Kurt Russell, smiling with his signature gray hair and dressed in a dark shirt, faces the camera against a simple backdrop—just like his memorable appearances at Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival.

Today marks the opening day of Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival, a month long celebration of California culture, and the park is stocked high with gorgeous artwork and top-of-the-line cuisine. Another awesome feature of the event is Celebrity Kitchen lineup, where guess we’ll have the opportunity to attend seminars hosted by celebrity guests and chefs.

Disney Parks Blog has just announced that an additional event has been added to the lineup: Kurt Russell himself will be appearing for a 90 minute question and answer session about his “adventures and personal journey in winemaking”, complete with an exclusive wine tasting. (When aerated, the wine is said to contain delicate hints of Kurt Russell. Succulent to the palate.)

Can’t make the Q&A? Disney’s got you covered. Napa Lounge and Restaurant at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, Steakhouse 55 at Disneyland Hotel and Carthay Circle Restaurant and Lounge in Disney California Adventure park are now presenting Kurt Russell wines by the glass.

Celebrated chefs and culinary personalities, including two in chef coats and another in a T-shirt, join a festival-goer outdoors enjoying wine at the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival.

Here’s the full lineup:

  • April 2: Robert Irvine – Restaurant: Impossible
