The Causeway is the central attraction at the Food and Wine Classic. Here you’ll find more than 60 tasting stations serving dishes from the resort’s 18 restaurants and lounges, along with more than 30 wineries serving wines from around the world!

Chinatown and Carnival Corner

In addition to the Causeway tasting booths, the Food and Wine Classic also features two additional areas – Chinatown and Carnival Corner.

At Carnival Corner guests can nosh on dressed up carnival and fair food. In past years we’ve LOVED the Hand Dipped Corn Dogs, Kettle Corn, and Funnel Cakes. We can’t wait to see if these fun favorites return next year.

Chinatown joined the Food and Wine Classic in 2016 and the food is incredible.

The Crispy Duck on a Steamed Bun was a must-eat at the 2017 festival!

The Beer Garden

At the Beer Garden you’ll find lots of craft beers and cider, from local and national breweries.

The Beer Garden also serves up tasty dishes, like Soft Pretzels, Jager Schnitzel, and Nürnberger Sausages.

The Beer Garden is offered as an add-on to your Causeway Ticket for an additional cost.

Seminars

The Food and Wine Classic Seminars offer participants an immersive opportunity to delve deeper into the crafting of beverages, food and beverage pairing, and cooking demos.

In 2018 there will be 11 Seminars offered including Wine Blending, Craft Cocktails, the Fine Art of Sushi and Sake, and more.
