Epcot International Food & Wine Festival to Begin July 15th, 2021

Hi everyone!

The Disney Parks Blog today announced that the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival would begin this year on July 15th, 2021! Note that there is no “Taste of” mentioned although the festival does look to follow a similar pattern to what we’ve experienced with festivals in the last year. The event this year runs just over 4 months, ending November 20th, 2021.

Disney says that this year’s Epcot International Food & Wine Festival will kick off with Global Marketplaces, including Canada, Greece, Germany , Hops and Barley, Appleseed Orchard and more. More marketplaces will join in as the festival continues on into the fall.  Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak will be returning and Emile’s Fromage Montage is a fun way to sample cheeses and earn a prize.

Here are a few ways families will be able to enjoy the festival!

  • Sample all sorts of delicious cheeses served in fun ways as part of Emile’s Fromage Montage – if you collect a stamp from five different Global Marketplaces, you’ll earn a prize!
  • Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak will send you on a savory scavenger hunt in search of Remy statuettes hidden all over the park.

  • Take a tasty souvenir home from the new merchandise collections, including a festival collection featuring a spirit jersey, baseball cap and so much more.
  • Listen to musical favorites performed by Voices of Liberty, Mariachi Cobre and the Jammin’ Chefs.
