The 3 Things We ALWAYS Bring to the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival

Can you BELIEVE it?! The 2023 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival starts in just ONE MONTH!

EPCOT Food and Wine Festival | 2022

This year’s festival runs from July 27th through November 18th, and it’ll bring 25 food booths, the Eat to the Beat concert series, a cheese crawl, and more to EPCOT. While we wait for more details about the menus and other offerings, we’re preparing for the big opening day by sharing 3 things we ALWAYS bring in our park bags!

A Food Tray

With so many great snacks to grab, you’ll need a way to carry everything back to your table. The snacks at each food booth come on small, individual plates, so if you get a couple of items plus a drink or two, suddenly it becomes very difficult to carry everything.

There’s a lot to carry here!

That’s why we always bring along a portable tray! You can load up all of your eats and bring it back to the table without worrying about dropping everything.

Plastic Cafeteria Tray

You can often find cute trays in EPCOT around festival time, but you can also get super cheap cafeteria trays on Amazon!

The DFB Food and Wine Festival Guide

EPCOT already has a LOT of great restaurants throughout the park, but for the Food & Wine Festival, 25 MORE temporary marketplaces will be added, each serving unique and tasty eats. It can be a lot to navigate, so we’re here to help!

Food & Wine Festival

We’ve created the DFB Guide to the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, which has more than 250 pages of information about this event based on YEARS of our team visiting the festival. The Guide breaks down each booth to help you plan out which you want to visit and which you’d rather skip. It’s also got our “Best of the Fest” list so that you don’t miss out on any of the best eats and drinks!
