Two of the four new global marketplaces scheduled to join the 2023 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival late have appeared in the park.
Four New Global Marketplaces Joining Food & Wine
The new venues will be Char & Chop, Wine & Wedge, Bubbles & Brine, and Swirled Showcase. This booth will house one of those four.
This global marketplace is located between Port of Entry and Disney Traders. We first spotted it on August 22. It used white columns on the corners as well as some lamps near the roof.
This marketplace is also new, we first spotted it on August 27. It is located between the marketplace we shared above and the Noodle Exchange booth.
This one is similar in design but with darker wood beams.

2023 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival
The 2023 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival runs from July 27 through November 18. In addition to the Eat to the Beat Concert Series, there are a number of other events, marketplaces and opportunities to purchase food and beverages from themed booths.
The Muppets are also joining in on the fun, offering a new “Brew-Wing Lab” tasting experience hosted by Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker.
That’s right – Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and his faithful assistant, Beaker, of Muppet Labs will welcome you to their taste-testing headquarters, where the inventive duo are busy creating scientific snacks and mind-blowing beverages. You’ll have a chance to sample some of their kooky concoctions like the Unnecessarily Spicy, Yet Extremely Tasty Scotch Bonnet Pepper-Curry Wings, or the Pickle Milkshake. Consider it a flavor experiment in the name of science!
Special festival dishes and drinks are also available at permanent EPCOT dining locations, including: Connections Café, Connections Eatery, Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Company, Refreshment Port, Tangierine Café: Flavors of the Medina, Funnel Cake, and Refreshment Outpost.
