The Flying Fish Cafe at Disney’s Boardwalk Resort will be hosting Wine Dinners during the 2011 Epcot Food & Wine Festival.
Five delicious dinners are slated, in addition to the Signature Dinner scheduled for November 3rd (which we’ve heard is sold out, but we hope it’s not)!
Add a Flying Fish Wine Dinner to your Festival touring plans for a truly memorable occasion. We absolutely adore Flying Fish Cafe, and I hope you will, too!

Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
Do we know how much these dinners are?
I’m wondering about that too. I expect them to be in the range of the Chef’s Counter or F&W signature dinner but they might price each week differently.
I’ve got an email in to the source to find out 🙂
$149 per person including gratuity! 🙂
Do you know how and where they will announce these? I called the restaurant but never received a call back.
Bill — Try to contact them again; I know folks have been able to book these already. 🙂
They just released details about the 10/6 dinner and there were still 9 seats left.
