It’s time again for the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival!

This year’s event has some awesome food booths, incredible entertainment, and exciting merchandise, and we’re checking everything out and reporting back to you. We know a lot of our readers are interested in the eats, so let’s chat about the Germany booth. Time for a full review!

Menu

Germany is pretty special at this year’s festival, because it’s home to not one, but TWO 30th Anniversary legacy menu items. Both the Schinkennudeln and the Apple Strudel are back again. There’s also a new Weiner Schnitzel.

And of course, this is a popular stop for beer, so you have a few options as far as drinks go. Let’s get to eating!

Eats

We’re kicking our review off with the brand new Wiener Schnitzel! This is made with a breaded veal cutlet featuring HEINZ Brauhaus Mustard, Warm Yukon Gold Potato Salad, Bacon, Watercress-Radish Salad, and Lemon, all for $7.29.

This was absolutely incredible, and we are obsessed! It was so crispy and thin, and the veal was not dry at all. The mustard was super tangy and really flavorful, adding the perfect kick without overwhelming the dish. The light salad complemented the heaviness of this dish really well. The potatoes were soft without being mushy, and overall, this was one of our favorite items we tried all day.

As we mentioned above, the Schinkennudeln is back this year for $5.29. It’s a pasta gratin with ham, onions, and cheese, and it’s both a 30th Anniversary item AND part of Emile’s Fromage Montage. Last year when we had it, we found it to be absolutely delicious — cheesy with some nice saltiness from the ham.

This year, we thought it was really good! The noodles were cooked really well and absorbed all of the creamy and cheesy flavors. This dish really is a cheese lover’s dream! There was so much cheese on top that it melted into the entire dish so well. While we thought the ham had a good flavor, it was hidden behind all the cheese; that being said, when we could taste the ham, it added a nice saltiness to the dish.

We also snagged the returning Apple Strudel with vanilla sauce. It’s a 30th Anniversary item as well, and you can get it for $4.99. In 2025, it had lots of cinnamon and powdered sugar, and the vanilla sauce reminded us of melted ice cream.

This year, it was really great. That vanilla bean sauce was excellent, and the pastry itself was very crispy. The apple cinnamon flavor was amazing, although we did find the apples to be slightly too mushy. Overall, if you love those classic fall flavors, this is a must-try for you.

Now, on to the beverages!

Drinks

One of the drinks on the menu is new this year, and that’s the Schöfferhofer Orange Spritz Hefeweizen. You can get 6 oz. for $6 or 12 oz. for $9.75. This was so good and so light! This is a blood orange spritz that is just so refreshing and delicious. Super easy to sip on and very drinkable!

The Weihenstephaner Festbier is returning, and it’s also 6 oz. for $6 or 12 oz. for $9.75. When we had it in 2025, it was a very classic beer with lots of bite and bitterness.

There’s also the von Trapp Brewing Oktoberfest Märzen-style Lager, which is the same price as the others for an individual pour. We had it in 2025 as well, and it had an aged taste that sits on your tongue for a while.

You can order all three of these beverages in a Beer Flight for $12.75 or snag the Selbach-Oster Riesling for $9.

OVERALL

We enjoyed our time at the Germany Booth this year! We think that this is worth a long wait in line for the Wiener Schnitzel alone. That dish was SO incredible, and we highly recommend everyone add it to their must-have list and wait in the Germany line, even if it is long to grab it.

Everything else was really good; there was nothing we loved as much as the Wiener Schnitzel, but we don’t think you’ll be disappointed by anything we tried today. And if you are a cheese lover, make sure to make one of your Emilie’s Fromage Montage stops the Schinkennudeln! 

Thanks for coming along with us! Stay tuned for more updates from the festival.
