FULL GUIDE to the 2026 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival

It’s finally time for one of our favorite Disneyland Resort festivals of the year — the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival!

This year’s festival runs from March 6th through April 27th, but we got a special surprise yesterday — the festival soft opened! This means that some of the offerings were available, and you know we dove in to check out all we could. And what’s left? Don’t worry, we’re back today to check it ALL out to help you plan your vacation!

Overview

Throughout this festival, you’ll be able to visit multiple different food booths throughout the park to try out festival-exclusive offerings, but don’t forget to check the year-round restaurants to check out their festival menu options as well!

Additionally, you’ll find live entertainment, culinary demonstrations and seminars, check out tons of merchandise only available during the festival, and so much more. If you’re heading to the park with the intention of checking out the festival, but have never been before or don’t know where to start, it can feel pretty overwhelming. That’s why we’re here to help!

Food

There are dozens upon dozens of options to experience during the festival, and it can be hard to narrow it down to what’s at the top of your list. That’s why we make it our mission to try out as much of what the festival has to offer as possible, so that you know what’s worth your money, and what you may want to skip. We got to try a few items during the soft open, but plenty more are on our list to review today!
