Food & Wine Weekends return to Waldorf Astoria Orlando and Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek September 16 through November 13, 2016 when the two side-by-side properties will host a slew of mouthwatering culinary events and experiences.
Designed to complement the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival (located less than one mile from the property), Food & Wine weekends allow food lovers to explore culinary tastes and experiences minus Epcot's massive crowds.
The program will include a set of signature guest favorites including the eight-flavored macaroon bar, traditional Royal Tea and Bar du Chocolat with champagne tasting, plus four-course tasting dinners at the hotels’ restaurants.
