EPCOT's 2026 Food and Wine Festival menus bring back 30 items from past festivals, including a 1996 Poland pierogi
The 2026 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival runs August 27 to November 21 and marks the event's 30th year with 30 returning or reimagined items, some pulled from booths that no longer exist. Emile's Fromage Montage is back, a Cheers to Cheese exhibit runs in CommuniCore Hall from September 18 to November 8, and four marketplaces open weeks after the festival itself.

EPCOT has released the full menu lineup for the 2026 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival, which runs from August 27 through November 21, 2026 and marks the event's 30th year. Thirty items across the Global Marketplaces have either returned or been reimagined from past festivals, Emile's Fromage Montage food stroll is back, and a Cheers to Cheese exhibit takes over CommuniCore Hall for part of the run.

What the 30th anniversary changes
The anniversary is not a separate ticketed layer; it is baked into the menus. Thirty dishes and drinks that debuted in earlier years have come back or been reworked, and each carries a 30th icon in the guide. Some of them are pulled from booths that no longer exist, which is where this year gets interesting for longtime festival guests: the Potato Pierogi is labelled as a 1996 Poland item, the Liquid Nitrogen Almond Truffle Mousse traces back to the 2015 Chew Lab, and the Rodizio-style Grilled Beef Skewer originally ran at Argentina in 2009. The oldest returns, the Dumplings Trio from China and the Apple Strudel from Germany, date to the very first festival in 1996.
Emile's Fromage Montage returns as the festival's cheese stroll. Five marked items, five stamps in a Festival Passport, then a redemption at Shimmering Sips. Separately, a Cheers to Cheese exhibit runs in CommuniCore Hall from September 18 to November 8, alongside The Wedge, a cheese-focused kiosk hosted by Dairy Does More serving flights, a cannoli milk shake and three macaroni and cheese variants.
For paying as you graze, EPCOT is again selling Disney Gift Card wristlets, this year featuring Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. They activate from a $15 minimum, are sold at merchandise locations around the park during the festival, and work at the Global Marketplaces and anywhere else Disney Gift Card is accepted.

Kids Picks, and where the Fromage Montage ends
Disney also names five Kids Picks, one per marketplace, for anyone walking World Showcase with a cautious eater:
- Belgium: Belgian Waffle with cookie butter and whipped cream topped with speculoos cookie pieces
- Brazil: Pao de Queijo, Brazilian cheese bread
- Brew-Wing Lab at The Odyssey: Fried Pickle Spears with dill ranch
- The Wedge Hosted by Dairy Does More: Three-Cheese Macaroni and Cheese with smoked cheddar sauce and herbed panko
- Milled and Mulled: Apple-Cinnamon and Caramel Mini Churros Sundae with vanilla bean gelato
The Fromage Montage is a separate stroll, and only the cheese items flagged above count toward it. Two of the Kids Picks qualify for both: the Pao de Queijo and the Three-Cheese Macaroni and Cheese. Buy five cheese items, collect the stamps in a Festival Passport, then redeem at Shimmering Sips near Port of Entry, which is also where the Mimosa Flight and the Strawberry Champagne Trifle live.
Festival merchandise
A 2026 Food and Wine Festival merchandise line is also part of the event, aimed at kitchen and serving pieces rather than apparel. It is sold at EPCOT merchandise locations during the run.
Which booths are open on August 27, and which are not
The festival opens August 27, but four of its most talked-about stands do not. Festival Favorites, the booth carrying the Potato Pierogi and the Bo Ssam Pork Belly Lettuce Wraps, starts September 9. The Wedge and the Cheers to Cheese exhibit both start September 18. Coastal Eats, Earth Eats, India and The Alps all wait until October 2, which pushes the Warm Raclette Swiss Cheese, the Tartiflette, the Chicken Tikka Masala and the Seafood Pot Pie into the second half of the run. If a specific anniversary item is the reason for the trip, the date on the booth matters more than the date on the festival.
