Food & Wine Festival rolls out its menu

- By Brady Macdonald bmacdonald@scng.com

Disneyland has released the full menu lineup for this year’s Food & Wine Festival, which will bring California-centric food, beer and wine; celebrity chefs; and Disney characters dressed in their best foodie attire to Disney California Adventure.

The gathering runs March 1 through April 22 with local, celebrity and Disney chefs offering cooking tips during culinary demonstrat­ions, tasting seminars and signature events.

Ten festival marketplac­e booths will offer small plates highlighti­ng California-grown ingredient­s. California Adventure eateries and food stands as well as Downtown Disney restaurant­s will also serve festival fare.

Sip and Savor passes are back this year: prepaid cards with eight tabs good for individual items at food and beverage stands throughout the event. Disney has not released prices for the cards, but last year they cost $59, with a $5 discount for Magic Key annual passholder­s.

Fans of the ride Soarin’ Over California will get another chance to hang glide over Napa Valley, Monterey Bay and Redwood Creek when the classic version of the flight simulator returns during the fest.

Here’s the menu lineup for its food booths and restaurant­s.
