Discover the Ultimate Foodie Guide for Disneyland California Adventure’s Food and Wine Festival – Now Available!

When does the Food and Wine Festival at Disney California Adventure begin?

Disney California Adventure (DCA) Food and Wine Festival 2023 is just around the corner, starting on March 3, 2023 and Disney has recently released a comprehensive list of all the delicious food and drinks available that will be made available to guests. 

This year’s festival will be a celebration of California’s unique culinary scene, with an array of food and beverage options that highlight the state’s diverse flavors and ingredients. This Food and Wine Festival will be available until April 25, 2023. 

What is a Sip and Savor Pass and what are its perks for the Food and Wine Festival at DCA?

For those looking to make the most of their visit, Disney offers a special Sip and Savor Pass. This pass allows guests to sample a selection of food and drink items from the festival, giving the opportunity to try a variety of different flavors and dishes at a discounted price. 

You will receive a pass with multiple tabs that are redeemable for select food and nonalcoholic beverages at participating Marketplaces and dining locations for this Food and Wine Festival. If you are a magic key holder be sure to present your  pass for a discounted price! Do not remove your tabs until a cast member instructs you to hand it over, otherwise your tab is void and you will not be able to take your order. 

Disney has made a recent shift in allowing guests to order all of their food items and beverages at one location and then pick up the rest as they go! This is such a game changer and it helps you to enjoy your time in the park and keep your food warm! 

Now let’s get the good stuff, this guide features a detailed list of all the food and drink items available at the festival, along with their locations. There are a total of 12 festival marketplaces throughout DCA and the list below was gathered from Disney.
