like Brazil and Australia.

Below, we’ll preview everything you need to know to plan a visit. The planning information below is based on last year’s festival until new information is provided for the 2025 festival. While many things remain the same from year to year, some offerings may not return. Likewise, Disney often announces new additions to each year’s festival.
