Okay, Disniacs! We are getting closer and closer to the 2020 Food and Wine Festival at Disney California Adventure park. It’s time to start preparing your trip. Let’s start by answering two of the most important questions:
- “When is the California Food at Wine Festival?” February 28, 2020 – April 21, 2020.
- “What’s the same from last year?” Three booths will be returning: “Avocado Time”; “Cluck-a-doodle-moo”; and “Nuts About Cheese.
Now, let’s dive deeper.
Festival Marketplaces
In the marketplaces, you will find a smorgasbord of California food and drinks. In Disney’s own words:
Each kiosk’s menu is inspired by fresh, California-grown ingredients like avocados, berries, citrus, peppers and artisanal cheeses. You’ll also uncover a variety of wines and locally brewed craft beers from across the Golden State.
While we are aware of the three kiosks that are returning, we still have no confirmation of any other new kiosks that we should expect. As for drinks, the Festival Beer Garden with local brews will be stationed in the Paradise Gardens and cocktails can be found at Sonoma Terrace.
Ticketed Events Schedule
Disneyland has another round of separately ticketed events with the select dates:
- Winemaker Reception with Skywalker Vineyards at Carthay Circle Restaurant
- March 20, 2020
- March 27, 2020
- April 10, 2020
- Winemaker Dinner with Silver Oak | Twomey at Steakhouse 55

The festival will also play host to 45-minute seminars that will teach you about Wine and Beer tasting as well as how to unleash your inner mixologist. The dates and times for those seminars are still to be released.
