You Might Need to Lie Down After the Germany Booth at the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival

Raise a glass and say, “PROST,” my friends! It’s time to go to Germany!

Germany Festival Booth

The Germany Booth has a long history at the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival and is well-known for serving up some absolutely classic Festival dishes. And even though it may be hard to tear yourself away from Karamell-Küche while you’re visiting the Germany pavilion, we think you’ll find that this Festival Marketplace Food Booth offers plenty to lure you in when it comes to classic German cuisine.

Selbach-Oster Riesling QbA presents a wine option but, as you might anticipate, beer makes up most of the Beverage menu with the new Schöfferhofer Lemon Zest Hefeweizen and von Trapp Brewing Dunkel Lager joining the Weihenstephaner Festbier this year. The beers may be tried on their own, or in a Beer Flight.

“Lass uns Essen!” (Let’s EAT!)

Let’s hit the Germany booth!

Eats

Schinkennudeln may just be the most popular item at the Germany Booth, and it’s one we’ve loved for years. This rich pasta gratin dish with ham, onions, and cheese costs $5.25. This dish, by the way, is an eligible item if you’re participating in the Emile’s Fromage Montage cheese crawl during the Festival!

Schinkennudeln

This is always a favorite of ours. You get all the delicious flavors in a hearty dish. It is sure to fill you up, so grab it while you’re hungry. BEWARE: You may feel the need to take a nap after enjoying it! It reminds us of a hearty baked mac & cheese. This is a must-get, especially if you like cheese!

The Bratwurst, for $6.25, is served on a pretzel roll with mustard.

On the opposite end of the spectrum from the pasta gratin dish, we weren’t a big fan of the bratwurst. It was kind of chewy and the bread was surprisingly a bit stale. The mustard did save it, but it might not have been enough. However, if you’re looking for a simple “hot dog,” this might be what you’re looking for.

The classic Apple Strudel is complete with vanilla sauce and costs $4.75.

The apples were crispy while the crusty was soft, and it was a great combination! It was great, but it needed more vanilla sauce. We could have used a whole helping of that vanilla sauce on the side, but alas, there was just a small drizzle on the side.

Drinks

The Beer Flight features the new-to-the-Festival Schöfferhofer Lemon Zest Hefeweizen and von Trapp Brewing Dunkel Lager joining the Weihenstephaner Festbier. When we stopped by they were already out of the Schöfferhofer Lemon Zest Hefeweizen, so they gave us two Weihenstephaner Festbier.

The Schöfferhofer Lemon Zest Hefeweizen is available here in place of the well-known Grapefruit Hefeweizen. (But don’t fret! You can find that popular beer at Festival Favorites, fittingly enough.)

Full Spread at the Germany Booth

The Germany Beer Flight is $10.25. If you prefer, though, you can try them individually for $5.75 for 6 ounces or $9.75 for 12 ounces.

The von Trapp Brewing Dunkel Lager is brewed in Vermont. Fun fact: if you visit the von Trapp Brewing website, you’ll find that “Yup, we are those von Trapps.” This dark beer was a typical dark beer while the Weihenstephaner Festbier was a typical light beer. Both were refreshing and easy beers to drink, but there was nothing particularly special about them.

Wine drinkers can opt for the Selbach-Oster Riesling QbA for $9.00.

OVERALL

We’ll keep coming back for that Schinkennudeln! We would recommend skipping the bratwurst, but the rest is worth a try. If you’re looking for a nice refreshing beer that’s not too adventurous, then one of these might be for you!
