We’ve Gotta Share Some Bad News About Some Of The 2023 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival Booths

July 22, 2023 ,

Can you even HANDLE your excitement?? The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is almost here and we cannot WAIT to revisit some of our favorite eats.

Full spread from The Alps!

A few popular snacks are returning to the festival in 2023, like the Pão de Queijo at the Brazil booth, the Canadian Cheddar and Bacon Soup at the Canada booth, and the Beignet aux Trois Fromages at the France booth. So which fan-favorite eats and treats are we MISSING in 2023? Make sure to check out this list, because some of your favorite items might not be at this year’s festival, and you don’t want to be disappointed when you arrive!

We finally got the full menus for all the food booths at this year’s Food & Wine Festival a little while ago, and we were happy to see that most of the things that we loved in 2022 are returning in 2023. But what’s missing? Let’s dig in.

The Entire Mac & Eats Food Booth

This booth will not return in 2023, and we’re pretty sad about it.

Mac and Eats spread

We really enjoyed some of the Mac & Cheese combos available here. Goodbye, Cowboy Macaroni & Cheese with Smoked Pork Belly, Brisket Burnt Ends, Pickled Peppers, and Onion Straws.

The Entire Earth Eats Food Booth

Earth Eats served up plant-based eats last year, and we really loved a couple of the snacks! The Impossible Meatballs in particular were one of our favorite items. They were served with herbed polenta, a rustic puttanesca sauce, and basil pesto.

Yum!

There are still several plant-based items at the 2023 festival, but they’re just not all together at one booth (to find them, check out our booths and menus page and look for items that say “plant-based” in parenthesis after the item name).

Mini Pina Colada Funnel Cake at Funnel Cake Stand

The Funnel Cake Stand debuts a new flavor every festival, so we’re not surprised to see the Mini Piña Colada Funnel Cake leave the menu, but we’ll still miss it.

In 2023, there will be a Candied Bacon Funnel Cake instead!

Gnocchi di Patate with Mushrooms from Italy

The Italy booth did. not. miss. in 2022. We especially loved the Gnocchi di Patate! Unfortunately, these won’t be on the menu in 2023.

Gnocchi di Patate number one

Instead, this booth will have a bunch of new dishes, including Focaccia Ripiena, Cavatelli with Sweet Sausage Ragout and Crispy Applewood-Smoked Bacon, and Lemon Ricotta Cheesecake.

Mocha Madness at Joffrey’s Coffee: The American Adventure

Like the Funnel Cake Stand, the Joffrey’s locations in EPCOT change out their festival offerings each year. We really liked the Mocha Madness drink from 2022, but it won’t return in 2023.

Mocha Madness

Here’s a look at the Joffrey’s drinks available in 2023:

Baked Scampi Dip at Coastal Eats

The Baked Scampi Dip was a super delicious snack, but it’s not on Coastal Eats’ menu for 2023.

This spot will still serve Lump Crab Cake with Aïoli and Vinegar Slaw and Oysters Rockefeller, though!

The Appleseed Orchard Food Booth

Appleseed Orchard was a booth in the Canada pavilion, located back in the Canada Far and Wide movie theater. This booth served autumn flavors like an Apple Crumble Tart, as well as ciders and beers.

Apple Crumble Tart

We’re sad this booth is not returning, but at least that means that Canada Far and Wide won’t have to close during the festival!

The Swanky Saucy Swine Food Booth

Lots of food booths are disappearing in 2023! This booth had some adventurous eats, including Crispy Barbecued Pork Rinds and Sticky Ribs, but it’s not coming back in 2023.

Swanky Saucy Swine food and drink selections

It’s not all bad news, though! There are lots of NEW things coming in 2023, including four brand-new food booths.
