With the 2018 Epcot Food and Wine Festival kicking off very soon (it runs from August 30th through November 12th!), there is all sorts of fun foodie stuff to share!
In case you missed it, we just shared some more details on the new Disney Du Jour Dance Party coming to the Festival this year. And now, we have some news on another Special Event coming to the Festival this year!
This one is an exclusive event just for D23 Gold Members! The D23 Sip & Stroll event is returning to the Food and Wine Festival on October 22, 2018. And this year, D23 is partnering with Walt Disney Imagineering for a Food & Wine chat inside the Spaceship Earth VIP Lounge to begin the event. And this will also offer guests the opportunity to taste Cast Member and fan-favorite items from the Festival!
Attendees will also get a $25 gift card to check out the eats and drinks at the Festival’s Food Booths. Guests will also enjoy reserved seating for the evening’s first Eat to the Beat Concert.
A dessert reception with specialty offerings will take place in the Italy pavilion to wrap up the evening — and, of course, to enjoy the evening’s showing of IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth! Finally, guests will also receive the traditional exclusive gift to commemorate the 2018 Epcot Food and Wine Festival.
The D23 Sip & Stroll costs $130 per person (plus a $7 processing fee). D23 Gold and Gold Family Members may reserve a ticket for themselves and one guest. Tickets go on sale Wednesday, August 22 at 1:00 PM ET/10:00 AM PT at the D23 website.
