Festival FAQs

My first Food & Wine Festival experience was in 2017 and I was beyond impressed! Considering I don’t drink alcohol, you might wonder what I could find so impressive about this seasonal event.

It really brings such a fun, festive vibe to California Adventure with different cuisines, drinks and entertainment options and truly has something everyone can enjoy.

What is Food & Wine Festival at Disneyland Resort? 

Disney’s Food & Wine Festival celebrates the cuisines and flavors of California through delicious food, drinks and entertainment.

While you can find incredible food throughout Disneyland Resort, Disney’s Food & Wine Festival is celebrated only at Disney California Adventure Park.

Beyond eating food and sipping drinks, there are culinary demonstrations, crafts and family events, live entertainment and more.

Where is Food & Wine Festival at Disneyland Resort? 

Disney’s Food & Wine Festival is celebrated at Disney California Adventure Park. You’ll find most of the food markets on the pathway that borders Paradise Bay (the water area in front of Pixar Pier) and Paradise Gardens Park and into Hollywood Land, San Fransokyo Square and Avengers Campus.

Marketplace kiosks typically begin near the entrance to Cars Land lining the path toward Paradise Gardens. There are also additional kiosks in Hollywood Land offering beer, wine and small bites. 

How much does Food & Wine cost?

You can stroll through Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival for free with valid, theme park admission.  Get discount Disneyland Resort tickets here. 

Even kids crafts and Jr. Chef events are free—more on those below. 

Food and drinks are an additional cost (find exact prices on the Disneyland app), just like any other food and drinks in the parks. There are some events that require reservations and an additional fee, discussed below. 

What is a Sip & Savor Pass?

Food & Wine Festival Sip & Savor Pass gives you the opportunity to taste your way through Food & Wine Festival Marketplace at your leisure and for one set cost.

Sip and Savors are offered in prepaid sets of 4 or 8 items. The design this year with four pre-paid items features Chef Goofy and the one with eight features Chef Mickey.

Choose your favorite food items, Food & Wine desserts or non-alcoholic beverages with the convenience of a pre-paid Sip & Savor Pass. Every year the Sip & Savor pass looks a little different to reflect the vibe and merchandise—I always look forward to seeing the new designs.

The Sip & Savor Pass can be purchased at several locations:

• Elias & Co. on Buena Vista Street (shorter lines)
• Festival Gifts and Marketplaces as you enter the main festival area
• Julius, Katz & Sons on Buena Vista Street (shorter lines)
• Rushin’ River Outfitters near Grizzly River Run (shorter lines)

You can use your Sip & Savor Pass over multiple days, or anytime during the duration of the festival. You can also share your Sip & Savor pass. Keep reading for pricing information. 

How much is a Food & Wine Sip & Savor Pass? 

The Food and Wine Sip & Savor Pass comes in two different options. You can purchase either a four-coupon or eight-coupon version. Last year the full Sip & Savor pass was about $57 with 8 pre-paid passes which makes each item ~$7.10 (normal pricing $7-$12+).

Magic Key Holders will receive a special souvenir lanyard along with a small discount. Last year the pass was about $52 with 8 pre-paid passes which makes each item about $6.50 (normal pricing $7-$12+).

What is a Food & Wine Tasting Passport? 

The tasting passport you’ve seen on my Facebook page simply outlines each Marketplace’s food and wine offerings, a map, photos and special details. The Tasting Passport is free and helps you keep track of things to try! 

It’s much easier to look over the huge menus before your trip and make your list at home. 

When do Food & Wine Marketplace kiosks open?

Food & Wine Festival Marketplace opens daily at 10:30 am through the end of the festival day. Believe me, I count down the minutes for 10:30 to arrive each morning. 

Bonus tip! Don’t wait in long lines. You can pay for all your items at once. Stop at any Marketplace cashier station to order, then bring your receipt to pick up your food at the specific marketplace kiosk.

Select events during Food & Wine require registration (and a fee), while others are open to anyone visiting the park that day, space permitting. 

Junior Chef and Family Freebies

Jr Chef is available on a first-come, first-served basis for children ages 3 to 11, normally offered several times per day. This event is free and it’s recommended you sign up 45 minutes prior to the show you wish to attend.

Times are typically 1:30 2:30, 4:00 and 5:00 pm on weekdays but may be limited on weekends to 4:00 and 5:00 pm.

In 2024 it was confection “purrfection” inspired by Disney Junior SuperKitties. Your incredible and enthusiastic host, along with Minnie Mouse will entertain and delight young guests and they decorate their very own cupcake to enjoy.

In 2022 and 2023, Jr Chef featured Alice’s Wonderland Bakery Unbirthday Party.

You can also meet Chef Goofy in the Hollywood Backlot area for family photos and Goofy antics. 

Another freebie on the list for families is Jammin’ Chefs. It’s a fantastic, upbeat and live entertainment event happening in front of The Little Mermaid attraction.

In past years we’ve also watched Jammin’ Chefs in Hollywood Land. 

Along with your paid park admission you can attend various presentations on select days during Food & Wine Festival. This year you can add on these exclusive options:

• Carthay Circle Winemaker Receptions – Enjoy hand-selected California wines, masterfully paired with an array of small plates.

The above options do require additional reservations.

Shopping

Sprinkled among the food and wine booths, you can also find limited edition merchandise and unique gift ideas, cooking supplies and more during the Food & Wine Festival.

I loved the colors of merchandise which centered around bright, bold colors in past years. I can’t wait to see the look for future years.

What’s California Adventure without some signature California merchandise? All this and more available during California Adventure’s Food & Wine Festival runs February 28 – April 21, 2025.
