Disneyland's Food & Wine Fest Kicks Off

The popular festival runs through April 27, 2026, taking place in Disney California Adventure Park. Beyond the marketplace kiosks, select restaurants in Downtown Disney will also offer special festival menu items. This year's event features eight festival marketplaces with themes like "Garlic Kissed" and "LA Style." Guests can purchase a "Sip and Savor Pass" with either four or eight tabs to redeem for select food and non-alcoholic beverages at these locations. While many items are new, some returning fan-favorites include the Junior LA Street Dog and the Asian Street Burrito. The festival celebrates the bounty of California, with a focus on fresh ingredients and diverse culinary offerings. The Food & Wine Festival first launched at Disney California Adventure in 2006. It ran for several years before going on a hiatus from 2011 to 2015 due to major construction and park expansions. In addition to food, the festival includes beverage education seminars with expert winemakers and mixologists on weekends. Complimentary culinary demonstrations from local and visiting chefs are also held on the Hollywood Backlot Stage. As part of the festival, the popular attraction "Soarin' Over California" makes its return for a limited time, replacing the usual "Soarin' Around the World" version. Live entertainment also includes "Cookin' with the Jammin' Chefs," featuring Disney characters.
