A Few Returning Favorites:
- Crab and Corn Macaroni and Cheese (The Wedge Hosted by Dairy Does More Menu)

At The Land Pavilion, at Sunshine Seasons, the delightful Strawberry Cheesecake Milkshake ($10) is back, featuring Remy, and comes with a mini cheesecake, a white chocolate Eiffel Tower, a strawberry, 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 festival’s icon, Remy.
What’s with the Pickle Milkshake?
Yes, there is a pickle milkshake at the Brew-Wing Lab at the Odyssey.
We tried this creation during a past 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 briny about it.
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 2026 that were enjoyed as flights.
There are multiple Wine Flights, Beer Flights, Mimosa Flights, and Hard Cider Flights offered at various booths. These are often one of our best Eats and Drinks at EPCOT Food and Wine Festival because it allows you to try multiple drinks or bites!

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 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.
Avoid These Mistakes at the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
