Epcot wine tasting

[ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!]

This trip we're going to be attending the wine tasting dinner at Jiko's, but we're also interested in finding out if there are any countries in the world showcase that offer a wine tasting. If I'm correct, both France and Germany do, then again I'm not sure. Any help would be appreciated

Thanks!

Italy does as well - it's in the store by the hand of truth statue.
Japan has a sake tasting bar in the department store (or did before the remodel - still there, anyone?)
Morocco has a standalone "cart" that sells glasses of their wines and baklava across the thoroughfare from the rug shop.


I'm not aware of any wines for sale in America, Canada, the UK, Mexico, Scandinavia, or China (at least, at times of the year NOT during the food and wine festival). All of those have beer available from kiosks and counter service.

China has wine at their counter service place. Had it 2 weeks ago. No tasting other than that, but a glass is only $4 (it's very unique!)

Japan has a saki tasting bar, along with lots of saki for sale. It's in the dept store

France has a wine tasting store, with lots of wine (we had 3 2 ounce portions for $6)

Italy has a wine tasting store as well, with lots of wine. Tasting was $9 for 5 2 ounce portions I believe.

Did not see tasting in Germany, though we did beer there. Mexico did not. America might have but we didn't stop there as we don't head to WS to eat American food

Norway had a wine store as well, with tastings.

Morocco had a slew of beverages available at a bar inside Tangerine Cafe - coffee drinks, wine, beer, etc.

Can't remember seeing any in UK, as we did beer there as well.

I have had the flight at Germany, Italy and France. I like Germany the best. I did not know that Norway offered a tasting, in fact I don't even remember seeing wine for sale there. I wish I weren't such a light weight, I had to give 3 of the 5 wines away in Germany (they were more than 2 oz each, very generous pour) after my margarita from Mexico .

Germany has wine tasting (a must for my mom). I believe for $5 or $6 you get to taste four different wines !!

I knew that Germany, France and Italy had wine tastings.....but I didn't know Jiko and Wine Pairings. Could you please elaborate a little; definitely something Dh and I would be interested in. Thanks!

It's not simply a wine flight (as can be found at Marthas vineyard and some epcot countries) but it is an actual dinner with paired wines held the first Thursday of every month.The cost is $130 and I'm assuming it's somewhat similar to V&A chefs table. Either way, the only info I've read on it has been here on disboards, but I was so marveled by it, I told DF it was a must do this trip
