No-Cost Seminars

Note so far this event is not happening for 2021

If you are looking to attend one of the talks be prepared to arrive early. These seminars have been trickier to get into in recent years. With the locals flooding in and taking up all the seats, Disney had to make some changes to level out the playing fields. So now most seminars are offered at an upcharge.

If you are looking to attend one of these free seminars be sure to check the daily time’s guide.

Low-Cost Culinary Demonstrations at Food and Wine

Note so far this event is not happening for 2021

At $19 a person plus tax for these seminars you just can’t go wrong! Since these are paid you can expect that your samples are going to be much better than the freebies. You may want to consider one of these instead of sampling out at the booths, often times it’s a better value.

The schedule of the culinary demos, and advance booking info can be found on Disney’s  Food & Wine Festival Culinary Demos page.

Premium Food and Wine Seminars

Disney also has pricey seminars that are more like special events. And when I say pricey I mean it, you can expect to pay well over $100 per person. They are the perfect thing to splurge on if you are celebrating or looking to surprise a foodie on your trip.

Merchandise for 2020 Epcot Food and Wine Festival

This year the ears of the party are wine inspired! The fabric is a beautiful cork print with the different countries featured at Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival.

I, unfortunately, do not like beer but this is the coolest souvenir I have seen! You can put your bottle cap collection in the brews sign at the bottom of the picture above. Such a great way to capture memories from your Disney World trip.

Final Thoughts on Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival

If you like food or drinking you are bound to enjoy this event. My husband and I look forward to attending this event each year. It’s a great way to spend an afternoon and to try out new food and catch a free concert.

On the other hand, this event brings in loads of people and causes Epcot to be a non-stop packed house for the duration of the festival. Watch out for the weekends, when the locals drop in and make everything extra packed.
