This year, EPCOT’s International Food and Wine Festival, presented by CORKCICLE, is full of delicious food from 6 continents at over 30 locations. The festival’s booths and restaurants are located throughout EPCOT, predominantly around the World Showcase.
This year’s festival takes place from July 27 through November 18, 2023. Global Market booths have been added to the festival periodically since July, but now all locations are open through the end of November.

EPCOT hosts four festivals throughout the year: CORKCICLE’s International Food and Wine Festival, Festival of the Holidays, Festival of the Arts, and the Flower and Garden Festival. Each festival is known for bringing specialty merchandise and food, but no festival brings more specialty dining options than Food and Wine.
