00-swan-dolphin-food-wine-classic

If there’s one event I look forward to every year, it’s the Food and Wine Classic at the Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin hotels. Each year the chefs from the hotel’s 17 award winning restaurants prepare and serve samples of their best dishes, which you can pair with amazing wine tastings from around the globe.

The event runs two nights, October 31st and November 1st and is a very affordable $90 with an advanced purchase. No theme park admission is required, but there is a fee to park.

The tasting menus for each evening have been released and they look amazing. The menus are actually slight different on Friday and Saturday, so maybe you’ll want to attend both.

Both nights: Oct 31st

  • Shula’s – Tenderloin, Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, sauce bordelaise.
  • Picabu – Taqueria – Corn Tortilla, Barbacoa of Beef, Organic Vegetables, Cheddar Cheese, Lime Wedge, Lettuce, Onion, Shaved Radish, Pico de Gallo, Assorted Hot Sauces
