Disney4me Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Hot on the heels of the 2018 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival on the east coast starts the 2018 Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival at Disneyland Resort on the west coast! 2018 Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival And we are taking in all of the bites and sips of California-inspired cuisine along the way! The Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival is ON for the next SIX WEEKS. So, you’ve got until April 12th to take in all of the Food Booths, Special Events, Seminars and Demonstrations, and more that make up all the Festival fun. But we’ve got plenty to share right now, because we have eaten our way through all fourteen Food Booths at this year’s Festival! You can see all of our pics by visiting our 2018 Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival Menus page. (Oh, and the Festival Beer Garden is back, too!) Click HERE to check out photos of ALL THE FOOD on our 2018 Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival Menus page! In the meantime, though, here is a look at our favorites so far… Introducing The BEST of the FEST (and beyond)! Best of the 2018 DCA Food and Wine Festival Petite Guac Burger at Avocado Time It was love at first sight — AND first BITE — with the Avocado & Pepper Jack Petite Guac Burger at Avocado Time! Avocado and Pepper Jack Petite Guac Burger They sure don’t skimp on the guacamole here, and the pepper jack gives this slider just a hint of kick. Popcorn Lemonade Cocktail at Off the Cob I know, I know… it sounds super weird. But the Popcorn Lemonade Cocktail (also available without alcohol) at Off the Cob should not be missed! Popcorn Lemonade with Whipped Cream and Candy Corn Garnish It’s basically lemonade with a fun hint of sugary kettle corn. And the whipped cream and candy corn garnish make it as cute as it is yummy. Jalapeno Popper Mac and Cheese at Peppers Cali-Ente We are LOVING the Jalapeño Popper Mac & Cheese with Bacon at Peppers Cali-Ente. Jalapeño Popper Mac & Cheese with Bacon But it IS super spicy… so don’t say we — or the name of this booth — didn’t warn ya! Strawberry Frose AND Float at Strawberry Patch It was difficult to pick our favorites at the new Strawberry Patch… but we finally narrowed it down to the two sips here, which include the cool and refreshing Strawberry Frose. Strawberry Frose It also includes a returning favorite from last year: the Strawberry-Pineapple Float with Strawberry Popping Pearls! Strawberry Pineapple Float with Strawberry Popping Pearls You might remember this terrific and unique float from when it was located at LA Style in 2017. Same great, fruity flavor, but with a new home at the Strawberry Patch! Compressed Asian Cucumbers at Eat Your Greens Well, they’ve done it. The new Eat Your Greens Booth actually found a way to make us want to do exactly that with the Compressed Asian Cucumbers with Green-Green Sauce, Toasted Almonds, and Sea Beans. Compressed Asian Cucumbers with Green-Green Sauce, Toasted Almonds, and Sea Beans Nope, I’m not kidding. Granted, those greens are helped with some mighty flavorful sauce and almonds… but still ! Bourbon Chocolate Whoopie Pie at I Heart Artichokes The Bourbon Chocolate Whoopie Pie at I Heart Artichokes is another winner. Bourbon Chocolate Whoopie Pie Why? Because bourbon. And chocolate. And WHOOPIE PIE. That’s why! Creamy Mac and Cheese at Garlic Kissed The Creamy Mac and Cheese with Garlic Bread Crumble at Garlic Kissed is just comfort food at its finest. Creamy Mac & Cheese with Garlic Bread Crumble Sometimes pictures really do speak a thousand words, so we’re letting this one that we took today do that for us. YUM. Mimosa Flight at Nuts About Cheese You’ll find the famous Mimosa Flight at Nuts About Cheese this year! Mimosa Flight Included are a Pineapple Mimosa, a Raspberry Mimosa, and a Strawberry Mimosa. Salt & Beer Vinegar Parmesan Chicken Wings at Cluck-A-Doodle-Moo Not only does the new Cluck-A-Doodle Moo have arguably the best Food Booth name at the Festival. It also lands on our list thanks to the Salt & Beer Vinegar Parmesan Chicken Wings! Salt & Beer Vinegar Parmesan Chicken Wings Tasty and savory, and a great portion with four wings, to boot! Meyer Lemon Ginger Mule at Citrus Grove Last year’s Lemon Grove is now the Citrus Grove. But even though the name has changed, this Food Booth has retained some terrific hits, like the returning (and still a favorite) Meyer Lemon Ginger Mule. Meyer Lemon Ginger Mule Cocktail The pucker from the lemon and the zest from the ginger make this one drink we’re especially glad to welcome back. Sweet Corn Nuggets at Off the Cob And, finally, making our list again this year are the Sweet Corn Nuggets with Beef Chili at Off the Cob! Sweet corn nuggets with beef chili, spring onions and sour cream Just like last year, it’s straight up pub grub. Also just like last year, we aren’t complaining about that in the least! Not when the spice from the chili balances the sweet and savory corn nuggets so well. And THAT’S the Best of the Fest! And for now, we’re signing off from sunny — and tasty! — California!!
