The start of the 2015 Epcot Food and Wine Festival is so close!

As we count down the days, the excitement for the 2015 Epcot Food and Wine Festival is building! This year marks the 20th anniversary for the festival and we can’t wait to experience the Culinary Demonstrations, Beverage and Mixology Seminars, and the festival’s Special Events!

We also can’t wait to wine and dine our way through the Marketplace booths!

Today we’re going to take a look at two festival favorites – the Australia Marketplace booth and the Ireland Marketplace booth.

Australia Marketplace Booth

Australia has been part of the Epcot Food and Wine Festival since 1997 and each year they’re serving great dishes from the land down under!

This year we’re excited to see that yummo Lamington cake return to the menu.

2015 Australia Marketplace Booth Menu

• Grilled Sweet and Spicy Bush Berry Shrimp with Pineapple, Peppers, Onions and Snap Peas
• Grilled Lamb Chop with Mint Pesto and Potato Crunchies
• Lamington Yellow Cake Dipped in Chocolate and Shredded Coconut
• Coopers Brewery Extra Strong Vintage Ale
• Chateau Tanuda Grand Barossa Dry Reisling
• Bulletin Place Unoaked Chardonnay
• Yangarra Estate Vineyard Shiraz

New for this year is the Grilled Sweet and Spicy Bush Berry Shrimp with Pineapple, Peppers, Onions, and Snap Peas.

The Grilled Lamb Chop with Mint Pesto and Potato Crunchies is always a festival favorite!

You’ll want to save room for dessert as this year the Lamington returns to the menu! We love this yellow cake dipped in chocolate and topped with shredded coconut!

This dessert is the perfect sweet ending!

Ireland Marketplace Booth

The Ireland Marketplace booth is VERY popular and you’ll find a long line whenever you stop by. It’s best to make plans to visit Ireland early!

2015 Ireland Marketplace Booth Menu

• Lobster and seafood fisherman’s pie
• Kerrygold® cheese selection: Reserve cheddar, Dubliner with Irish Stout and Skellig
• Warm Chocolate Pudding with Kerrygold irish Cream Liquor Custard
• Kilkenny Irish Cream Ale
• Bunratty Meade Honey Wine
• Chilled Irish Coffee featuring Bunratty Potcheen
• Kerrygold® Irish Cream Liqueur

You can’t go wrong with any of the menu items from Ireland! Cheese lovers will enjoy the Kerrygold Cheese Selection.

The Lobster and Seafood Fisherman’s Pie is always a must-eat item from Ireland and the reason for the long lines!

Of course you can’t go wrong with a warm chocolate pudding. This might be one of our favorite desserts at the festival.

Ireland isn’t just about the food, though! Pair your cheese plate with the Meade honey wine.

When you can’t escape the heat during the Epcot Food and Wine Festival we suggest slowing down with a Chilled Irish Coffee!

The Ireland Marketplace booth is one you’ll want to add to your must-visit list at the Epcot Food and Wine Festival! It’s a fan favorite for all the right reasons!
