*NEW* Korean BBQ Wings – $7.75
with gochujang barbecue sauce and toasted sesame

It took a second for the spice to cut through the sauce, but the coating is crispy with juicy, tender chicken inside. These are very messy, but were tasty. Maybe take some baby wipes to clean your hands after.

Rank out of 7: 5

Hard Cider Flight – $12.75

• BRLO Wild Berries Hard Cider 
• Ciderboys Pumpkin Spice Hard Cider
• Collective Arts Brewing Local Press Apple & Cherry Hard Cider 

The Collective Arts Apple & Cherry Cider was much heavier on the apple flavor (Ranking: 3/7). We did not get much of the cherry flavor. The BRLO Wild Berries Cider was delicious. It has a strong berry flavor without being overly sweet (Ranking: 6/7). The Ciderboys Pumpkin Spice Hard Cider was nice as well. It was not super heavy on the pumpkin spice, so if you don’t love that flavor, you might still be okay with this cider (Ranking: 5/7).

Overall Rank out of 7: 5

Beer Flight – $12.75

• Boulevard Brewing Co. Space Camper Juice Nova Superstellar IPA 
• BrewDog 95 Tropical Session IPA 
• Crooked Can Brewing Company Raspberry Blanc Wheat Beer

The Raspberry Blanc was very good and not overly sweet or fruity (Ranking: 5/7). The Tropical Session IPA has a great tropical flavor without the typical IPA bitterness(Ranking: 5/7). The Space Camper Juice was good, but there was nothing special about it (Ranking: 4/7).

Overall Rank out of 7: 5

Location of Brew-Wing Lab at the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival

Connections Eatery

Food:

Beverages:

• 🆕Passion Fruit Cream Slush – $6.49

*NEW* French Onion Burger – $14.49
Gourmet beef blend, caramelized onions, and Gruyère cheese on a toasted brioche bun 

This is a full entrée, not just a sample, and it was outstanding. It was possibly the thickest counter service burger we have ever had, and the bun was buttery and soft. The French Onion flavor was perfection and the included fries were delicious too.

Rank out of 7: 7

*NEW* Passion Fruit Cream Slush – $6.49
Passion fruit, evaporated milk, vanilla syrup, and coconut cream (Non-alcoholic; spirited version available with rum)

This was actually very good. Passion fruit is not always our favorite, but this avoids an overly strong flavor. It is refreshing, and if you like passion fruit, we think you’d really love this.

Rank out of 7: 4

Location of Connections Eatery at the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival

Connections Eatery can be found in World Celebration, with the main entrance near Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. You can find it at labeled on the map below.

Food:

• 🆕Rodizio-style Grilled Beef Skewer – $7.00

*NEW* Rodizio-style Grilled Beef Skewer – $7.00
with marble potatoes, charred shallots, roasted baby peppers, and chimichurri

We were given a large serving size of this dish and were impressed by the tenderness of the meat. The flavor is great and overall, this dish is an excellent value for the cost.

Rank out of 7: 7

Location of Flavors from Fire at the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival

Beverage:

• 🆕Remy Milk Shake (Non-alcoholic) – $10.99

*NEW* Remy Milk Shake (Non-alcoholic) – $10.99
Strawberry-cheesecake milk shake topped with a cookie, mini cheesecake, white chocolate Eiffel tower, and a strawberry

This is presented very well. The taste was equally fantastic. This tastes as if strawberry cheesecake was made with strawberry Nesquik. The adorable toppings taste good in addition to the shake itself. This is a contender for Best of the Fest.

Rank out of 7: 7

Location of Sunshine Seasons at the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival

Sunshine Seasons can be found on the lower level of The Land, across from the entrances to Living with the Land and Soarin’ Around the World. You can find it labeled on the map below.

Australia

Food:

• 🆕Mixed Berry Pavlova – $4.75

*NEW* Mixed Berry Pavlova – $4.75
with crunchy meringue shell, macerated berries, and whipped cream

The flavors in this dish are good. The berries were fresh and tasty, and the whipped cream was standard, but the meringue was tough and off-putting. We do not feel this really works as an overall dish.

Rank out of 7: 2

Location of the Australia Global Marketplace at the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival

The Australia Global Marketplace is located on World Showcase Plaza near Disney Traders. You can find at number 7 on the map below.

• 🆕Strawberry-Pomegranate Margarita – $13.25

*NEW* Tostada de Carnitas – $8
Braised Pork atop a fried corn tortilla with chipotle black beans, salsa ranchera, crema Mexicana, and queso fresco

This was good, and the pork was nice and tender. However, there is nothing special about this dish.

