Get ready to discover the beauty of California with the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival, returning once again to Disneyland Resort February 28 through April 21! This popular festival features the best of the west coast with unforgettable cuisine, beverages, and special events that you won’t want to miss. Take part in culinary demonstrations, get the kids involved with our Jr. Chef cooking event, or even enjoy wine, beer, and mixology education and tasting seminars throughout the duration of the festival.
There’s something new to do around every corner, and of course, we can’t forget about the FOOD! Scattered around Disney California Adventure Park, you’ll find a variety of marketplaces with menus featuring everything from hand-selected wines and craft beers to plant-based dishes, regional recipes, and more that will delight your taste buds. And in addition, several restaurants, including Paradise Garden Grill and even several restaurants at the Downtown Disney District, are also joining in on the fun with special offerings available only during the festival.
While you’re wandering the festival, you’ll definitely want to grab a Festival Tasting Passport, which contains every menu throughout the marketplaces as well as important information about events, exclusive merchandise, and more. You also have the option of purchasing a Sip and Savor Pass! This special pass allows you to explore your way through the festival with a souvenir lanyard and credential with eight pull-off tabs. Each of these tabs is a coupon that can be redeemed for select food and beverage offerings at festival locations (excluding alcohol and souvenir items). Use them all at once spread out over a single visit, or save your pass and come back on multiple days to make the fun last even longer! The Sip and Savor Pass can be purchased at Elias & Co., Festival Gifts and Marketplaces, Kingswell Camera Shop, Rushin’ River Outfitters, Seaside Souvenirs, the Sip and Savor Cart, and the Studio Store in Hollywood Land.
With that, below is your official Foodie Guide to the 2020 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival! For more information on the festival, details on special events, reservations, tickets, and more, visit the Disneyland Resort website. And at various quick-service restaurants throughout the park, be sure to check out the Disneyland app to mobile order select items, skip the lines, and get straight to snackin’!
