Epcot’s World Showcase Wine Walk has been something of a hidden gem for many years.

This program allowed guests to enjoy six pours of wine by stopping at three designated locations in World Showcase — the Germany Pavilion’s Weinkeller, Italy’s La Bottega Italia, and France’s Aux Vins de France — offering two pours each for a fixed price.

Over the years, though, it’s gone from a GREAT deal at $20, to an OK deal at $32. However, during our time today in Epcot, we learned from Cast Members that the wine walk may have been discontinued.
You can still try a variety of wines. For instance, at the Weinkeller, you can still try a Red or White Wine Flight featuring German pours.

And you should still find Flights in the previously participating country pavilions.

France has a Champagne Flight available.

Additionally, the acrylic wine glasses that were included over the past couple of years with the Wine Walk are still available for purchase.

But Wine Walks were not able to be purchased today, and it was the understanding of the Cast Members we spoke with that there are no current plans to bring the Wine Walk back. Guests who have already purchased the Wine Walk, but not finished it, can still receive their pours as tracked by the Wine Walk Passport received upon purchasing.
We don’t know if this is long-term, short-term, or permanent. Stay tuned to the DFB newsletter for updates.

I found the ideas of the wine walk awesome. The problem is the execution. The wines just weren’t that great. This could have lead to lack of interest and thus a discontinuation.
That’s a huge let down! I was looking forward to making that part of my trip! My wife and I didn’t know that was an option on our last trip. Only found out about the tour through your videos. Hope there is enough outcry to bring it back, but from the description of the work-around, it’s far more profitable for the venues not to support the tour.
It’s too expensive
I dont like this change at all. the Wine Walk was something my husband and I always did each trip since his first trip when we were just dating. we have an unfinished wine walk, as we weren’t feeling well from the heat the last trip, we’ll see if we can finish them when we go next in March.
As of today, the wine walks were being sold.
