Checking Out Epcot’s International Food & Wine Festival for 2023
It’s still very much summer, but the Fall Food & Wine Festival for Epcot is on. We head over to the park to check out all the latest happenings. We taste test and review a dozen entrees, and we share our thoughts on a number of returning offerings. If you’ve never been to Epcot’s premiere Food & Wine Festival, or if you only come once every couple of years, or if you are an annual pass holder, we have insights for you to help you make the best of this experience. Along with myself, my daughter Madison joins us, as well as David Zanolla of Out the Door Travel and his son Jonah. Join us as we broadcast within Epcot’s International Food & Wine Festival for 2023.

The Tastes of Epcot’s Food & Wine Festival
Here are some of the dishes we tasted today at the festival:
Retail, Scavenger Hunts, Entertainment & More
Some great things–but not so connected with the festival itself. Still, there were these:
Epcot Forever
I think it would be a big miss not to mention the evening fireworks, Epcot Forever. As a fireworks show, it impresses. If you love the music of Epcot, especially with the original Future World, then you don’t want to miss this. I’ve created my own Epcot Forever: A Tribute below. The current show doesn’t employ the kites, but it’s still a fine show, and you should check it out.
