First Bites at the 2017 Disney California Food and Wine Festival

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Laura Gilbreath shares her ratings of some of the food items at the Disney California Food and Wine Festival, which runs from March 10 through April 16 this year. The schedule has been expanded this year with culinary demonstrations and wine, beer, and spirits tastings scheduled daily. A number of Premium events were also added, including Sweet Sundays (my favorite) and Winemaker and Brew Master dinners. There are new Festival Marketplaces and new entertainment offerings. With all of the new events the Festival has expanded into new locations around Paradise Bay and Hollywood Land such as Paradise Park and Paradise Gardens, The Vineyard Room, and Stage 17.

Sunday – January 15, Star Wars Half Marathon We’d scheduled a wakeup call for 4:00 – but we never got it.
