What Is the Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic 2026?
Think of it as EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival — but more intimate and centered around one of Walt Disney World’s premier hotel destinations. The Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic is an outdoor street party that takes over the hotel’s causeway for two nights each fall. Your ticket covers unlimited food and beverage tastings for the night you attend.
Last year’s 16th annual event featured over 45 dishes and more than 170 beverages across both nights. Full 2026 menus have not been released yet, but expect the same high quality from one of the best food programs at Walt Disney World.
Restaurants and Chefs at the 2026 Event
The Swan and Dolphin’s food and beverage program includes nearly 30 certified wine sommeliers and 1,400 wine selections. Tastings come from 23 restaurants and lounges including Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina, Todd English’s bluezoo, Il Mulino New York Trattoria, and Rosa Mexicano. Celebrity chefs Todd English and Michael Mina are both scheduled to appear, plus live musical entertainment throughout the evening.
