Starting on July 15, Epcot will be offering guests a taste around six continents. Although Antarctica might be the uncharted food culinary adventure, this year’s food festival encourages guests to savor the flavors from around the globe, not just drink around the world.
While many festival favorites will always make an appearance, guests are always looking for the new bites. With several new Food and Wine festival marketplaces on the platter, guests will start salivating over the flavorful food that will be offered.

The new Food and Wine Festival marketplaces include: Brew-Wing at the Epcot Experience, The Noodle Exchange, Rotunda Bistro, The Swanky Saucy Swine, The Noodle Exchange, Tangierine Café: Flavors of the Medina. Also, opening on October 1, the new Food and Wine marketplaces include Kenya, Lobster Landing, and Mac & Eats.
Looking at this long list, the food flavors are both bold and approachable. From fan favorites of chicken wings to African bites from Kenya, guests need to be willing to take on that culinary adventure. While completing that food passport might need several trips, the reality is that the return visits will satisfy those food cravings.
Given that the festival runs a total of 129 days, it seems that one visit will not be enough this year. Plus, CORKCICLE is sponsoring this year’s event, which means that guests might be keeping the food celebration going beyond the park’s turnstile.
