NEWS: Epcot Int’l Food & Wine Festival Fresh For 2013

in Food & Drink, Happenings on 05/13/13

Wine Cheese & Thou

It’s almost that time of year again, that’s right Epcot International Food and Wine Festival. Disney released some new information about the festival now in its 18th year from Sept. 27-Nov. 11, 2013 at Walt Disney World Resort.

What’s new…

A new kiosk featuring the country of Scotland.

Brazil kiosks returns after a year hiatus with a new menu.

Nightly Eat to the Beat concerts will be back and five bands will make their festival debut this year.

Ocean Spray Cranberry Bog will return for a third year.

More celebrity chefs

I am looking forward to another year of culinary goodness. The idea of a new kiosk and added musical acts is a great way to keep the party going. This year I will be returning to cook it up with the retro rad girl herself, Chef Emily Ellyn for her Kitchen Memories luncheon. It was an epic experience and we are totally excited to be there once again!

Here is Disney’s official release….

Fresh for 2013:

Brazil

 

New marketplace debuts; favorites return -Traditional flavors with a twist will pair with beers, meads and Scotch at the new Scotland Marketplace designed by Walt Disney Imagineering.  Scottish officials were so impressed with the hit Disney film, “Brave,” that they contacted festival planners about participating in this year’s festival.  The Brazil Marketplace returns by popular demand with an exciting new menu following a one-year hiatus.  Hawai’i is back with its flavorful Kalua Pork Slider, and Terra, which debuted last year, returns with vegan favorite Trick’n Chicken Curry.
