The Epcot International Food & Wine Festival is an annual family tradition. This year was even more special since Epcot was celebrating the 20th anniversary of the festival. To celebrate the anniversary, The Chew filmed a week of their show from the festival and Epcot additional tasting booths for featuring elegant The Chew tastings.
This year we not only attending the opening day, but also enjoyed two other visits to the festival. One of our visits even included pouring rain, as you can see in some of the photos, but that can’t stop the fun when you’re at Epcot, right? There are so many tasting options that I would highly recommend at least two visits to the festival, to enjoy all the options available.
After enjoying the many tasting opportunities, or even if you want to take a bit of a break, check out the many cooking and wine demonstrations at The Festival Center and the Eat to the Beat Concert Series during to enhance your festival experience.
