FIRST LOOK: 2012 Epcot’s International Food & Wine Festival Merchandise

‘Signature’ Artwork by Noah

Steven Miller of Disney Parks Blog just gave a preview of this year’s Epcot International Food & Wine Festival merch! As you all know I am a huge fan of the festival and each year I wait for it to come around like a kid at Christmas. I really think the design of this year’s signature pieces are truly beautiful.  This is an actual painting, not a photograph by the wonderfully talented Noah. He is an amazing artist and I have some of his prints hanging in my home. I had the pleasure of meeting him at the D23 Expo last year. I love the wine bottles and glasses set up on a table like a party and conversations are just beginning. It’s really simplistic and refined.  I can’t wait to add some of these cool pieces to my kitchen. Oh, and I have to grab one of the limited edition vinyls! Love that it is Tony from “Lady and the Tramp’!  You can find all of the merchandise at the  Festival Center and at select locations in Epcot when Food & Wine returns on September 28.
