In just a few days, California Adventure kicks off the 2018 Food and Wine Festival! From March 2 through April 12, Paradise Park will once again transform into a culinary playground, full of surprises, special activities, and tons of delicious drinks and snacks.

During the festival, 13 food and drink stands appear in Paradise Park. Each offers a small menu of dishes inspired by California cuisine, and almost all come with suggested wine pairings.

This year, Hollywood Land will also join in on the Food & Wine fun. Park visitors can stop by periodic food seminars, with guest chefs presenting cooking tips, meal prepping, and other culinary topics. Kids 3-11 can also join the Junior Chef experiences, and learn how to make magical treats all on their own.
