Sharing my reviews on the Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival 2019!  Get your tastebuds ready, the food is amazing as always.  There’s something for everyone!

The 2019 Food and Wine Festival runs March 1 through April 23rd!  It is such a great time for foodies, so many delicious small plates to sample.  Make sure to grab your Tasting Passport at any of the Marketplaces that will help you map our your food choices!

The Food and Wine Festival Sip and Savor Pass

Sip and Savor Passes provide an opportunity to sample imaginative menu selections made with fresh California-grown delicacies and locally sourced produce. Guests can continue tasting their way around the Festival with an impressive array of craft beers, boutique wines and specialty cocktails designed to perfectly complement each delish dish.

Each Sip and Savor Pass is $54 (including tax) and consists of a commemorative credential plus 8 coupons redeemable for eligible food and beverage offerings (excluding alcohol and souvenir items).  Be sure NOT to rip off your coupons until you get up to the register so the CM can see.  They told us that at each Marketplace.

Sip and Savor Passes are available at the Festival Welcome Center, Festival Marketplaces, Festival Gifts and Artist Corner, Elias & Co., Seaside Souvenirs, Sip and Savor Cart, Trolley Treats and the Studio Store in Hollywood Land.  For more information see HERE.
