The Epcot International Food and Wine Festival may have been Florida’s favorite food and wine festival for nearly 20 years, but Busch Gardens is introducing an all-new flavor into the mix with their inaugural Busch Gardens Food and Wine Festival.

.

If you’re staying in Orlando, Busch Gardens is just about an hour’s drive west on I-4, and it looks like their first ever food and wine festival will make the short trip well worth it. You’ll be able to unleash your inner foodie with an exciting variety of foods to choose from. Sample everything from savory lamb and duck to traditional comfort foods like bacon mac and cheese and strawberry shortcake. Other delectable dishes include jerk chicken sliders, fire-braised pork chops, short ribs, pan-seared shrimp and more.

For their inaugural foodie festival, Busch Gardens has gone all out with more than just the food. They will also be presenting a host of concerts from some of the biggest names in music. Gavin Degraw will step take the stage March 7, with acts like Daddy Yankee, Josh Turner, Daughtry and Kenny Rogers all taking the stage later in the month and into April.
