Disney4me Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is underway, and we’ve been enjoying everything the festival offers. 2024 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival There’s obviously a LOT of food to try at all the various food booths, and we spent the first weekend of the festival tasting EVERYTHING. Then there’s some fun entertainment, including the Eat to the Beat concert series where you can catch some live music from some pretty notable artists during the festival. However, there are also a lot of festival drinks, and we’ve told you about some of our favorites, but now we’ve got to tell you which ones you need to avoid. So let’s get to those drinks you should just not bother with. Belgium At the Belgium booth, you can get the Belgian Chilled Coffee, which is basically a cold coffee with cream and sugar. That’s it. It’s nothing special, and it was basically pretty bland, especially when you compare it to the Joffrey’s offerings for the festival. Belgian Chilled Coffee We didn’t hate it, but we just want to tell you not to spend your money on it and try something else instead. There is a boozy version with ChocoLat Deluxe Salted Caramel Chocolate Liqueur available, and that COULD be a little better. Read our full Belgium review here Brew-Wing Lab It should come as no surprise that the booth that gave us the Pickle Milkshake has also given us the 3 Daughters Brewing Pickle Hard Seltzer, and if that sounds gross to you, trust us, IT IS GROSS. That’s literally the word our reporter used after tasting it. Just say no to pickle seltzer (on the far left) So basically imagine the worst, and you might be close to what it tastes like: sorta like super salty water with a hint of sweetness. Yep, disgusting. Read our full review of Brew-Wing China The China booth this year was kinda a big fail for us, and that included the Mango Peach Bubble Tea, made with Green tea, mango and peach syrups, and white boba. First, there was no boba in it — like it was missing from ours. That’s a bit of an oversight. Mango Peach Bubble Tea But also, this tea did not taste like real mango. Instead, it tasted artificial, and that’s a real downer. So, we’re going to stick with our initial assessment of this food booth and tell you to skip it. Read our full review of the China booth Italy Oh, Italy booth. You were SUCH a big disappointment, and we’re still not quite over those weird nachos you’re serving. However, we need to talk about the Bellini Spritz. It’s a new offering this year, but it’s very strong, VERY tart (we’re talking lip-puckering stuff), and bitter. Bellini Spritz Overall, we thought it tasted like medicine! If you don’t like spritzes, you certainly won’t like this one, but even if you do, you still might not like this one. Read our full review of Italy Swirled Showcase The Daughters Toasted Coconut Porter Float with vanilla soft-serve is a BIG skip for us. These are flavors that just did not blend well at all, and there’s a VERY bitter aftertaste. YUCK. The Coconut Float The other two drinks here, the Frozen Apple Pie and the Berry-vanilla Float made with La Gioiosa Berry Fizz and vanilla soft-serve were also big SKIPS for us — so just don’t get ANYTHING to drink here. These are drinks Disney should not have thought to “showcase.” Read our full review of Swirled Showcase So, if you’re headed to the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, steer clear of these drinks if you come across them.
