Here’s our review of the food at last year’s Epcot Food and Wine Festival.

Festival Center

Disney has likely confirmed that the Wonders of Life Pavilion will play host as the Festival Center this year. Their maps and informational materials point to the Wonders of Life and with a roof renovation nearing completion, it’s likely that we’ll once again be able to enter the old pavilion after The Odyssey played host for recent festivals. For a look at the Wonders of Life Pavilion during last year’s event, check out our photo tour.

Beginning June 14, 2018, you can book your spot at special events.

Culinary demonstrations will take place Monday through Saturday at the Festival Center Stage at 12:30pm. Cost is $17 per guest, plus tax. To book your spot (starting on June 14th), visit Disney’s official site.

In addition to the culinary demonstrations, there is a Cheese Seminar and Beverage Seminars that will also open for booking on June 14, 2018.

A brand new Mimosa Bar is also coming to the Festival Center. In addition to the Mimosa Bar, guests can find wine and local beers, select food options and complimentary samples and seminars hosted by Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Company.

Official event merchandise can also be found at the Festival Center.
