Carnival Corner, Chinatown, and The Pig & Poke
In addition to the Causeway Tasting Booths, the Food and Wine Classic offers three special food areas this year, Carnival Corner, Chinatown, and returning for 2019, The Pig & Poke.
In Carnival Corner, guests can indulge in dressed up fair food! We’ve delighted in Hand Dipped Corn Dogs, Kettle Corn, and Fried Oreos in years past.
Funfetti Fried Oreo
Chinatown joined the line up in 2016 and returns again this year, and the food is incredible.
Crispy Duck
I’ll be lining up for seconds of their Crispy Duck and Shanghai Dumplings this fall!
The Pig & Poke is a new Hawaiian Luau-themed area that debuted in 2018, where guests can indulge in new menu items including Traditional Earth Baked Kalua Pork, “Tuna Poke,” and Shave Ice.

Beatrice, November 8 and 9!
Wife and I have attended for the last 8 years along with 6 to 8 other couples. We all are extremely disappointed that the Festival committee has decided to combine the beer garden with the causeway tickets. For us that do not drink beer and wine together, that is an extra $60 per couple for something we will not use. We will find something else to do this year and hope that all the other people who feel the same will contact the event planners, whose names you can find in the website. I have emailed and called. No one has returned my calls but they did get the messages. I believe this venue change will affect the number attending and those attending may decide to buy a la carte tickets and get their drinks elsewhere on site. I am hoping the Festival committee will reconsider.
It’s very sad that they have dramatically increased the cost of the Festival Tickets. There are four of us already reserved to stay at the Dolphin… yet none of us drink… so the extra $60 is not fair or reasonable. We might have to change our plans and reservations…. so sad to find this out.
