Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival
9 September | Corrie Krpejs
I was so excited to find out that our trip dates to Disneyland Resort in California would be during the popular California Adventure Food & Wine Festival. This festival takes place in early Spring, and is included in your purchase of a ticket to Disney’s California Adventure Park.
Featuring California inspired food, marketplaces, beer garden, culinary demonstrations, live music and entertainment. So here are a few tips to help you improve your time while at the California Adventure Food & Wine Festival.
- Do your research.
Marketplace menus will be released prior to the Festival start date. So go ahead and start picking out your favorites! - Purchase a Sip and Savor Pass.
This pass (comes as a convenient lanyard) allows guests to try 8 food items or non-alcoholic drinks. In 2022 it cost me around $57 dollars and it was the perfect way for my husband and I to try various treats. Most tasting portions cost around $6-$8 so it can help to save some money. - Pick up a Tasting Passport.
These booklets include a map and list of all the food and drink options at each festival marketplace. - Be prepared for long lines.
They do the best they can at moving the cashier/pick-up food lines as quickly as possible. But be prepared for longer lines during the weekends and at night. Arrive early! - Sign up for Seminars ahead of time.
These are super popular and seating is limited. Reservations are required so be sure to sign up early. You can enjoy Wine, Beer and Mixology Seminars!
