Do you have a countdown going till the start of the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival? No? Just me?
New snacks to try!
If you’re just as excited as I am to run around EPCOT trying new foods and menus, then sit back and grab a pen because we got to try a menu item before the festival starts, and we’re bringing all the details to you.
We tried the Kirschwasser Torte, which will be at the Alps booth. This is new to the festival this year and is made with cherry-brandy buttercream, fondant, sugared almonds, and cherry compote.
Kirschwasser Torte
As soon as we got that first bite, we were in love. There were eight layers of perfect icing, and the sugared almonds on top provide a great crunch. When you get a bite of everything, there’s a great balance between the tartness and the sweetness. It’s not too sweet or has too much icing, and it really has such a nice balance between all the elements. We can’t wait to try this at the booth this year!
We loved it!
Also at the Alps booth, you can try the Warm Raclette Swiss Cheese and Alpine Ham with baby potatoes, cornichons, and a baguette. There’s also a version without the ham. Both are returning favorites and part of the Emile’s Fromage Montage, the cheese crawl, where if you try five, you get an additional snack for free!

You can also try the Frozen Rosé, which is returning, and there will also be the new Stiegl Brewery Goldbräu Austrian Märzen Lager.

We also got a sneak peek at some of the other dishes coming to the festival, and we’re eating it up (literally!).

There are chicken wings to try, too! You can find these at the Brew-Wing Lab inside the Odyssey Building.
YUM!
Whether you go sweet or savory, there are so many dishes to try at the festival.

Disclosure: In nearly all circumstances, Disney Food Blog writers and photographers pay full price for their own travel, hotel, food, beverage, and event tickets. We do this because it’s important to us as journalists to ensure not only that we give you unbiased opinions, but also that you can trust us to do so since we’re paying our own way. On rare occasions, when we are invited by a company to attend a preview as media, and when we choose to accept that invitation, we will always make you, our readers, aware of that situation. Today, we were invited by Disney World to attend their media preview of Food and Wine Festival 2025. Note that when we attend events as media we are 1) Not required to review that event/food on any of our channels, and 2) Not required to review that event/food favorably. You can always count on DFB to give you a 100% unbiased and honest review of any event that we attend, food that we eat, or beverage that we drink. You can see more in our Disclosure Policy.
