Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic

Friday, November 15 • Saturday, November 16, 2024 (Friday & Saturday Only)
Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic
The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic is a two day event that takes place from 5:30pm-9:30pm in mid November. The event features over 20 culinary selections from the hotel's award-winning restaurants, as well as more than 100 beverage samplings from around the world — all amidst a festive backdrop of live entertainment. The event is open to the general public and the best way to experience the event is with a "causeway ticket" which allows unlimited food and beverage tasting for each night. A separate causeway ticket would be needed for each night of the event.

Returning for 2024 is the "Learn" portion of the event, and will feature unique seminars that provide guests with a deeper understanding of a particular culinary or beverage subject. The seminars are an extra cost activity, but a "causeway ticket" to the main festival is not needed to attend the seminars. Advanced purchase of seminar tickets is recommended as space is limited.

The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic Returns for 2021

The Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic is currently entering it's 12th year and I couldn't be happier that we're getting the full-on, outdoor, big party, festival experience that we've come to expect at the "Classic"!  I've been to several of these events over the past decade and have posted about them here on Mealtrip — but (admittedly) under a not so easy to find category. I recently moved the Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic into the "Festivals" category and have given it a ... ( read more ... )
