Sommerfest

The 2026 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival has officially opened, and it has a LOT to offer. There are plenty of food booths with tasty items, merchandise items to grab (of course), and even concerts to watch. But don’t let it overwhelm you; we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know. And now we’re heading Sommerfest in the Germany Pavilion to check out some Festival items!

Menu

Over at the Sommerfest, you’ll find two special Food & Wine Festival items this year.

Returning this year is the savory Zwiebelkuchen, a German Onion Cake with Caramelized Onions, Bacon, Herbs, and a Savory Custard. And new for 2026 is a Cinnamon Pretzel Cold Brew coffee.

Returning to the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival again this year is the Zwiebelkuchen, a German Onion Cake with Caramelized Onions, Bacon, Herbs, and a Savory Custard for $9.79.

Zwiebelkuchen

The Zwiebelkuchen is filled with loads of caramelized onions, small pieces of well-dispersed crispy bacon, some herbs, and a custard that is reminiscent of a quiche filling — this was a highlight and gave the dish some flavor. We enjoyed this! The portion size was large, and we almost felt onion overload by the end.  If you’re a big fan of onions, this snack is made for you!

Drinks

New for 2026 is the Cinnamon Pretzel Cold Brew made with Joffrey’s Cold Brew Coffee with Sweet Cream, Caramel, Vanilla, Cinnamon, and Pretzel Pieces for $6.49.

Cinnamon Pretzel Cold Brew

We originally got our drink, and it… wasn’t it. The syrups didn’t mix together and melted towards the bottom, and it just wasn’t a hit. We decided to give it another try because we thought that we might have just gotten a bad batch, and lo and behold, we did! The next one mixed well together and mostly tasted of caramel coffee. You’ll definitely want to be a fan of the coffee’s taste, and we would really call it more of a Caramel Cold Brew since the cinnamon and pretzel didn’t come through. There is a pretzel topping, but it’s not really going to be present in each sip’s flavor.

OVERALL

If you’re a big fan of onion tarts, then we recommend stopping by Sommerfest for the Zwiebelkuchen! Plus, it’s big enough to share. The cold brew was more on the side of caramel and coffee, so if those are two flavors you love, this could be worth the stop. It wasn’t as unique as we were hoping but still a solid Joffrey’s coffee option.

That’s it for this booth, but there’s a LOT more where that came from!
