Thanks @starbee! It’s the one thing that I have a lot of (maybe too much?) experience with in Disney

This recommendation is for the wine lovers in the group! Have you guys tried the Wine Walk in the World Showcase? For about $20, you get 6 pours of wine (so 2 samples in 3 different countries) All you have to do is go to the wine counter in either Germany, Italy or France and ask for it! You don’t have to finish it all in one day, although we did

Our first stop was in France, we asked the wonderful CM to take a picture of us holding our wines. Santé!

And this is what we found (who says the French have no sense of humor? )

Next stop: Italy! Salute!

And our last stop was Germany (although we made a stop in Italy for a limoncello frozen margarita, because that’s how we roll). Prost!

If you’re looking to try a bunch of different wines, interact with CMs in a few different countries, and not spend a ton of money, then this is something you should definitely try! Cheers!

I didn’t know that was even an option! Definitely looking into this in the future!

@RocketEAR99 It’s really cool, and from what I can tell, not a lot of people know about it! I’m not sure about Italy or France, but at the Weinkeller in Germany you can get wine and cheese plates! So it’s like your own little Food and Wine fest, any time of the year!

This is awesomeness! Thanks for sharing that. I usually am a wine drinker in the winter. But for that price and atmosphere i’ll give it a whirl next trip. Is there different wines to choose from in each Country or is it a set thing?

@kcboston is this a year around thing or only doing food and wine festival?

@jloosh78 I’m pretty sure it’s a set thing, with no substitutions. While all of the wines weren’t ones I’d necessarily order again, it was really fun trying out a bunch of different types that I normally wouldn’t have tried.

@jamiedawn27 This is available year round!

@breesmommy5 is that the pina coLAVA? I’ve had that at a couple of different places. It’s like a pina colada but with strawberries and strawberry puree added. So amazingly delicious!

@kcboston The Wine Walk looks really cool! I’m not a huge wine drinker (despite my French heritage) so I haven’t done it but I do kinda wanna try it! I prefer sweeter wines like white zin and white wines. The only red I usually drink is Gluhwine!
