REVIEW: This EPCOT Festival Booth Is a MUST-VISIT Every Year

[Disney4me]

If you are reading this post while hungry, BE WARNED. Seriously, we’re not joking! You’re willing to keep reading? Okay, well then — we’ve got some DELICIOUS details to share with you!

The Alps Booth

The 2024 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival has officially begun, and there is a lot to offer. There are plenty of food booths with tasty items, merchandise items to grab (of course), and even concerts to watch. But don’t let it overwhelm you. We’ve got you covered with everything you need to know. And now we’re heading to one spot in particular — The Alps — to give you the FULL scoop! Is it worth a try? Let’s find out!

Menu

Over at The Alps, you’ll find a variety of available items — but mostly cheese! There are a couple of Warm Raclette Swiss Cheese dishes with various accompaniments. Oh, did we mention the Dark Chocolate Fondue dessert?! Yeah, cheese & chocolate make this a must-do food booth!

Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself!

Eats

First up, we grabbed the Warm Raclette Swiss Cheese with Alpine Ham, Baby Potatoes, Cornichons, and a Baguette for $5.75. Note that this is part of Emile’s Fromage Montage cheese crawl this year! In years past, we thought it was super filling and delicious, and we especially loved the tangy crunch from the cornichons. So how does this dish hold up in 2024?

Warm Swiss Cheese Raclette

It’s really hard to go wrong with this, especially if you’re a cheese fan. It’s definitely a strong cheese that some might call stinky, but that doesn’t mean it’s not delicious. It’s best when you eat it right away — before the cheese has had a chance to stiffen up. The potatoes are cooked well and the ham is perfectly smokey and salty. The baguette is soft and really nice when slathered in cheese — but what isn’t?

SO cheesy

The Raclette is a Food & Wine Festival classic for a reason. Hello — it’s CHEESE! This is a hot, savory snack that feels like a warm, comforting hug. It’s a great portion size; thanks to the ham, we felt nice and full after enjoying this dish. Hot tip: pay attention as they’re preparing your food here! The chefs slice the cheese right off the wheel in front of you, so you can see the cheese melt into a gooey pile of deliciousness live and in person.

You can also get the Warm Raclette Swiss Cheese with Baby Potatoes, Cornichons, and a Baguette (which is the same as the last one, just without the ham) for $5.25.  This dish is also part of Emile’s Fromage Montage cheese crawl, so make sure to get your stamp if you buy this one!

We also grabbed the Dark Chocolate Fondue with Berries, Pound Cake, and Meringues for $6. This is a crowd-pleasing returner from 2023, and we’re SO glad it’s back! It’s a fun little dessert with melted chocolate, pound cake, and berries and when combined with the chocolate everything just tastes SO good.

Now let’s check out the drinks!

Drinks

We got the Frozen Rosé, which cost $9. We liked the balance of dry and sweet flavors in this drink last year, and this year we felt the same! If you’ve ever had Frozen Rosé before, this one tastes the same as every other Rosé drink we’ve tried before. It’s easy to drink, light, and sweet. Our reporter who tried this said that it was the best drink she had tried all day.

You can also grab the Stiegl Brewery Key Lime Radler from Salzburg, Austria, for $5.75/6oz or $9.75/120z. This is a surprising Key Lime beer. It tends to be more floral than fruity in terms of flavor. This beer is definitely on the sweet side; it’s light and refreshing. It’s not as sweet as cider, so don’t expect to drink a cider-like drink here.

So, is the Alps booth a hit again?

OVERALL

YES! Of course, we’re partial because of all the cheese but that’s what makes this booth such a winner for us year after year. We also really enjoyed the chocolate fondue and when it comes to refreshing drinks on a hot day, the frozen rose is a must.

That’s it for this booth, but there’s a LOT more where that came from!