Rank out of 7: 3

*NEW* Flan de Cajeta – $6.75
Creamy Mexican custard with caramel sauce and toasted almonds

This is not extraordinary, but if you are looking for something sweet, this will hit the right notes. Overall, a solid very creamy dish with a nice caramel flavor.

Rank out of 7: 5

*NEW* Clarita Margarita – $13.75
Cristalino Tequila, orange liqueur, and clarified lemon juice

If you want a strong margarita that just tasted like a margarita (or very smooth tequila), this is the drink for you. With the poor track record of Mexico Booth margaritas, this one is possibly the best we’ve had.

Rank out of 7: 4

*NEW* Strawberry-Pomegranate Margarita – $13.25
100% Agave Blanco Tequila, Joven Mezcal, pomegranate liqueur, strawberry purée, and spicy agave

The tasted overwhelmingly like salted pomegranate and bad liquor. The other margarita tasted much better. and is less messy without the sticky rim.

Rank out of 7: 1

Location of the Mexico Global Marketplace at the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival

The Mexico Global Marketplace is conveniently located on the water side of World Showcase Promenade adjacent to La Cantina de San Angel. You can find it at number 8 on the map below.

• 🆕Frozen Strawberry-Jasmine Cocktail – $14.25

*NEW* Beijing Zhajiang Noodles – $8.50
with stir-fried minced beef, cucumber, chili, and carrots in a savory douban sauce

The minced beef is very well season, but there is not much of it. The noodles are very salty and oily. Overall, a very forgettable dish.

Rank out of 7: 3

*NEW* Hainan Prosperity – $14.50
Tequila, vodka, Minute Maid Orange Juice, and mango syrup

This is exactly what it say it is: tequila, vodka, Minute Maid Orange Juice, and mango syrup. The basic flavor comes from the orange and mango juices, but overall this is nothing special.

Rank out of 7: 4

*NEW* Frozen Strawberry-Jasmine Cocktail – $14.25
Light rum, jasmine tea, and strawberry syrup

This is a very juice-forward drink with a natural strawberry flavor. There is a slight taste of the jasmine tea and rum for an overall refreshing drink.

Rank out of 7: 4

The China Global Marketplace is conveniently located directly across from the China Pavilion on World Showcase Promenade. You can find it at number 9 on the map below.

Food:

Beverages:

• 🆕Bold Rock Apple Crumble Hard Cider – $12.00

*NEW* Berbere-spiced Beef Stew – $6.75
with sweet potato mealie pap and kachumbari slaw

This dish is a little hearty for hot weather but would be good moving into the cooler months. It tastes like a basic beef stew and was slightly dry.

Rank out of 7: 3

*NEW* South African Cream Liqueur Chocolate Mousse- $6.25

with chocolate ganache and chocolate-covered popping candy  

This was really good. The dark chocolate cake was nice and moist, and the mousse was very light. The cookie adds to the flavor profile in a nice way, as well.

Rank out of 7: 6

Location of Refreshment Outpost at the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival

Refreshment Outpost is located on World Showcase Promenade, just over the drawbridge from the China Pavilion. You can find it at number 11 on the map below.

*NEW* Kirschwasser Torte – $5.50
with cherry-brandy buttercream, fondant, sugared almonds, and cherry compote

We had higher expectations for this dish, but it was dry and had an artificial taste.

Rank out of 7: 2

Sommerfest

Food:

• 🆕Zwiebelkuchen – $9.79

*NEW* Zwiebelkuchen – $9.79
German onion cake with caramelized onions, bacon, herbs, and a savory custard

This looks and tastes great. It sort of reminded us a French Onion soup in tart form. It is very onion-forward and cheesy. We would have this again.

Rank out of 7: 5

Location of Sommerfest at the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival

Sommerfest can be found at the back of the Germany Pavilion, across from the entrance to Biergarten Restaurant. You can find it labeled on the map below.

• 🆕Basque Cheesecake – $5.25

Beverages:

• 🆕Summer in Spain – $12.50

*NEW* Trio de Pintxos – $7.25
Jamón croqueta, pan con tomate, and tortilla Española

The croqueta was very good with a crispy exterior and doughy interior. The cream on the top was a nice touch, as well. The pan con tomate was also pretty good for a food booth item. The tortilla Española was our least favorite of the trio. It was basically a soft tortilla with a Thousand Island-like dressing on the top.

Rank out of 7: 5

*NEW* Paella Caldoso – $8.00
with rock shrimp, bay scallops, and smoked mussels

This paella was not great. The rice was undercooked and the seafood provided a very fishy taste. Although the presentation was beautiful, the dish is not something we would get again.

Rank out of 7: 2

*NEW* Basque Cheesecake – $5.25
with orange sauce

The was really good. It was a very light cheesecake, and the orange sauce did not overpower the cake itself. While it is a large slice, one person could likely eat this due to the lightness of the cheesecake. We would 100% get this again.

