What’s Actually NEW at Disney World’s Epcot Food and Wine Festival This Year??
This year has definitely had its share of unprecedented situations — and the Epcot Food and Wine Festival is also getting a bit of a shake-up!
Epcot Food and Wine Festival
When Epcot reopens to guests on July 15th, the park will also kick off the annual Food & Wine Festival. It will run from July through the fall, making it the longest Food & Wine to date! The festival will also include some elements from the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival, which began just a few days prior to the park closure.
There will only be 24 booths at the festival this year, but don’t worry, there will still be new eats (and drinks) to try! Let’s take a look at all of the NEW menu items coming to the Food & Wine Festival this year!
Africa
The Africa booth is returning to this year’s festival, featuring the brand-new Spicy Kenyan Vegan Corn and White Beans with Pigeon Peas, Quinoa & Ancient Grains Medley and Kachumbari Slaw!
