Epcot Food & Wine Festival
The 15th annual Epcot Food & Wine Festival begins at Walt Disney World Resort on 1st October and runs through to 14th November this year. The event is always popular and gives guests the chance to sample a unique global food and wine tasting as they wander around World Showcase.
All told, the walk is approximately 1.3 miles and visitors can sample the cuisine, culture and entertainment of more than a dozen countries as they stroll around the 40 acre lagoon. In addition, booths are set up on the way so the dozen countries permanently housed at Epcot quickly becomes 25 international marketplaces where you can enjoy sampling different foods, wines and beers.
In 2010 celebrity chefs will team with winemakers and brew masters from around the world to celebrate the 15th year of the event. There will be three new testing marketplaces in Belgium, South Korea and Singapore as well as new offerings from Argentina, Chile, Poland, South Africa, Puerto Rico, Australia, the US, Spain and several others. Among the celebrity chefs taking part will be Warren Brown, Cat Cora and Todd English (pictured above).
On the entertainment front you’ll find improv performances along the promenade, acrobatics and joyful music. There will be “Eat to the Beat!” concerts at the America gardens Theatre and scheduled to appear are acts like Sugar Ray, Air Supply, Howard Jones, 38 Special, Roger Hodgson (Supertramp fame), Kool and the Gang, Taylor Hicks, Sister Hazel, Expose, Night Ranger, Billy Ocean (pictured above), Starship, Boys II Men, Jon Secada, Hanson and Rick Springfield. Kicking the festival off on 1st October is Taylor Dayne while bringing the curtain down on 14 November is Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.
It promises to be a great time… care to join us?
