There’s a not-quite-hidden but not super well-known food and wine festival in Disney World, and you don’t need a Disney World park ticket to get in.
If you’ve already visited EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival, you know that to get to the festival you need a ticket to EPCOT as well as additional funds to spend on food and wine goodies. So what if we told you that this festival DOES require a ticket, but the food and drinks are unlimited?! It’s held inside the Disney Swan and Dolphin Resort Hotels! Interested? Let’s dive in!
The annual Food and Wine Classic is returning to Disney’s Swan and Dolphin Resort hotels from October 29th through the 30th! The Swan and Dolphin Hotels are located about halfway in between EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
This is the 12th year for this festival, and it takes place from 5:30PM to 9PM for 2 days. At this all-inclusive outdoor event, you’ll be able to experience over 20 culinary selections from the Swan and Dolphin restaurants. There will be over 100 wine tastings from around the world!

There are room packages beginning at $580 for one night and two tickets to the event, so you can even plan a getaway! You can also purchase tickets to the event if you aren’t staying at the hotels.
Tickets cost $165, and the event will feature over 20 food stations and over 100 drinks from around the world event! All tickets grant guests unlimited food and drink tastings at the event. Children under 5 are free with a ticketed adult.
You can purchase your tickets online or by calling 1-800-227-1500. The $165 ticket price does include unlimited food and drinks, and it’s a unique opportunity to attend a Disney festival without entering a Disney Park! Keep reading DFB for more Disney World food news!
