As you know, I got the chance to speak with Marianne Hunnel, Area Manager, Event Content Development for the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival, and I heard a few fun tidbits about the 2011 Epcot Food and Wine Festival that I can’t wait to share with you!

This year, with mixology being a undeniable trend, Disney has focused on bringing some experts in the field together to conduct seminars on the topic!

Nightly at 6pm, a mixology seminar will commence in the Festival Welcome Center, featuring knowledgeable speakers and one-of-a-kind spirits, cordials, and more! Guests will have the chance to begin their evening at the Festival in style with a “happy hour” like none other!

We’ll be standing by to deliver more details to you when we get them! Until then, keep 6pm open!

As always, all events are subject to change.
