While the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival may be what comes to mind when you think of Food & Wine in Disney World, there is also another Food & Wine event that happens in Disney World! The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic will be returning in 2026 for its 17th year!


2025 Food and Wine Classic


The annual event is two days of gourmet cuisine from award-winning chefs, paired with fine wines, beers, and spirits from around the world. In addition to the delicious food and drinks, the event also features live entertainment, seminars, and fireworks.

The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin just announced the dates for the 2026 event, so mark your calendars now if you want to attend. This year, the Food & Wine Classic will take place on November 20th and 21st, from 5 PM until 9 PM each day. There will also be tickets available for tastings and educational seminars.


Food & Wine Classic


A ticket to the Food & Wine Classic gets you unlimited food and drinks from themed areas across the Swan & Dolphin Causeway. You will be able to sample food from some of the hotel’s iconic restaurants like Bourbon Steak, Il Mulino, Kimonos, Amare, and more. Plus, there are additional booths offering even more food and drink options.


Pineapple Upside Down Cake with Ice Cream


During last year’s Food & Wine Classic, some of our favorite dishes included the Slow Braised Wagyu Beef Short Rib with Celery Root Espuma and Shallot Marmalade from Bourbon Steak, Chicken Wings from the Beer Garden, the Pineapple Upside Down Cake with Ice Cream from the Beer Garden, and the Shu Mein from Chinatown. However, there is LOTS of food to be enjoyed. Last year, there were 17 stands offering more than 45 dishes.
