Next, there’s some new dish destinations that you’re sure to love. The Donut Box and Test Track Cool Wash, both are opening on October 1st. At the Donut Box, taste delectable donuts and doughnut-inspired dishes, such as the Sweet Corn Fritter or the Strawberry-dusted Yeast Donut Holes. Don’t forget to wash them down with one of the signature beverages. Choose the Black and White Coffee Cocktail or the Central 28 Beer Company Boston Creme Donut Ale. At Test Track Cool Wash, hosted by Coca Cola, retrieve an ice-cold Coca-Cola Orange Vanilla mixed with St. Petersburg gin, or treat yourself to a Coca-Cola slushie in one of the many assorted flavors. 

Additionally, a few fun new things are coming to the festival. First is Emile’s Fromage Montage. A cheese-tasting adventure straight out of the world of Ratatouille, hosted by Chef Remy the Rat’s brother, Emile. To play, simply taste five different dishes listed on the Emile’s Fromage Montage menu in the back of your festival passport. Collect five stamps from each vendor you bought your delicious cheesy dish and you’re all done! When you complete the montage, you win big with a complimentary cheesecake from Shimmering Sips. Also, the Eat to the Beat concert series is back in a big way. Artists like Boyz II Men, Hanson, and the Plain White T’s will be playing, and you won’t want to miss these incredible performances! 

How Much is the Food and Wine Festival at Epcot?

Lastly, let’s chat about some of my personal favorite dishes. At Flavors From Fire, located in Future World West, some of the most delicious savory plates are hiding out. Incredible eats such as the Steakhouse Blended Burger ($5.25),the Smoked Corned Beef ($5.25), and the Charred Chimichurri Skirt Steak ($7.00) are easily great enough to make my Top Ten list of good food at the festival, but when paired with the specialty brew, Bell’s Brewery Porter ($4.50), it’s no contest: these meals easily make it to the #1 spot.
