Disneyland Announces Dates for the 2026 Food & Wine Festival

Disneyland has announced the dates for its highly anticipated 2026 Food & Wine Festival, scheduled to run from March 6 to April 27 at Disney California Adventure. This yearly culinary celebration will feature an array of California-centric food, craft beer, and wines, complemented by appearances from celebrity chefs and beloved Disney characters dressed as culinary stars.

During the festival, guests can explore various marketplace booths offering small plates that highlight California-grown ingredients. While the specific lineup for 2026 has yet to be revealed, previous festivals included popular booths like California Craft Brews, Cluck-A-Doodle-Moo, and Garlic Kissed, among others.

In addition to the food offerings, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in cooking demonstrations by local, celebrity, and Disney chefs, as well as tasting seminars and special signature events. Notably, previous years have featured renowned chefs such as Richard Blais and Guy Fieri.

For those looking to indulge, Disneyland typically provides a Sip and Savor card, allowing guests to sample various food and beverage items throughout the festival. Cards were offered at $63 for eight items and $32 for four items in 2025.

Past festivals have also included free culinary demonstrations, including cupcake decorating experiences and cooking lessons focused on specific recipes. Planning for 2026 will still require confirmation of these offerings as well as other special events that often sell out quickly during advance bookings.
