Fall is an exciting time to indulge in different foods, and a great place to do that is EPCOT!

EPCOT

And… right next to EPCOT. Sure, we all know about the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival where you can snag different small bites from the seasonal booths scattered throughout the park. However, a lesser-known fall food event takes place outside of EPCOT but just nearby — at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotel. 

The Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic has been a fan-favorite event for Disney adults and food-lovers alike for the past 14 years! This year, the event will take place on November 10th and 11th. Booths and tables line the sidewalks and lounging areas that surround the Swan and Dolphin, and guests have the opportunity to try some new snacks and sips as well as watch some pretty cool chef demonstrations and seminars.
