Epcot’s International Food & Wine Festival opens Thursday, Aug. 29, and runs daily through Nov. 23 with dozens of new and returning menus and food booths around the park.
Some of the fan-favorite items back at this year’s event include Emile’s Fromage Montage — inspired by the Ratatouille rodent’s love for cheese. The “cheese stroll” includes a passport to all the cheesy goodness there is to try around the Food & Wine Festival, including Swiss raclette cheese-covered potatoes, Greek griddled cheese, and the gooey Macatizers Menu. Try five cheese dishes and collect stamps for an exclusive cheese stroll prize at Shimmering Ships Marketplace.
The Muppets-themed Brew-Wing Lab Menu sets up shop again with pickle milkshakes and sweet, spicy and funky chicken-wing flavors.
