Disneyland Resort's Food and Wine Festival 2010
"The Art of Flavor"
California Adventure - April 16 to May 31, 2010
Details on our favorite time of the year, Disney's Food and Wine festival, have finally been posted. We couldn't be happier to see that they have found a way to keep this festival going, even during massive construction at California Adventure. (The photos in this discussion are from previous MiceChat trips to the Food and Wine Festival in 2007, 2008, and 2009)
This year's event features 46 days of two of our most favorite things: Eating and drinking 
As with past versions of this festival, we will find cooking demonstrations, seminars, tastings, wine and beer walks, artisans and other shopping, and special events such as the signature "Taste" event. Much of this year's festival will take place in the Hollywood Studios Backlot in the former Hollywood and Dine building.
Heads up! Tickets to the most popular events listed below become available on February 16, 2010.
