If there’s one EPCOT tradition that food lovers anticipate all year, it’s the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. Starting August 28, 2025, this culinary celebration brings together global flavors, creative beverages, and festival-exclusive dishes that transform World Showcase into the tastiest walk in Disney World.
This year’s guide focuses on festival-exclusive offerings, but don’t overlook each pavilion’s year-round classics. Some countries, like Norway, haven’t announced any limited-time specials yet (fingers crossed), but favorites like School Bread and Kristoff’s Coffee still deserve a spot on your personal foodie tour.
Grab your passport (well, your Festival Passport) — here’s your booth-by-booth itinerary to eat your way around the world.
Mexico
Kicking off your journey in Mexico, two new items bring bold, layered flavors.
- Tostada de Carnitas: A crispy fried corn tortilla holds tender braised pork, smoky chipotle black beans, salsa ranchera, crema Mexicana, and crumbles of queso fresco — a perfect balance of crunch, spice, and creaminess.
- Strawberry-Pomegranate Margarita: A festival-ready blend of 100% agave blanco tequila, joven mezcal, pomegranate liqueur, strawberry purée, and a spicy agave kick. Sweet, smoky, and refreshing.
China
Familiar yet irresistible festival returns.
- Smoked Duck Bao Bun: Soft steamed bun filled with rich smoked duck, bright pickled cucumber, scallion, and hoisin sauce.
- Mango-Peach Bubble Tea (Non-alcoholic): Green tea with mango and peach syrups plus white boba — a sweet, chewy treat to cool you down.

From Mexico’s smoky margaritas to Canada’s creamy cheddar soup, EPCOT’s 2025 Food & Wine Festival is a culinary world tour worth savoring. Whether you stick to festival exclusives or mix in beloved year-round snacks, you’re guaranteed a memorable tasting journey.
