2023 Busch Gardens, Tampa Food & Wine Festival Menu Items

Below is a text-based list of all the food and beverage items that will be available for this year's Busch Gardens Food & Wine Festival. The festival takes place on Friday, Saturday, and Sundays between March 10th, 2023 and May 21st, 2023. The Food & Wine Festival culinary booth hours are between 12pm and the posted park close times.

Festival Sampler Lanyards are back for 2023 and are a great way to enjoy the festival.

• The 10 Item Sampler Lanyard is $70.00 plus tax ($78.74), which breaks down to around $7.88 per item.
• The 15 Item Sampler Lanyard is $85.00 plus tax ($95.87), which breaks down to around $6.40 per item.
• If you are a Busch Gardens Annual Passholder, there's an even better deal… an 18 Item Sampler Lanyard is also $85.00 plus tax ($95.87), which breaks down to around $5.33 per item!
  

The Sampler Lanyards can be shared between guests of the same party and are valid until the end of the 2023 Food & Wine Festival (so you don't have to use all your entitlements on the same day).
