The Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival will be returning soon to Disney California Adventure! Running from March 3rd to April 25th, DCA’s Food & Wine Festival takes inspiration from California cuisine with 12 festival marketplaces and additional offerings around the park, at Disneyland resorts, and at Downtown Disney District. Check out all the available items below!

This year also marks the return of the Sip and Savor Pass- a “commemorative credential” available for purchase to try up to eight different food and non-alcoholic beverage items at participating locations throughout the festival. Additionally, there are multiple bookable experiences at Disneyland resorts including the Trader Sam’s Tiki Mixology Seminar ($159 per person) where you can learn to make a popular drink, the HippopotoMai-Tai, enjoy sweet-and-spicy snacks, and receive a take home souvenir tiki mug and the Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa Food and Wine Experience ($225 per person) where you’ll meet chefs, sommeliers, and art historians and enjoy paired wines and plates from Hearthstone Lounge. Bookable experiences are available on various days and can be booked through the Disneyland website.
