In addition to the amazing vegan and vegetarian offerings, don’t forget to try some tasty cocktails, wines and beers! The two I’ve tried so far was the Aperol cocktail (from Garlic Kissed) that tasted similar to my favorite Lunar New Year 2020 cocktail the Lychee-Grapefruit gin spritzer, and the mimosa flight! The mimosa flight had the Pacific Mimosa (a coconut flavor), the Mojave Mimosa (which tastes like fresh peach) and the Sierra Mimosa (with a floral taste).

Sip and Savor Pass

Each year, we always get a Sip and Savor pass since we go to Disney California Adventure multiple times during the Food & Wine Festival! It is available for purchase near The Little Mermaid attraction at Disney California Adventure. It is $56 for regular price passes (Annual Passholders also receive a discounted price), and it comes with eight tabs redeemable for eight tastings (alcoholic beverages excluded) at the Food & Wine Festival booths. You can learn more information about the Sip and Savor Pass here.

Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival With Kids

A question I often get asked each year, is if the Food & Wine Festival is also fun for kids. The answer is: YES! You can check out my full post on Food & Wine Festival with kids here, but below is a summary of some of the things my daughter loves to do:

  • Tasting the “kid-friendly” foods such as the Impossible Mac & Cheese and Impossible Submarine which my daughter loves (and the perfect portion size for kids too)
  • Tasting the festival desserts
  • Meeting Chef Goofy in Hollywood Land (this is the first year this is being offered)
  • Coloring and activity tables themed to cooking in Hollywood Land
  • Participating in Junior Chef, where you can bake cookies with Goofy! (complimentary)

Be sure to visit Disney California Adventure Park for the Food & Wine Festival by April 21, 2020! You can find more info about the festival here, as well as see the full food guide in addition to the vegan and vegetarian options on the Disney Parks Blog.
