The Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic will return to Central Florida this fall on Friday, Nov. 20, and Saturday, Nov. 21. Tickets are now available for the 17th annual event, which takes place outdoors at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin. This is our personal favorite Food & Wine festival at Disney World and we are excited to share this news with you.
From 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. each night, guests can walk through the resort grounds to sample unlimited food and drinks. The festival highlights the hotel’s 23 different restaurants and lounges. Notable names scheduled to participate include Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina, Todd English’s bluezoo, Il Mulino, and Rosa Mexicano.
Festival Highlights and Atmosphere. The event is styled as a large street party in the center of Walt Disney World Resort. Along with the food stations, the festival features live music and various themed areas. These sections use specific decor and menus to create different environments for guests. Popular past themes have included the Bubble Lounge, Chinatown, Carnival Corner, and For the Love of Florida.
Attendees will also have the chance to see celebrity chefs Todd English and Michael Mina in person during the two-day celebration.
Ticket and Pricing Information. Single-night tickets for the 2026 event cost $215. Because the food menus change between Friday and Saturday, the resort offers a bundle for those who want to attend both nights. Guests who buy the two-night package receive a 10 percent discount.
The Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic is well-known for its extensive beverage program. The staff includes nearly 30 certified wine sommeliers who manage a collection of 1,400 different wine labels. During the festival, guests can try various wines, beers, and other drinks from around the world.
