Now, we know a lot of Disney World fans make time in their schedules to visit many of EPCOT’s festivals. The most popular, though, might be the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, which generally happens in the summer and fall.

However, did you know that there’s another food and wine festival in Disney World that doesn’t even require a park ticket? It’s the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic, and we now know when it will be held in 2026: November 20th and 21st.
That’s right: mark your calendars for November 20th and 21st to attend the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic from 5 PM to 9 PM each day. The festival is a special ticketed event at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin, where you can try special food and drinks created by the restaurants you’ll find at Swan and Dolphin properties. It’s an all-you-can-eat-and-drink kind of situation, too. So your ticket covers it all!

You can also often get discounted hotel room rates at the Swan and Dolphin hotels during the festival, too, so you might end up saving money by attending the Food & Wine Classic that weekend.
The Food & Wine Classic also includes live entertainment, seminars, and even fireworks. You can also get additional tickets for tasting and educational seminars.

The Food & Wine Classic is a great opportunity to try all kinds of great food and drinks from outside the parks. It also makes for a fun date night activity.
We’ll be keeping an eye out for more updates about the Food & Wine Classic and more, so check back with AllEars again soon to stay updated.
