Food & Wine??

[Maistre Gracey]

We are headed to DLR in May, and we just read that they have a Food & Wine Festival of some sort going on during that time.
We LOVE the festival at WDW, and we don't know what to expect from DLR's..
Do they have the walk up food booths, wine seminars, or anything similar to Party for the Senses? Has anybody here been to both and can compare & contrast for me?

Thanx in advance..

It's not the same as WDW, that's for sure. There aren't really any booths set up with different countries. But the "Taste" party is very similar to PFTS. I have enjoyed each venue very much. My only complaint is that there is not a lot of seating, so you stand quite a bit. The Sweet Sunday's are the same but went up in price here and are a bit overpirced in my book. I believe this year they have a dedicated area with sampling booths for the first time. I know there are a lot of "new" things this year - I for one am really looking forward to it.

Great info.. Thanx!
Do these events need to be booked ahead of time? If so, do I call DLR dining?
Is there a list of events on the Disney website?

Some of the events are booked ahead of time. Some of them are free and you line up on a first come first serve basis. Here's the link to the DLR F&W page.

I went last year for a weekend and I may have some pics. If I find them, I'll post them.

I couldn't find the "food" part, but I found the "wine"

These are from a mixed drink tasting. Alcoholic and non alchohlic mojitos and daiquiri's.
