Fall is an extremely popular time for many Guests at the Walt Disney World Resort, thanks to the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. This incredible event runs from July through November in 2022 and offers up a culinary experience that no Guest will forget!

The main attraction of the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is the army of Global Marketplaces, or booths, that Guests can enjoy. Each Global Marketplace focuses on a specific international country or type of cuisine and serves up several food and beverage items in tasting portions. With several dozen Global Marketplaces to enjoy, Guests can easily spend several days eating their way around EPCOT and still not sample everything!

Each weekend during the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is made even more enjoyable with the East to the Beat Concert Series, a fun lineup of musical performances in the America Gardens Theatre in The American Adventure Pavilion. Guests who visit EPCOT during a weekend can check out musical acts including Joey Fatone & Friends, Kris Allen & David Cook, Air Supply, Robert Randolph Band, Hanson, Boyz II Men, Kenny G, and Sugar Ray.

In addition to eating their way through the Global Marketplaces, Guests of all ages can enjoy several fun activities that encourage them to explore EPCOTs World Showcase. Remys Ratatouille Hide & Squeak is a fun scavenger hunt where Guests try to locate a number of hidden Remys throughout World Showcase and match stickers to a special map before handing in their completed form to receive a special keepsake.

Guests who love Remys Ratatouille Hide & Squeak can also enjoy Plutos Pumpkin Pursuit during October at the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. This seasonal scavenger hunt features the same map and sticker setup, but Guests have to locate special pumpkins throughout EPCOT that have been designed to look like favorite Disney characters and can collect a festival keepsake at the end.

Cheese lovers have a final scavenger hunt of sorts to enjoy during EPCOTs International Food & Wine Festival which involves tasting a series of delicious cheese-based dishes from the Global Marketplaces. Emiles Fromage Homage requires Guests to sample five dishes from a selection of a dozen options, and then report to the Shimmering Sips Global Marketplace to receive a complimentary dessert in a collectible festival cup.
