The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic (Website) is returning for its 16th year with an all-new culinary lineup.
According to a recent press release, nearly every dish on the 2025 menu will make its event debut, and each evening, Friday, November 14, and Saturday, November 15, will feature many different items, so they can try to seduce you to join them for two nights instead of one. But that’s a lot of food.
Set outdoors along the causeway at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin, tucked away behind EPCOT, the two-night festival will feature over 45 dishes to sample this year, more than 170 beverage selections, and live entertainment in a vibrant, street party-style atmosphere. So bring a stick to keep people at their social distance.
This year, the newly opened Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina will join the event for the first time, too.
Highlights from the 2025 menu include:
- Galbi Jang Gulf Shrimp (For the Love of Florida) – Shrimp with soy braised elephant garlic, pickled cucumber, crispy zucchini chips, and Korean barbecue glaze (Friday and Saturday)
- Elote Corn Ribs (Rosa Mexicano) – Fried Corn Ribs Tossed In Spicy Queso Fresco Mix With Epazote Aioli (Friday and Saturday)
- Blue Crab Stir-Fried Rice (Tood English’s bluezoo) – Stir-fry with blue crab, Florida gulf shrimp, and tempura shitakes (Friday and Saturday)
- Ricotta Cappelletti (Il Mulino) – Hand-crafted pasta, house-made citrus ricotta filling, slow-cooked Angus beef ragu, and crispy pancetta breadcrumbs (Friday)
- Sabich (Amare) – Fried eggplant, Israeli salad, pickled watermelon radish, tahini garlic sauce, amba, micro parsley, and mini pita (Friday)
