From July 27th to November 18th, 2023, this spectacular event, presented by CORKCICLE, promises to immerse you in a one-of-a-kind gastronomic experience. Get ready for days filled with culinary delights, live entertainment, and a family-friendly atmosphere that only Disney can deliver. It's a cross-marketing concept that aligns with the trends of the new creative world, where everything intersects, and the physical, real-world experience triumphs over the online realm.

Elevating Experiences through Thoughtful Branding:

The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is far more than a culinary event. It's a magical experience that seamlessly blends global flavors with Disney's enchantment. Brace yourself to dive into a feast of delectable treats, live music, and entertainment for the entire family, all within the realm where dreams come true. The art of creating a "world of experiences" involves infusing every detail with a distinct brand signature, a curated experience, and a captivating concept. And the magic lies in how everything is interconnected.

An International Flavor Expedition at Your Fingertips:

Prepare for an international flavor expedition at the Global Marketplaces, where you can savor the most exquisite dishes from every corner of the world. But that's just the beginning – engaging treasure hunts invite you to pause and relish every detail.

Innovative Dishes for Fresh Thrills:

This year, the festival debuts with 25 Global Marketplaces, whisking you away on an unforgettable flavor journey. And here's the irresistible new twist – the Brew-Wing Lab at the Odyssey invites you to embark on a culinary adventure filled with Muppet Labs' creative concoctions. Imagine savoring traditional chicken wings and vegan options with the signature touch of Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker. Dishes like the boldly audacious Unnecessarily Spicy, Yet Extremely Tasty Scotch Bonnet Pepper-Curry Wings with Cool Cucumber Yogurt and Peanut Butter and Jelly Sticky Wings will take you by surprise.

Reimagining Tradition with a Modern Spin:

Traditional flavors blend seamlessly with innovation in dishes like the Impossible™ Buffalo Chicken Tenders with blue cheese and plant-based ranch dressing. Innovative beverages like the Pickle Milkshake and the Frozen Fusion, a blend of Twinings' pomegranate and raspberry herbal tea infused with orange ice cream molecules, offer the perfect refreshing companions for the ultimate fun experience.

Miami Flavors Infused into American Classics:

At The American Adventure, the Flavors of America beckon you to relish the exquisite Italian Hot Beef Sandwich, savor the flavorful Cioppino seafood stew, and indulge in the authentic Miami touch of Chilaquiles.
