Napa Valley wines, San Diego beers, Central Coast artichoke hearts and pastries topped with Northern California-grown fruit are on the menu at Disney California Adventure theme park’s 2022 Food & Wine Festival, which opened March 4 and runs through April 26.
This year’s eight-week festival is the 12th produced at Disneyland’s sister park in Anaheim since 2006. The hugely popular festival brings in large and hungry crowds during what’s usually a slow time of year for California tourism. In honor of this spring’s California-centric celebration, the Soarin’ Over California version of the park’s Soarin’ Around the World ride has returned for a limited time.
The festival features chef and mixology demonstrations, children’s cooking-themed stage shows and specialty menus at restaurants throughout the Disneyland Resort and Downtown Disney shopping district. There’s also an extensive variety of California wines, beers and cocktails available for adults located at kiosks and restaurants throughout the park.
