It’s my favorite time of the year again! Epcot International Food & Wine Festival is running Sept 19-Nov 10 this year. A record 53 days. There are 25 unique marketplaces filled with food and beverage pairings to heighten your foodie palate. This year there are two new kiosks, Patagonia and Farm Fresh. I like the idea for new tastings as well as our favorites that return year after year. Let us know what dishes you are excited to try! Don’t forget to grab your passport at the Festival Center and Bon Appetit!