Rank out of 7: 7

*NEW* Summer in Spain – $12.50
Frozen Simply Lemonade with Yellow Chartreuse Liqueur and Green Chartreuse Liqueur

This was served very cold and icy, but was definitely not a slush. It has a sharp, bitter flavor, and the liqueur does not cut through the tartness of the lemonade.

Rank out of 7: 2

Location of the Spain Global Marketplace at the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival

The Spain Global Marketplace is located between the Germany and Italy Pavilions on World Showcase Promenade. You can find it at number 14 on the map below.

*NEW* Bacetti ‘Kisses’ di Pizza, Traditional Napoli Street Food – $8.75
Pizza dough, pepperoni, mozzarella, and tomato sauce

This is extremely thick and doughy, but for the Italy Booth this was actually pretty good. Considering the overall festival, however, it isn’t anything special. It reminded us of something you could microwave at home.

Rank out of 7: 3

*NEW* Tortellini alla Vodka – $8.00
Four-cheese tortellini, vodka sauce, parmesan, and calabrian chili oil

This was better than it looks, but it tastes like it was frozen and thrown in the microwave.

Rank out of 7: 2

*NEW* Chocolate Spuma – $5.75
Chocolate mousse, caramel sauce, espresso whipped cream, and puffed rice

The is a simple, straightforward chocolate mousse: basic, but edible.

Beverage:

• 🆕Cherry-Lime Slush (Non-alcoholic) – $6.49

*NEW* Cherry-Lime Slush (Non-alcoholic) – $6.49
Frozen Minute Maid Cherry Limeade with cherry syrup

*NEW* Gulf Coast-style Seafood Roll – $8.75
with warm-water lobster, rock shrimp, lobster bisque, and sherry-crème fraîche on a toasted brioche bun

While this comes with butter to dip in, the roll does not need it. This was very good. The lobster was great and not fishy tasting at all.

Rank out of 7: 7

*NEW* New England Slider – $6.00
Slow-braised beef pot roast with spicy giardiniera, horseradish cream, and crispy fried onions on a potato roll

This was okay. It has a nice spice and smoky flavor, and the beef was also tender.

Rank out of 7: 5

Beer Flight – $12.75

• Harpoon Brewery Flannel Friday Hoppy Amber Ale – $5.75 for 6 oz./ $9.75 for 12 oz.

• von Trapp Brewing Natür Helles Lager – $5.75 for 6 oz./ $9.75 for 12 oz.

The Pumpkin Cheesecake Blonde was disappointing with a medicinal flavor (Rating: 3/7). The Helles Lager was slightly better and just okay (Rating: 4/7). The Amber Ale was divisive. It was not extremely hoppy, but again, it was just okay (Rating: 4/7).

*NEW* Huckleberry Funnel Cake – $12

*NEW* Beef Wagyu Don – $9.50
Traditional Japanese rice bowl with American wagyu beef blend over steamed white rice served with homemade pickles, shredded togarashi pepper, and pickled ginger

There is a very vinegar-heavy flavor in this dish. It almost tastes like a ground up McDonald’s hamburger on rice. It isn’t bad, and everything is cooked well. This is just not something we would get again.

Rank out of 7: 4

*NEW* Osakana Karaage – $8.50
Crispy-fried pollock with spicy mayonnaise and a sweet-and-creamy yuzu sauce 

This is better than we expected, although not the best snack for a hot Florida day. It is composed of a soft breading and pollock fish cake. The sweet-and-creamy yuzu sauce added a nice flavor, as well.

Rank out of 7: 6

*NEW* Peachy Mango Boba (Non-alcoholic) – $7.00
Crafted Calpico Peach Juice with mango popping boba

This had a very strong artificial flavor from the Calpico. It was also not served chilled and definitely needs to be.

Rank out of 7: 3

*NEW* Sake-Politan Cocktail – $8.75
Sake with Simply Cranberry Juice and a hint of yuzu

The sweetness of this overpowers the sake flavor. It is also very sticky and syrupy.

• 🆕Keel Farms Golden Apple Chai Hard Cider – $5.75 for 6 oz./ $9.75 for 12 oz.

*NEW* Moroccan Wrap – $6.25
with tomato-cucumber relish and garlic sauce served on warm moroccan flatbread

Choice of: Chermoula Chicken, Moroccan-spiced Lamb, or Plant-based Falafel

The pita bread used for these is not great and tastes store-bought. The chermoula chicken version was okay, and we enjoyed the veggies. However, it needed more spice and seasoning Rating: 4/7). The Moroccan-spiced Lamb was a much better. It was slightly dry, but with all the vegetables, it made for a decent wrap (Rating: 5/7). The plant-based falafel was also very dry and didn’t taste great (Rating 3/7).

