8 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival Snacks You’ll Regret Not Trying

Can you believe we’re nearly at the halfway point of 2024? That just means we’re closer to the 2024 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival!

It’s no secret we’re OBSESSED with EPCOT festivals, and the Food & Wine Festival is no exception! Although we haven’t even wrapped up the 2024 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, we can’t help but feel giddy about EPCOT’s next celebration!

Held this year from August 29th through November 23rd, 2024, the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival has yet to release an official menu for the booths, but there are some items we think will make a return that you HAVE to try!

ROASTED LAMB CHOP (AUSTRALIA)

We are BIG fans of the Roasted Lamb Chop with Mint Pesto and Potato Crunchies in Australia.

Last year, our lamb was very tender and flavorful. The mint pesto added a positive complexity to the meat and if it returns in 2024, we hope it can live up to the hype!

ADOBO YUCA FRIES (THE FRY BASKET)

Our favorite thing at the Fry Basket booth in years past has easily been the Adobo Yuca Fries!

Adobo Yuca Fries

These fries are served with garlic-cilantro aïoli and taste like the best garlic bread you’ve ever had. We will never pass up an opportunity to grab these bad boys!

WARM RACLETTE SWISS CHEESE (THE ALPS)

The cheesy goodness found in The Alps is called the Warm Raclette Swiss Cheese. We have been especially fond of it served with Alpine Ham, Baby Potatoes, Cornichons, and a Baguette. 

You definitely aren’t shorted melted cheese and it serves as a great dip! The ham went well with the cheese and potatoes and added a zingy vinegar flavor. In short, this is an absolute Festival staple.

TERIYAKI CHICKEN BUN (JAPAN)

Over in Japan, the Teriyaki Chicken Bun is a must-try!

Made with chicken, vegetables, and teriyaki sauce wrapped in a bao bun, the ratio was PERFECT. The teriyaki sauce added a nice sweetness and we really think this is a snack that we hope will have a LONG career at the Festival!

FILET MIGNON (CANADA)

It’s kind of crazy that you can get a Filet Mignon at a Festival booth in EPCOT, but alas, it’s very real!

It is SOOO good each year it’s featured! The steak comes with mushrooms, Boursin Black Truffle & Sea Salt mashed potatoes, and a Boursin Black Truffle & Sea Salt butter — and it’s as good as it sounds. Rich, tender, earthy, and buttery, this dish is special.

BRAISED BEEF POUTINE (REFRESHMENT PORT)

There’s no way we weren’t going to recommend a poutine dish! The Braised Beef Poutine at Refreshment Port features French Fries with braised beef, Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese sauce, cheese curds, crumbled Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs, and gherkin relish.

Cheesy, tender, and deliciously herby, this snack looks a mess but tastes amazing!

FRESHLY BAKED CARROT CAKE (FLAVORS OF AMERICA)

The Flavors of America booth usually has the tasty Freshly Baked Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Icing. 

This cake tasted like an ode to fall. It was more like a spice cake and the cream cheese really balanced the dessert out. If you’re craving fall vibes, this is the treat for you!

WARM CHOCOLATE PUDDING CAKE (IRELAND)

Bringing us home is the Warm Chocolate Pudding Cake in Ireland. This must-try cake is served with Irish Cream Liqueur Custard. YUM!

Fudgy, chocolatey, and just boozy enough, this cake is an addictive dessert and one we hope makes an appearance in 2024!
