Disney4me Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 The 2015 Epcot Food and Wine Festival is less than a month away!The big day is September 25 – that’s the beginning of seven weeks of incredible food and drinks in Epcot! And this year marks the Festival’s 20th anniversary so you know it’s going to be something special.This year’s Culinary Demonstrations, Beverage and Mixology Seminars promise something for everyone; but, the food and drinks at the Marketplace Booths are what we’re most excited about.Today we’re going to showcase two booths – one of which hasn’t been at the Epcot Food and Wine Festival since 2007! We’re talking about fan-favorite Brazil, which returned to the festival in 2013 and the Dominican Republic, which is making a return after several years away from the festival!Dominican Republic Marketplace BoothThe Dominican Republic has been on hiatus since 2007 but is returning to the festival and we can’t wait to try all the dishes from this Caribbean island nation!The booth used will be the brand new-last-year booth that was created for Puerto Rico. With PR not returning to the festival this year, DR will take over that booth and location!The Puerto Rico Booth from last year will now be the Dominican Republic Booth!2015 Dominican Republic Marketplace Booth MenuLechon Asado: Roasted Pork with Mangu, Pickled Red Onions and AvocadoSouffle de Yuca: Yuca Souffle topped with Griddled CheesePescado con Coco: Seared Grouper, Pigeon Peas and Rice, and Coconut SauceCaramel Flan with Roasted PineapplePresidente BeerFrozen Dominican Pina Colada Featuring Don Barcelo Blanco RumFrozen Sugar Cane Cocktail Featuring Don Barcelo Blanco RumThe Dominican Republic will feature all-new dishes including the Pescado con Coco, with Seared Grouper, Pigeon Peas and Rice, and Coconut Sauce.Pescado con Coco — seared grouper pigeon peas and rice and coconut sauceI’m looking forward to trying that Souffle de Yuca.Brazil Marketplace BoothBrazil returned to the Epcot Food and Wine Festival in 2013 and we’re happy to see it back again for 2015!

Either way, I still think it will be a hit like it was last year.Crispy Pork Belly with Black Beans, Onions, Avocado and Cilantro from 2014 — 2015 version may not include AvocadoYou’ll want to make sure to save room for dessert in Brazil because the Cocada – Brazilian Coconut Candy is super yum.Coconut CandyAnd we can’t forget about the beverages! Brazil is serving up Kaiser Brewery Xingu Black Beer, Carnaval Moscato Sparkling White Wine, and the Frozen Caipirinha featuring Leblon Cachaça.Kaiser Brewery Xingu Black BeerBeer is always a good choice, but on those hot Food and Wine Festival days nothing beats a Frozen Caipirinha from Brazil.
