The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is almost here! This fan-favorite festival starts on August 27th and runs through November 21st, and includes so much amazing food, drinks, and entertainment.
Emile’s Fromage Montage Completer Prize
Every year, one of our favorite parts of the festival is Emile’s Fromage Montage cheese crawl. However, it looks like this crawl might be more difficult than in years past.
Emile’s Fromage Montage is a cheese crawl throughout the festival themed to Remy’s brother Emile from Ratatouille. To participate in this crawl, all you need to do is grab a free Food & Wine Festival Passport on your way in. This will list all of the cheese items eligible for the crawl, and whenever you pick one up, just ask the Cast Member to stamp your Passport.

Once you’ve collected five stamps, you can visit the Shimmering Sips food booth to get a free festival treat. This crawl does not need to be completed in a single day; you can complete it across multiple days, and you don’t even need to get five different items. You could get the same item five different times, and that would still count for the crawl.

If you love cheese and are planning on trying lots of items around the festival, then participating in the crawl is a no-brainer and an amazing way to get a free item while visiting the festival!

However, when we were looking at the list of participating items for the crawl, we noticed that a lot of them were at booths that had a delayed opening. In fact, about half of the items are not available at the very start of the festival.

So six out of the fourteen items available for the crawl will be opening later than the rest of the festival, which means if you are visiting in the first few weeks, you will have fewer options to complete the crawl.
Food & Wine Festival Booth
Eight items on the crawl are available for the entire duration of the festival, so you’ll still be able to complete Emile’s Fromage Montage; you may just be more limited in options depending on when you visit. So, if you are visiting at the very start of the festival, keep in mind that several booths and food items will not be available until later, and make sure to plan what you want to try in advance so you know if it will be available on your trip!

We were planning to do Emile’s Fromage Montage but we are visiting at the start of the festival so we might not finish it. We will just have to plan to attend again.
