Food stations showcasing the creations from eminent chefs from around the USA paired with fine wines from around the world combined with the sights and sounds of Cirque du Soleil. Fairview will be there on 2 October and pouring Viognier, Shiraz and Pinotage. Our sister cellar, The Spice Route Winery will be there on 9 October and pouring Chenin Blanc, Pinotage and Chakalaka.
Separate from the Epcot Food & Wine Festival but still at Walt Disney World, Fairview, La Capra and Goats do Roam wines will be featured at the Mombasa Market Place in the Animal Kingdom Theme Park on Sunday, 10 October. The wines will be available for both tasting and purchasing and Robin Back will be there from 11:00am-12:30pm and 1:30pm-3:30pm to talk about the wines and sign bottles.
Please note that for the Disney events, theme park admission is required in addition to tickets for the actual events. Advance ticket purchase is advised to avoid disappointment.
