Emile's Fromage Montage

•  This cheese-centered food stroll has you dining and strolling to collect stamps to fill your book and earn a special treat. You collect stamps in your festival passport by purchasing specific items, in 2025 there were five items.
• The treat at the end of the cheese hunt was a Key Lime DOLE Whip with graham cracker crumbs.

Remy’s Hide & Squeak Scavenger Hunt

•  This scavenger hunt requires guests to purchase a map, often between $9.99 and $11.99. You travel around EPCOT on a hunt to fill out your map to earn a prize at the end.
• This scavenger hunt has you looking for Remy as he hunts for recipe ingredients.
• Last year’s prize was either a Mickey Mouse or a Remy bento box.

Eat to the Beat Concert Series

Surprising Hits and New Additions

We can't wait to try the Greek Melon Limeade: Kleos Mastiha Spirit, Artonic Melon Apéritif, Pearl Vodka, and lime sour mix. And we did get to sample the Kirschwasser Torte with cherry-brandy buttercream, fondant, sugared almonds, and cherry compote. During a media preview, we tried the Torte from the Apls booth. It is very sweet, definitely use that tart cherry compote liberally.

At The Land Pavilion, at Sunshine Seasons, we discovered a delightful milk shake that doubles as a mini-dessert sampler. The Strawberry Cheesecake Milk Shake ($10) featuring Remy comes with a mini cheesecake, a white chocolate Eiffel tower, a strawberry, with a thin sugar cookie, and lots of whipped cream. It's the perfect way to start your day enjoying the Food and Wine Festival, with a sweet treat featuring the festivals icon, Remy.

What's with the Pickle Milkshake?

Yes, there is a pickle milkshake at the Brew-Lab at The Odyssey. In 2025, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker were featured in this pavilion. Besides a variety of tasty wings, plus craft beer and cider, there is a pickle milkshake.

“Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker wanted to try some experiments and after many trials the result is a unexpected flavor combination that is compelling, memorable, and fun” – Will Dasso, Guest Service Manager at EPCOT

We tried this creation during a media preview, and it is a fun treat if you're into something unique. Flavors of dill and cucumber blend with a sweet vanilla flavor. There is nothing salty or briney about it.

Highlights of our best eats and drinks at EPCOT Food and Wine Festival include the Warm Raclette Swiss Cheese because it reminds us of fondue and is fun to share together. The Beer-braised Beef in Belgium is not photogenic but the flavors are phenomenal and comforting.

The Stone-baked Moroccan Bread is a great snack at just $5.00. It is easily shared and you can watch them pull it out of the oven so you know it is fresh. The Pistachio Cake is a fantastic dessert because it is not overly sweet.

Beer Flights, Wine Flights, and More

One of the most fun things to do at the festival is order a flight or two and share it. There's just something so great about sharing a flight and trying a few samples together. There are multiple eats and drinks at EPCOT Food and Wine Festival 2025 that were enjoyed as flights.

The Greek Wine Flight is one of our best Eats and Drinks at EPCOT Food and Wine Festival because it runs the full spectrum. You get one white, one rose, and one red. It's a visually pleasing flight and tastes fantastic.

Each wine is robust and showcases the wines of Greece beautifully with a sampling of Mylonas Assyrtiko White Wine, Zoe Rosé, Kir-Yianni Naoussa Xinomavro Dry Red. And at $7.50 it's a fairly affordable option.

The Tangierine Café: Flavors of the Medina is a great spot for couples because it is one of the only places for eats and drinks at EPCOT Food and Wine Festival that is completely indoors. Relax at a table inside and let the exotic music and decor wash over you. The Cider Flight is a special treat because it has three distinct flavors.

Enjoy a tasting of Keel Farms Blackberry Pear Hard Cider, Coppertail Brewing Fallen Fruit Tamarind Mint Hard Cider (New), and 3 Daughters Brewing Fig Hard Cider.

The Fry Flight

The Fry Flight at the Fry Basket seems a little casual to be one of this year's best eats and drinks at EPCOT Food and Wine Festival. And yet, it easily satisfies and is perfectly sharable.

The Salt and Vinegar flavor is not strong at all – just enough. The Parmesan flavor is new. And the Sweet Potato Casserole makes for a perfect little dessert at the end.