Overall Rank out of 7: 4

*NEW* Keel Farms Golden Apple Chai Hard Cider – $5.75 for 6 oz./ $9.75 for 12 oz.

The new cider out of this bunch was the Keel Farms Golden Apple Chai Hard Cider. It was okay, but if we were to suggest one from the flight, we would go for the Keel Farms Blackberry-Pear Hard Cider.

Rank out of 7: 6

*NEW* Brioche aux Epices Avec Une Garniture Mornay de Trois Fromages – $8.50
Spiced brioche with a three-cheese mornay filling

This is very good for a simple cheese and bread dish. There is an unexpected savory flavor that we really enjoyed. The portion of cheese and bread is nice, and we would get this again.

Rank out of 7: 6

*NEW* Trio d’Escargots, Garniture a l’ail et au Persil – $8.85
Trio of escargot bites in croissant dough served with a garlic-parsley dip

While the pastry is buttery and flaky, it is also slightly dry. We also wish the proportion would have leaned more toward the escargot rather than the croissant. Overall, these are good with a great sauce.

Rank out of 7: 5

*NEW* Crème Brûlée Vanille, Confiture Myrtilles et Citron Vert – $6.95
Vanilla crème brûlée with blueberry-lime compote

• 🆕Strawberry Champagne Trifle (Plant-based) – $5.75

*NEW* Strawberry Champagne Trifle (Plant-based) – $5.75

The was weird. It has a clear, sparkling layer that added a strange consistency. Eating this is like drinking champagne jello. The strawberry flavor is nice, but the champagne gel kills the rest of the dish. Our tip would be to mix it up to combine flavors for the best taste.

with vanilla-butternut squash purée, brussels sprouts salad, candied pecans, spiced pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, and maple dressing

This was presented beautifully, and the skin was very crispy. We questioned if this was actually from a booth. The fish is perfectly cooked and tastes like it could be served at a table service. The butternut squash purée and brussels sprouts salad also gave it a dimensional flavor that surprised us. We will get this again.

Rank out of 7: 7

*NEW* Apple-Cinnamon and Caramel Mini Churros Sundae – $5.25

with root vegetables, plant-based cheddar, and plant-based sour cream in a bread bowl

The meat did not have a good consistency, and there was not much spice. The bread wasn’t bad, but it was very dry. This was disappointing and mushy.

Rank out of 7: 2

*NEW* Schiacciata Sandwich – $6.25
Mortadella, prosciutto ham, sun-dried peppers, arugula, stracciatella cheese, fall squash mostarda, and pistachio pesto on warm focaccia

Rank out of 7: 7

*NEW* Strawberry Beer Float – $13.25
Früli Strawberry Belgian White Beer and vanilla soft-serve

Although an odd pairing, this works. The beer is very strawberry-forward, so it pairs well with the ice cream. We would not necessarily get this again, but it might be for you. In a world where beer and ice cream shouldn’t go together, it’s better than average.

*NEW* Butterscotch Cookie Cold Brew (The American Adventure) (Non-alcoholic) – $6.79
Joffrey’s French Roast Cold Brew, cookie butter syrup, and butterscotch syrup topped with whipped cream and sea salt caramel toffee sauce

We opted for the alcoholic version of this drink, and it was fantastic. It tasted like a Biscoff Cookie mixed with cold brew and Bailey’s. We do not normally give perfect ratings to coffee drinks, but this one earns it.

*NEW* Fudge Brownie Cold Brew (Near Disney Traders) (Non-alcoholic) – $6.79
Joffrey’s Shakin’ Jamaican Cold Brew, Irish cream syrup, and dark chocolate sauce topped with whipped cream, dark chocolate sauce, and chocolate powder

We opted for the alcoholic version of this drink, but we were overall disappointed with the coffee. It has a bitter flavor and graininess from one of the ingredients.

*NEW* Crème Brûlée Cold Brew (Between UK and Canada) (Non-alcoholic) – $6.79
Joffrey’s French Roast Cold Brew and crème caramel syrup topped with whipped cream and caramel sauce

As with the other, we opted purchased this coffee drink with alcohol. This one was equally good. We would get this again.

*NEW* Churro Latte (Near Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind) (Non-alcoholic) – $6.79
Espresso with choice of milk, dulce de leche sauce, and cinnamon syrup topped with whipped cream and cinnamon

We opted to get the option with Bailey’s Original Irish Cream Liqueur for $14.99. There was a slight chalky texture from the topping, and this could be compared to an alcoholic chocolate milk with a hint of cinnamon. However, it was very tasty, and we would order it again.
