2025 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival Guide
The Epcot International Food and Wine Festival returns from August 28 to November 22, 2025. This year’s festival features over 35 global marketplaces (food booths), the Eat to the Beat Concert Series, two popular scavenger hunts, Emile’s Fromage Montage, and much more!
To help you prepare, we’ve created this exclusive guide for the 2025 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. It features everything that has been announced to date and provides tips on how to prepare. With so much extra to do and eat in the park, it can feel a little overwhelming. The good thing is that you can participate in the festival as much or as little as you like. We typically like to pick out a few must-try items and enjoy them when time allows. So, even if you’re a serious foodie, don’t feel like you have to try everything. Oh, and if you’re visiting over long weekends or the busy Fall break period, don’t be surprised if you find long lines at some of the booths. Guests flock to Epcot to experience this annual culinary event.

2025 Global Marketplaces
Disney has announced that the 2025 Festival will have over 35 global marketplaces! While food is a strong point at each of Epcot’s festivals, it’s the central focus of the International Food and Wine Festival. This festival offers more food and beverage options than any other. We’ll provide a list of this year’s food booths along with a link to this year’s foodie guide here as soon as they’re announced!
We anticipate this information being available in early August.
The Eat to the Beat Concert Series
This popular concert series is held each evening of the Food and Wine Festival in the America Gardens Theater. We now have the lineup for the 2025 Eat to the Beat Concert Series at Epcot.

Scavenger Hunts
Epcot’s International Food and Wine Festival offers the following two scavenger hunts.
- Remy’s Ratatouille Hide and Squeak (August 28 through End of Festival)
- Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit (Limited-Time Starting September 2nd)
We almost always purchase a scavenger hunt during each festival, and think it’s a wonderful way for children to feel like they’re participating while touring the World Showcase. We have the details below on how to purchase and complete both scavenger hunts in 2025.
2 Popular Scavenger Hunts Are Returning to the 2025 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival
Emile’s Fromage Montage
Pick up a Festival Passport once you arrive at Epcot to complete this cheesy journey. You’ll find pages dedicated to Emile’s Fromage Montage inside the passport. Purchase 5 of the items listed, collect the stamps in your passport at the time of purchase, and then return the passport to Shimmering Sips Marketplace for a specialty item that’s unique to the Food and Wine Festival.
We’ll add more details here when Disney finalizes the announcements for 2025.
Living with the Land
This popular attraction that sits at the base of the Land Pavilion offers seasonal themed displays that showcase ingredients used during the Epcot Food and Wine Festival. We love this attraction and always enjoy the special overlays it receives for each festival.
