Come With Us To Eat and See EVERYTHING at the 2024 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival
Today’s THE DAY! The 2024 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival has opened and we’re in the park all day — eating and drinking everything, checking out the new merchandise, and MORE!
2024 Food and Wine Festival
We wait all year long for this festival and it has a LOT to offer. There are plenty of food booths with tasty items, merchandise items to grab (of course), and even concerts to watch. And if you’re curious about it all, you’ve come to the right place because we’re bringing you with us as we eat, see, and do everything at the 2024 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival!
Festival Dates
The 2024 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival runs through November 23 this year — which means you’ve got plenty of time to eat and drink your way around the world!
That’s plenty of time for you to plan a visit to check out what this festival has to offer.
Good morning from DAY 1 of the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival!

Crowds
Crowds were surprisingly low on the morning of opening day! When we headed into the park, there weren’t too many people at the entrance.
It was pretty empty!
What really surprised us was the lack of a line at Creations Shop for the new Food & Wine Festival souvenirs!
Where is everybody?
It was a pleasant and crowd free morning.
Crowd check!

And now, on to the main event — the food!
Food and Drinks
It wouldn’t be the Food & Wine Festival without food and wine (and beer and mixed drinks), of course! We’ll be updating this page with our reviews as we eat our way around EPCOT!

Activities
There’s plenty to see and do other than just eat — like Emile’s Fromage Montage which is back for this year’s festival. With this activity, you pick up a Festival Passport, which will list some of the cheesy dishes you need to buy to get a stamp. Get all the stamps, and you can win a prize!

If you don’t want to miss a certain performance, you may want to look into booking an Eat to the Beat dining package. You can get these with advance reservations at select EPCOT restaurants, and you can also find some limited day-of dining packages at certain places when available.
