Disney4me Posted October 11, 2023 Report Posted October 11, 2023 Yes, there is ANOTHER Food & Wine Festival that you might not know about at Disney World. Some may argue it’s even better than the one at EPCOT. The Dolphin Resort The Swan & Dolphin Food & Wine Classic takes place on Friday, November 10th, and Saturday, November 11th, 2023. The event will run from 5:30-9 PM on both days and will be full of incredible eats, inventive drinks, entertainment, and more. Wondering just what sort of dishes will be available this year? We got a sneak peek on what to expect. We headed to the Swan Reserve for a media event on the upcoming Food & Wine Classic. We were able to learn more about this years event and taste some of the dishes that will be featured this year. The event includes tastings from ALL of the Swan and Dolphin’s Restaurants, including Todd English’s bluezoo, Shula’s Steakhouse, Kimonos, and more. Walt Disney World Swan Reserve Hotel The event will be celebrating its 14th anniversary this fall. This year there will be two themed areas — For the Love of Florida and The Rosé Room. These areas will feature new dishes and drinks that are inspired by the name. For example, at the For the Love of Florida, you can taste Seminole Pumpkin Fry Bread. This is a pumpkin-flavored fry bread with powdered sugar and warm pumpkin spice sauce. For The Love of Florida You can also expect to see this Pan-Seared Vegan Dumpling at the event. It comes with a spicy sauce to dip in for extra flavor. Vegan Dumpling Amare will be serving homemade Tortellini Pasta. Tortellini Pasta Rosa Mexicano, the newest Swan and Dolphin restaurant, is serving up Red Chile Chicken. It has Red Chile Chicken, Avocado, Tomatillo, Pico de Gallo, and Queso Fresco on a corn tortilla. Rosa Mexicano Red Chile Chicken For dessert, we grabbed Pear Pecan Praline Cake. This cake has a black fig compote to pair with it. Pear Pecan Praline Cake Next, these Blood Orange & Raspberry Tart. Aren’t they beautiful?
