Welcome to planDisney, Caleb! I am so glad you found us to ask your question about one of my favorite festivals.
The
International Food & Wine Festival at EPCOT has been held each year in the fall since 1996. Each year, it seems to get just a little bit longer, allowing even more guests a chance to experience the delicious and unique flavors that are available.
In 2021, the festival dates were July 15 to November 20. This is an earlier start date than ever before! As a bonus, many of the booths that were scheduled to open up on October 1 actually opened earlier, much to the delight of my son. We were at Walt Disney World at the end of September, and he had an extensive list of things to eat. He was pleasantly surprised to find that he could get most of them earlier than planned.
The
Disney Parks Blog is a great resource for all things regarding the International Food & Wine Festival. They are usually the first to know the dates and ALL the great things to eat. The dates for 2022 will probably be released in the Spring (this year’s Disney Parks Blog article was dated March 31).
I hope your plans work out so you can experience this fantastic foodie feasting festival with your wife!
Happy Traveling (& eating),
Tracy
