You already know that Fall is the season to celebrate the most delectable eats and finest wines at the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival. You should also know that OrlandoFunTickets.com is the best place to buy discount Disney tickets for Epcot and all of the Orlando attractions. What you might not know is that if you still want to enjoy the Festival but don’t want to spend another day at Epcot, there are celebratory events for you too.

These “out-of-park” experiences offer food and wine lovers the chance to enjoy the experience of the Festival but in a different setting. Anyone interested in learning about wine will definitely want to sign up for “Epcot Wine Schools.” This is a full-day intensive program held every Saturday throughout the Festival, and park admission is not necessary in order to attend. Each session features a continental breakfast, a delightful lunch and a personal certificate to show your completion of the course.

Each week, a different type of wine is featured and that day’s event is hosted by a “prestigious wine authority.” In October, guests will be provided with a series of comprehensive programs featuring specially selected burgundies and wines from Italy, Spain and South America. November’s events will focus on wines from Greece and South Africa.

A select number of guests can sign up for “Discovering Wine: A Sensory Adventure” to be held on only three days throughout the Festival and featuring interactive experiences with California wines. Both wine novices and experts will enjoy this three-hour event as they enjoy a four-course lunch prepared by Chef Phillip Ponticelli at the fabulous Citricos in the Grand Floridian Resort.

For anyone not so crazy about wine, the “Afternoon Tea with Stephen Twining” is the out-of-park event for you. Mr. Twining is a tenth generation descendant of the famous Twining’s Tea family, and he will rely on his family’s rich history to walk guests through his presentation of teas, savories and dainty cakes. This truly tasty tea sipping session can only be experienced the first weekend of October, and it is held at Ariel’s at Disney’s Beach Club Resort, when else but tea time from 3-5 p.m.
