California Adventure Food & Wine Festival

We visit Disneyland very often but until this year, never planned a road trip during the California Adventure Food & Wine Festival. What a treat! Over spring break we took a family road trip to our favorite Southern California beach town and spent a day in Anaheim exploring everything we love about Disney. After spending hours spinning in teacups we made our way over to California Adventure to explore the food and wine festival.

Easily spend the day navigating your way through the delicious food and celebrity chef demonstrations. The deviled eggs with trout and cream cheese and a mango agua fresca from “Seafood..Sustained” were my favorite of the day but everyone in my family each found something different they loved.

  5. I’ve been to Disney plenty of times but I don’t think I’ve had the chance to attend any of their food and wine festivals. I think it’s awesome and it would be nice to experience this personally.

  8. I’ve always wanted to check out Disney’s Food and Wine Festivals. I live in FL so I’m not too far from DisneyWorld and I’ve heard such great things about the Epcot Food and Wine festival. I can only imagine the one at California Adventure is just as good.
