Disney California Adventure Food & Wine dessert tasting guide is here!
Disney’s Food & Wine Festival is an annual event at California Adventure featuring California inspired food and wine, festive marketplaces, culinary demonstrations, along with live music and entertainment. Disneyland Resort provided me with a Sip & Savor Pass to taste-test these items.
Food & Wine Festival runs March 4 – April 26, 2022.
Wine tasting? Sure, they’ve got that covered. But let’s talk dessert tasting!
Our list of 75 desserts from Festival of Holidays was so popular we decided to reprise it for Food & Wine Festival. Disneyland Resort provided me with vouchers to taste-test these items.
I’ve gathered all the top desserts at the Food & Wine Festival booths so you can hop from kiosk to kiosk and satisfy your sweet tooth while at Disney California Adventure Park this spring. But first, check out all of our Food & Wine Festival Q&A here.
Updated with 2022 Food & Wine menu items!

Food & Wine Dessert Tasting: Churros & Cakes
At Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival, you can have your cake and eat it too. Because these are served in small bite form, there’s even more reason to indulge and try a bit of everything!

Food & Wine Dessert Tasting: Chocolate
Chocolate is my go-to dessert. I love a good chocolate. I love trying everything chocolate, it’s an easy task!
- Mickey-shaped Caramel-Peanut-Milk Chocolate Macaron, available at Nuts About Cheese marketplace. I ordered enough for an army. Kidding! This was the display at our media event and it might be my favorite visual ever. Stacks of Mickey macarons. I couldn’t finish an entire one alone, you’ll find the ingredients to be similar to a Snickers bar.
- Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch: Chocolate-hazelnut mousse topped with chocolate-hazelnut glaze and a gold leaf, available at Uncork California marketplace

Jr Chef Dessert
Another dessert crawl option that is not only free, but perfect for your little ones is Junior Chef.
This daily event is available on a first-come, first-served basis for children ages 3 to 11 in the Hollywood Backlot. Check the entertainment schedule on the Disneyland App to see what times are available. Park admission required.
“With silly supervision from Chef Goofy, kids follow a recipe and then swirl everything together (little hands may get messy). The finished goodies go into the magic oven and―voila! Each child gets a wrapped, ready-to-eat baked treat.” -Disney Parks Blog
