Get First Taste of New Wine Exclusively for Disney Parks at This Year’s Epcot International Food & Wine Festival

posted on September 7th, 2011 by Pam Brandon, Disney Parks Food Writer

If you like being a trendsetter, make one of your first stops at the Epcot Food & Wine Festival at the Enoteca Castello wine shop in the Italy Pavilion, where they’ll be pouring ($6 a glass) two new exclusive wines for Disney Parks. You also can purchase there by the bottle ($16.95), or at the wine shop in the Festival Welcome Center.

The label is Sogno d’Italia, which translates as “Dream of Italy,” made by Placido in Tuscany and imported by Banfi Vintners.. The light, crisp Pinot Grigio reminds us of pears and flowers. If you prefer a red, sip the drinkable Chianti, with a note of cherries and plums and a hint of spice.

“When we dream of Italy, we dream not only of its noble traditions, but of its appealingly easygoing lifestyle,” said winemaker Paolo Benassi. “These wines embody both of those ideals.” The festival opens Sept. 30 and runs through Nov. 13. If you can’t join us, the wines will still be sold at the Italy shop post-fest. And eventually they’ll be added to wine lists at select Disney restaurants.

There is a pre-opening preview for CMs for the F&W Festival one day before it opens to the public.

If anyone, up to 3 people, will be at WDW on the 29th and doesn't want to use up an admission for the F&W, let me know.

There is one major drawback though, you'll have to stay with me and the wife as the CM might have to be present if you plan on sampling the goodies.

Wish we were going to be there!! That "drawback" doesn't sound half bad. :)

We went for the soft opening on Thursday.

Epcot was very busy. I don't think it was because of all the CMs.

The lines at the food kiosks were very short as the general public, for the most part, didn't know that it was going to be a soft opening for the F&W.

Made it about half way around before I was full.

[BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023]

Details, man! Details!

What did you try and how was it?

[Lou... 3,118]

You expect me to remember?

It was two days ago and don't forget it's the Food & Wine Festival.

[BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023]

:rofl2:

Alright. Since I can't remember what yesterday was or where I am most days... you get a pass.

This time.

[BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023]

Well since Lou forgot to take pics of his food, I figured I'd go scavenging the web for some. Lucky for me Orlando Attractions Magazine has been posting pics on FB all weekend!
