The annual gastronomic festival at Disney - more specifically at EPCOT - already dates back to 2025! And if you're gonna be in town between August and November, you need to put the event on your screenplay!
O EPCOT Food & Wine Festival 2025 is undoubtedly one of the most expected events of the year and brings together flavors from all over the world – and our Brazil has guaranteed presence once again!
This year, the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival 2025 is scheduled to happen between the days 28 August to November 22, 2025. And the best: already included in the park regular ticket!
Over 35 kiosks from different countries will be spread throughout the World Showcase featuring typical foods and drinks from their regions. It's an event I, like taurine, love! rsrs
It is the opportunity to live a unique experience that goes far beyond gastronomy. That is, it's the chance to meet new cultures, experience different dishes, enjoy amazing shows and still live Disney magic in a completely interactive and fun way.
What is the EPCOT gastronomic festival?
EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is an annual event that takes place at EPCOT and one of Disney's most anticipated. During the almost three months of festival, you can explore a variety of dishes and drinks as well as have interactive experiences such as the Emile’s Fromage Montage (I'll talk about it down below).
In addition, the festival offers musical performances with renowned artists, exclusive tasting experiences, special activities for children and more.
Brazil marks presence with cheese bread
The return of Brazil is already confirmed this year and it is one of the countries that most attract the attention of visitors. Seriously, it's amazing how crazy gringos go with Brazilian dishes! And it's no wonder, right?
One of the highlights of previous years and that is already confirmed to return this year is our darling Cheese bread.
Disney has not officially announced the relationship of countries and dishes that will be present during the festival, but keep an eye out for the blog that I will soon bring everything to you.
In previous years, Brazil has participated with authentic dishes of our cuisine, such as feijoada, picinha with mandioquinha puree, cocada with sweet milk, as well as drinks such as frozen caipirinha and Xingu Black beer.
For those who are on vacation and already miss our little Brazilian food, it is worth going through the stand and honoring our country.
The pavilion menu, by the way, is usually one of the most praised of the event and is very dear both to Brazilian tourists and to foreigners, who love to experience the unique flavors of our cuisine. No doubt an ideal place for those who are homesick or want to present our culture to other travelers.
It is worth remembering that the festival offers signs on food restrictions, including options gluten-free, vegetarian and alcohol-free, which makes the event even more accessible.
Special shows and experiences in addition to gastronomy
Another highlight of EPCOT Food & Wine Festival 2025 It's the show show Eat to the Beat Concert Series. Big names of the song perform on the stage of the America Gardens Theatre on the United States pavilion. And yes — these shows are included in the park ticket!
For those who want to ensure a good place in the show and still enjoy a good dinner, the festival offers the Eat to the Beat Dining Package, which unites gastronomic experience with seat reserved for the show.
As soon as Disney announces the artists' relationship I will perform at the event, I will also bring you here on the blog!
Emile’s Fromage Montage: unique experience for those who like cheese
Cheese lovers cannot miss the Emile’s Fromage Montage, a special experience within the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival.
Inspired by the character Emile, by Ratatouille, this route allows visitors to experience different cheese-based dishes in various kiosks of the festival.
When you arrive at EPCOT, you remove your guide where you will find a list of participating dishes. Then you choose five of these dishes available and register your journey with stamps in the respective kiosks. At the end, by completing the five stamps, you take your passport to the Shimmering Sips kiosk and switch to an exclusive dessert.
Remy's Hide: A Fun Treasure Hunt
And don't think it's over! Disney's 2025 gastronomic festival at EPCOT still brings other fun activities to the whole family. One of them is the Remy’s Hide & Squeak Scavenger Hunt, an interactive and fun experience for visitors of all ages. It's a treasure hunt inspired by the lovely Remy from the movie Ratatouille.
To participate, you need to purchase a map and stickers in selected shops of the park. With the map in hand, visitors travel the World Showcase flags and must find small mouse statues hidden in different countries. He's holding essential ingredients for his famous ratatouille recipe.
Every time you find a statue, just paste the corresponding sticker onto the map.
Treasure hunting has no time limit, allowing participants to explore the park at their own pace. By completing the challenge and filling the map with all the stickers, visitors can exchange it for a special prize, making the experience even more memorable.
O Remy's Hide & Squeak Scavenger Hunt is perfect for children who are learning about different foods, but it is also a fun activity for adults who want to add a playful touch to the festival visit.
Besides being a great way to explore EPCOT, this interactive adventure encourages observation and discovery of details hidden by the park.
