Successful “Sip, Savor & Stay” mini food and wine events earlier this year have prompted the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort to plan another foodie night out.  The Spring Food & Wine Classic will take place Saturday, April 17, from 5:30-8:00 pm, and will serve up not only an array of tempting dishes from the Swan and Dolphin’s award-winning restaurants, but wine and beverage selections from around the world, along with an evening of live entertainment. 



The limited-ticket, 21-and-over event offers 12 food stations and more than 50 beverage options, and is an all-inclusive evening.  As a highlight of the themed food stations, guests will be introduced to a signature dish from the upcoming expansion of the Walt Disney World Swan Reserve.


Non-refundable tickets to the event are $125 each, and room packages are also available starting at $400. The room package includes 2 tickets to the event. Guests can purchase tickets online, or by calling direct at 1-800-227-1500.


The event will be held outdoors in the Swan and Dolphin’s gardens, but guests will also have their temperature checked on the way in, and must be wearing masks when they are not stationary, and not actively eating or drinking. Plexiglass walls will be in place for all food service stations, and touchless menus and clearly marked physical distancing signage will be available.
