Grab your fork and your glass because the Food & Wine Festival returns to Disney California Adventure from March 6 through April 27, 2026. This celebration of the Golden State brings a massive lineup of creative bites and drinks you won’t want to miss.
Chefs are bringing a mix of brand-new creations and fan favorites to the table this year. You can dive into new dishes like Chicharrón Nachos and Ramen Mac & Cheese, or stick with classics like the Junior LA Street Dog and Strawberry Horchata.
To make the most of your culinary journey, you can pick up a Sip and Savor Pass. This pass lets you choose between four or eight digital coupons to redeem for snacks and non-alcoholic drinks at festival booths and restaurants. If you get one early, you might even snag a complimentary Mickey-shaped Food & Wine plate while they last.
Keep an eye out for the 
icon throughout the park to see which items work with your pass. It’s a great way to taste a little bit of everything without overcomplicating your day.
Chef Goofy takes center stage on a special edition Disney Gift Card this year. When you activate one with $125 or more, you receive a limited-edition Carthay Circle Restaurant pin. You can use this card for all your festival treats, merchandise, and even the Sip and Savor Pass.
For those looking to learn while they sip, Sonoma Terrace hosts Beverage Education Seminars on weekends. You can join expert winemakers and Disney mixologists for a guided tasting that lasts about 40 minutes. It’s a great way to deepen your knowledge of California’s best pours.
Over at the Hollywood Backlot Stage, local and visiting chefs perform free culinary demonstrations. You don’t need a reservation for these, so you can just drop by to watch them whip up something delicious and maybe steal a few tips for your own kitchen.
