It’s REALLY time to start planning your autumn trip to Walt Disney World now! Because not only have the dates been announced for the 2019 Epcot Food and Wine Festival, but new menu items have been revealed for another favorite fall event — the 2019 Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic!
Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic
The 10th Annual Food and Wine Classic will take place on Friday, November 8, and Saturday, November 9, 2019. And the central attraction of the Classic is the more than 40 tasting stations featuring dishes from the resort’s 17 restaurants and lounges as well as more than 30 wineries on the Causeway. Check out the Menus page for an idea of what you can expect!

We’ve got a full rundown of the 2019 event from the original info release in February. But today, we’re sharing a few new items which have been added to the menus (which you can see in full here)!
New Menu Items
Please note: since the event takes place over two nights, menu selections differ on Friday and Saturday evening at the Tasting Stations.
While there is still more to see on our full menus page, among the new items on Friday evening, be on the lookout for the Barbacoa Beef Taco with ancho Chile braised beef, minced red onion, lime wedge, lime- cilantro and “chimichurri” sauce from Picabu, and a Vegetarian Rice Bowl with roasted vegetables, seasoned sushi rice, and tempura crunch from Cabana Bar and Beach Club.

thnkyou for sharing. Seems Nice place. love to visit.
Can you tell me if there are limited tickets to the causeway and if they normally sell out? We booked our Food and Wine Festival trip so that we can attend the Swan and Dolphin classic also and we’re trying to spread the cost of special events over a few months. I just don’t want to wait to purchase our causeway tickets to find they’re sold out. Thanks.
Tricia, that’s a tough call. AJ tells me that she has seen them sell out, but it doesn’t commonly sell out. So there’s just no way to know if waiting will work or not. Sorry and good luck!
