The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic returns for its 10th year Friday, November 8 and Saturday, November 9. Celebrating a decade of food and fun, the Food & Wine Classic treats guests to a street party festival with unlimited food tastings at more than 90 stations, featuring culinary selections from the hotel’s award-winning restaurants and wine from around the world amidst a festive backdrop of live entertainment on the hotel’s scenic causeway. The event also includes hands-on seminars with the hotel’s chefs and certified beverage experts.

In honor of the 10th year, a surf party-themed area called Hang 10 will debut on the resort’s white sand beach. The space will immerse guests in a beach party with a live band, decorations and two new dishes from the hotel’s award-winning food and beverage team:

• Fry Basket – featuring clams, shrimp, oysters and fries seasoned with malt vinegar and served with lemon and traditional tartar sauce

• Hearts of Palm Ceviche – thinly sliced fresh hearts of palm, lime juice, Bermuda onion, bell pepper and chili peppers

The area will offer refreshing new beverage selections, including Spritzes and hard seltzer water.

Hang 10 will join the festival’s other returning themed areas: The Pig and The Poke, Chinatown, Carnival Corner, The Bubble Lounge and a beer garden.
