2025 Disneyland Food and Wine Festival
Category: Activities, Performances, & EventsThe mouth-watering festival is back at Disneyland Resort. Disney California Adventure is filled with food, beverages, and wine of all kinds. This is one event many people plan their itineraries around as it offers a wide variety of options to try from the talented chefs at the resort.
Sip and Savor Pass
Returning is the Sip and Savor Pass which allows guests to sample various delicacies throughout the park. The kiosks are all different and if guests cannot find something they want to try via the pass, there are still many great offerings at the restaurants throughout the park.
The Sip and Savor pass comes in two options. For $63.00 guests get eight items and for $32.00 they get four items. With plenty of choices it’s fun to share the passes with friends to get more samples and savor more food and beverages. They are not specific to the kiosks. Several items from the pass are available at restaurants and food services throughout the park.
Don’t forget to pick up a Festival Guide even if you don’t purchase a Sip and Savor Pass. It will explain where and what festival items are available throughout the park. Guests are able to purchase individual items even if they do not purchase a pass.
Activities
Besides the food – and wine! – there are activities designed especially for the little ones. After all, they cannot take advantage of the many varieties of wines but they can definitely enjoy some special fun.
The Jammin’ Chefs, a favorite street show among youngsters, is back with plenty of fun and music. It’s here were kids can enjoy the antics of some of their favorite Disney characters as they assist the chefs in creating specialties. Songs and dancing bring out the joy of spending time with the chefs as they entertain the crowds with the assistance of Chip, Dale, Daisy, and other Disney pals.
Also returning is the Confection Perfection with the Super Kitties where kids can design their own cupcakes under the watchful eyes of the Super Kitties. It’s always a treat – no pun intended – for the kiddies to be with the kitties – pun intended. This activity is for ages 3-11. Signup is 45 minutes before each show so check the Disneyland app for dates and times.
