Special Events at the 2026 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival require a significant extra cost and advance tickets.

However, these events can be some of the most memorable of your Festival experience. In the past, we’ve enjoyed Wine Pairing in Morocco, Beer and Food Pairing in Italy, Tequila Pairing in Mexico, and many more!

Please note: all special events do require separate EPCOT admission, in addition to the purchase of a ticket. We’ll have all the coverage and information you need right here on Disney Food Blog!
