Within the last couple days the website for 2010 DCA Food & Wine was updated to include some of the Signature Events for this year's festival as well as some changes for the Seminars & Demonstrations, and the new "Taste of California" Marketplace.
The biggest change appears to be the new "Taste of California" Marketplace which appears to be an effort to bring our festival more in line with the "tasting plates" found at the Epcot F&W Festival. Our food laws are very different from Florida which is what prevents our Festival from having Kiosks set up around the park.
It appears that there are less Signature events than in years past. So far no Celebrity events have been announced, (although they may yet to be confirmed), Michael Jordan is no longer conducting the Wine Seminars, and Sweet Sundays have almost doubled in price.
They have omitted one of the winemaker dinners and substituted a brew maker dinner, which sounds quite interesting. Lastly, the complimentary beer, wine a spirit seminars, are now subject to a $1 cash fee payable in the queue.
Has anyone attended the DCA F&W Festival before? Any thoughts on these changes?
