Are you a big fan of the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival? Yeah, we know that festival is still MONTHS away, while we’re enjoying the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival, but it’s never too late to plan ahead.
Are you aware, though, that there’s ANOTHER Food & Wine Festival in Disney World — and it doesn’t even require a park ticket? Well, it’s held every year at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin, although this year’s price for the festival has nearly gone up $20!
Tickets are on sale now for the 2023 Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic to be held November 10th-11th, 2023. The event includes tastings from ALL of the Swan and Dolphin’s Restaurants, including Todd English’s bluezoo, Shula’s Steakhouse, Kimonos, and more.
The event also includes wine tastings, food, and wine seminars, special experiences (like a VIP Champagne and Dessert Party), and more. Note that the additional activities generally cost extra, in addition to your ticket to the event.
Tickets are on sale now for $185 per person, which is a $20 increase from last year’s event. The price of the ticket does include ALL the food and beverages at the festival’s food booths, although seminars and additional tastings and events do cost an additional fee.
Guests can get a discounted room rate at the Swan and Dolphin if they have tickets. You can call 888.828.8850 to book a discounted room, but you will need to have proof of purchase for your Food & Wine Classic ticket.
We’ve been to this festival before and have enjoyed it, but you’ll have to ask yourself if you’re willing to spend almost $200 (with service fees, the total comes to $197.50) per person to attend. We’ll be covering the event this year, so stay tuned for our food reviews!
