The Disneyland Food and Wine Festival is an eagerly anticipated annual event at the Disneyland Resort’s Disney California Adventure Park. It showcases an exciting array of culinary delights, wine tastings, cooking demonstrations, and exclusive dining experiences.
In addition to the delectable food and drink options, guests can immerse themselves in the festival’s unique atmosphere, complete with live entertainment, themed decorations, and special merchandise celebrating the culinary arts. Whether you’re a food enthusiast or just looking for a magical experience, the Disneyland Food and Wine Festival 2025 is sure to delight all senses and create lasting memories for everyone.
Disneyland’s Food and Wine Festival offers a variety of experiences to fully enjoy the celebration.
One of the best ways to sample a variety of delicious dishes at the California Adventure Food and Wine Festival (while saving some money) is by purchasing the Sip and Savor Pass. Continuing off the success of 2024, guests can choose a pass that includes either 4 or 8 digital coupons, redeemable for select food and nonalcoholic beverages at participating Festival Marketplaces and dining locations.
The 8-entitlement Sip and Savor Pass is priced at $63, tax included. However, Magic Key holders can enjoy a discounted rate of $58, also including tax. Please note that this reflects a $2 increase compared to last year. Additionally, the 4-entitlement Sip and Savor Pass is available for $32, tax included. Please note that no discounts apply to this pass.
The Sip and Savor Pass features a scannable code. Cast Members will scan the back of the pass at the designated location. After that, you’ll need to enter the 4-digit code found on your pass during checkout.
IMPORTANT: Please do not share this code on social media or other platforms if you intend to use it multiple times. The code remains the same, and sharing it before you’ve used all your coupons could allow others to take advantage of it. While the scan code might be linked to your PIN, I can’t confirm that with certainty. Also, 2025 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival Sip and Savor Passes and all associated digital coupons expire April 21, 2025. Associated digital coupons may not be redeemed at any other event.
DISNEYLAND’S FOOD AND WINE FESTIVAL MARKETPLACES 2025
Although Disneyland’s Food and Wine Festival differs significantly from the one at WDW EPCOT, there’s truly something for everyone to enjoy. What sets Disneyland Resort apart is its emphasis on California cuisine, which offers a diverse array of culinary options!
Let me begin by sharing the places where we had the opportunity to sample some delicious food.
California Craft Brews
At California Craft Brews, we sampled the new Lemon Pepper Wings with garlic ranch, and let me tell you, if you’re a fan of Lemon Pepper like I am, these wings are a solid 10/10! They’re perfectly crispy and crunchy, bursting with a delightful blend of lemony goodness.
I also got to sample the new non-alcoholic drink, California Punch, which features a blend of mango purée, guava nectar, cucumber syrup, and lemon juice, topped off with a mango chile lollipop. It was tasty, but quite sweet—I found myself needing to dilute it a bit. Overall, I’d rate it 6/10.
I also got to try the new Mango Guava Cocktail. This is a great beverage for those who do not enjoy the taste of alcohol and what to hide it in something sweet. 7/10
Cluck-a-Doodle-Moo
At Cluck-a-Doodle-Moo, the sampling is so generous it nearly resembles a full meal. The Asa’DOS features grilled skirt steak and chipotle chicken served with Spanish rice and salsa verde (new on the menu). I found it to be quite satisfactory—simple flavors that are great for those who prefer milder dishes. I’d give it a 7/10.
Garlic Kissed
Garlic Kissed has clinched the award for the best mac and cheese for the second consecutive year, thanks to their Sirloin Gruyére Mac & Cheese, featuring black garlic chimichurri and a delectable garlic butter crunch. This dish far surpasses last year’s Carbonara Garlic Mac & Cheese! We couldn’t resist going back for two more servings at the end of the night. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare, and the chimichurri was truly a chef’s kiss! This is a must-try! 1,000,000/10!
This marketplace features my all-time favorite non-alcoholic drink, the Huckleberry-Citrus Cooler, which I’d rate a perfect 10/10. They also offer the Guava Lychee Mule, a delightfully light and refreshing option that’s almost too good—order three! Solid 9/10.
Golden Dreams
Golden Dreams carries two new items. The Musubi Fried Rice: Aulani Resort-inspired steamed rice with egg, glazed spiced ham, umami mayo, and furikake. Also, the Cherry Cobbler Pot de Crème: Vanilla custard, cherry filling, and oat crumble (Plant-based).
I enjoyed the Musubi Fried Rice; it was a unique choice for this event, though it was a bit on the salty side—something I rarely say about Disneyland food! I’d rate it 9/10. However, I’m not particularly fond of cherry, so when it came time to taste it, I relied on my editor Junior’s opinion, which he rated at 7/10.
LA STYLE
LA Style has introduced two new menu items: the Mini LA Street Dog, featuring jalapeño mayo, pepper and onion relish, Nueske’s Applewood Smoked Bacon, and crispy onions, and the Western BBQ Burger Bao, which comes with sweet barbecue sauce, Nueske’s Applewood Smoked Bacon, and crispy onions.
While we didn’t sample the street dog, we did give the Western BBQ Burger Bao a try. The concept is promising, and the BBQ sauce is tasty, but unfortunately, the bun was excessively dry, and the meat had a bland flavor and an odd texture. It’s hard to say if we just happened to get a weird batch or if this is how the dish is intended to be. Either way, it wasn’t a hit for us—definitely a 0/10. We recommend skipping it altogether.
That being said, the Cantarito-Style Paloma is absolutely amazing! I ended up having two of them. The habanero adds a kick depending on your spice tolerance, but for someone like me, it just provided a delightful flavor. 10/10
Mercado de Antojos – New!
Merado de Antojos offers the much-anticipated Birria Mac & Cheese, topped with an onion-cilantro sauce and crispy tortilla bits. I wanted to love it, but I found it lacking in both salt and spice. Unfortunately, it’s one of my least favorite mac and cheese dishes in quite some time. I would rate it a 5.5/10.
Peppers Cali-Ente
Peppers Cali-Ente wins my favorite Market Place of Disneyland’s California Adventure Food and Wine Festival this year! There you can find the Shrimp Papas Locas: Cheddar-bacon potatoes with jalapeño cheese sauce and spicy shrimp featuring Tajín chipotle sauce. Also, the Corn Chip Chili Pie featuring IMPOSSIBLE Beef: Seasoned IMPOSSIBLE Beef, spicy cheese sauce, tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, and cream (New). And the biggest surprise of the season, the new Pickle Whiskey Sour Cocktail!
I always love the Shrimp Papas Locas! While the dish is straightforward, the real star is the potatoes. The Vegetarian Frito Nacho option is also fantastic—full of flavor and just the right amount of spice. And let’s talk about the Pickle Whiskey Sour—it’s mind-blowingly good! I can’t believe how well the sour mix, the warmth of the bourbon, and the pickle brine come together. I’d rate it a perfect 100000/10!
WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO DO AT DISNEYLAND’S FOOD AND WINE FESTIVAL?
The Disneyland Food and Wine Festival is more than just a celebration of exquisite food and beverages—it’s a unique experience at Disney California Adventure Park! For a limited time, you can once again take flight over California on the beloved Soarin’ Over California!
In addition to the culinary delights, there are some thrilling shows to enjoy. Just outside The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Undersea Adventure, don’t miss “Cookin’ with the Jammin’ Chefs!” You can also catch two live music performances at the Paradise Garden Bandstand and the Palisades Stage!
