Sure, there’s plenty to see, eat, and do there. But Disney World actually has ANOTHER food and wine festival, too: the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic, where you can sample unlimited amounts of foods from all of that resort’s restaurants for the price of one ticket. Now, you have two new reasons to go to the Food & Wine Classic.

The 2023 Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic takes place on November 10th and November 11th from 5:30PM to 9PM on both days. Advance-purchase, event-only tickets to enjoy unlimited food and beverage tastings on the Causeway are $185 per person, plus service fees.

Drink Up!

This year, some NEW menu items are coming to the festival, but there are also two OTHER new things you’ll get to experience. The festival will feature two immersive themed areas: The first is called For the Love of Florida and will celebrate local food and ingredients with Florida flavors, including:

Seminole Pumpkin Fry Bread with powdered sugar and warm pumpkin spice sauce
Grilled Florida Oysters with housemade kumquat hot sauce, and shallot butter
Butter Poached Bay Scallops with Florida corn puree, charred scallion vinaigrette, radish threads, and shallot butter

The second themed area is The Rosé Room which will “transport guests to a tranquil garden party, complete with topiaries, roses and classical-style covers of modern-day hits.” As expected, you’ll also be able to sip on various selections of rosé.

If that sounds good, you’ll want to grab those tickets quickly — you can do so here. You can also book additional experiences, like The Grand Tasting, which will lead you through a “journey of elite wines” paired with a custom chef’s table menu. There’s also a VIP Dessert and Champagne Party where you can snack on sweets and sip bubbly while watching the EPCOT fireworks from the private event space at the top of the Swan Reserve.
