Disneyland Food & Wine Festival 2025 Menus & Must-Try Items

Everything you need to know about the 2025 Disneyland food and wine festival menus at Disney California Adventure Park! Full reviews, the best things to eat, and the best things to use your Sip & Savor pass on are all included in this post!

Disneyland Food & Wine Festival Food Guide

I’ve been to the Disneyland Food and Wine Festival every year it’s been offered the past few years! And just as a side note, the festival is actually in Disney’s California Adventure Park at Disneyland Resort – Disneyland is just easier to type!

This year I took my sister (and brother) along with me and we had a blast trying everything on the Disney California Adventure food & wine festival menus! Having both of us trying things out will hopefully mean these reviews are sound and well-rounded, not just my picky no-onion eating opinions!

Along with the menu for this year, I’ve also included a photo of the food and our reviews from this year. There were a couple of items that were returning from previous festivals so unless they were substantially changed, I just included my photo and review from previous years.

I’ve broken this guide out by festival marketplace booth and other food locations so it’s easier to find everything you’re looking for!

Let’s get onto all the Disneyland food at the Disney California Adventure Food and Wine festival!

Food & Wine Festival Marketplace Kiosks

There are only 8 marketplace food booths at this year’s festival (compared to 10+ in past years), so the festival is a bit smaller than year’s past.

Each marketplace has a specific theme to the booth’s eats! You can find the full menus for each of these on the Disneyland app or website.

I was sad to see them drop some of my previous favorites like D-Lish and Nuts About Cheese this year. There are fewer marketplaces than previous years but there was one added – Mercado de Antojos that had some fun offerings!

1. California Craft Brews
2. Cluck A Doodle Moo
3. Garlic Kissed
4. Golden Dreams
5. LA Style
6. Mercado de Antojos
7. Peppers Cali-ente
8. Uncork California

In addition to the actual marketplace booths, there are a number of festival specific food items at other restaurants in California Adventure (you get tasting size portions), and I’ve included those at the bottom of this post.

Disneyland Sip and Savor Pass

One of the key things to note is that Disney brought back the Sip and Savor Pass this year, which is a way to get discounted food items if used correctly.

There are two different Sip and Savor Pass options this year, which was new in 2024 and brought back this year in year 2025!

1. The first is the same as previous years that gets you eight food items and non-alcoholic beverages. This one is $58 for Magic Key Holders and $63 for non-Magic Key Holders.
2. The second is a smaller pass that gets you four food items or non0alcoholic beverages. This one is $32 for Magic Key Holders and non-Magic Key Holders.

Both come with a lanyard and a digital code to scan when you use it to purchase items. This is SO much better than the little tabs you had to keep track of in previous years!

Best Items to Use Your Sip & Savor Pass

The break even point for items for the larger pass is $7.25 for Magic Key passes and $7.87 for non Magic Key Holder passes (and $8 for the four item pass), which means that you want to use your pass for food items that are more than that to break even on the pass – otherwise, just buy the items individually.

The best items to use your Sip and Savor pass on value wise (not necessarily taste wise – see our reviews below for thoughts on all of the actual food) from the marketplaces are:

1. Lemon Pepper Wings from California Craft Brews ($9.00)
2. Asa’DOS from Cluck-A-Doodle-Moo ($9.75)
3. Sirloin Gruyere Mac & Cheese from Garlic Kissed ($9.00)
4. Musubi Fried Rice from Golden Dreams ($8.50)
5. Western BBQ Burger Bao from LA Style ($9.50)
6. Birria Mac & Cheese from Mercado de Antojos ($9.00)
7. Shrimp Papas Locas from Peppers Cali-ente ($9.25)
8. Mickey-shaped Macaron made with Snickers bar pieces ($8.50)

2025 Disneyland Food and Wine Festival Menus

We just got back from the festival and let me tell you – most of everything on the menus was delicious! Some obvious standouts and some that we wouldn’t get again but in general, things were yummy!

I’ve included our agreed upon rating (out of 10) as well as a photo and our review for each of the food and non-alcoholic drink items below.

One thing to note – taste buds are subjective. We may have loved something that other people on the internet didn’t, and we definitely didn’t like some of the things I’ve seen people raving about. It happens – we’re all different and can only give you our personal opinions on things. If you don’t agree, that’s okay.

Now let’s get to the food – I’ve broken it out by food booths. Also, I did not include wine in this list because I don’t personally drink wine, but rest assured there is plenty of wine and other alcoholic beverages available at various locations!

Uncork California

In the past Uncork has always featured a dessert of some kind and a fruit and cheese plate. I personally really enjoyed the simple cheese plate but can see why it may not have been that popular to bring back!

This year it’s just a repeat dessert from previous years but a good one at least.

• SNICKERS Caramel-Peanut Milk Chocolate Mickey Macaron: Chocolate Mickey macaron filled with caramel ganache and SNICKERS pieces

I always want to be amazed by the Snickers Mickey macaron and it was good, but we weren’t blown away by the Mickey-shaped cookie.

It’s possible because we were comparing it to the Raspberry Rose Mickey Macaron (on my list of best Disneyland food), which is mind-blowingly good. But it’s good if you like Snickers and still not to be skipped. You should also try this Snickers pie! 8/10

Golden Dreams

In year’s past, Golden Dreams has had a very unique set of menu items. This year they had two unique ones – a fried rice and a cherry cobbler. Both were just okay.

• Musubi Fried Rice (NEW) with egg, glazed spiced ham, umami mayo, and furikake – this is supposed to be Aulani resort-inspired
• Cherry Cobbler Pot De Crème (NEW) with vanilla custard, cherry filling, and oat crumble

The musubi fried rice might’ve been good if the rice hadn’t been so dry, like it’d be sitting there for a while. It was okay but not great and our entire group gave it a 5/10. Definitely not as good as our better than takeout ham fried rice.

I love the butterbeer pot de creme at Universal Studios and honestly normally love pot de cremes in general. This was not a pot de creme, or at least not the kind I’ve had in the past that are kind of like a cross between a thick pudding and custard.

Our group enjoyed the cherry cobbler okay but not enough that anyone would say it’s a must-try or something they’d get a second of. I would’ve liked for this to have a sweet cream on top. 6/10

California Craft Brews (just past Buena Vista Street toward Cars Land)

The craft brews menu features quite a few brews of course, but they did have one two food items this year, both savory compared to their normal savory and sweet options! Plus, a decent non-alcoholic drink option!

They’ve also taken over the wings this year from Cluck-A-Doodle-Moo (which I find weird, but whatever).

• Lemon Pepper Wings (NEW) with garlic ranch – you can get these at Smokejumpers Grill (over by Soarin) as well and honestly, they might be better there!
• Sloppy Joe Slider (NEW) featuring impossible beef
• California Punch with mango purée, guava nectar, cucumber syrup, and lemon juice garnished with a mango chile lollipop

This was probably the worst showing of wings that we’ve seen so far. Normally they’re at least an 8 on our rating scale but this year they were just fine, nothing amazing and there were definitely better options out there! The chicken wings themselves were decent, but the ranch was not great. 6/10

For the sloppy joe slider, you’d never know that it was impossible beef if you didn’t read the sign and the flavor was great so if you like sloppy joes, this is a good option to try this year!

The California punch itself was tasty, but we would’ve preferred it without the mango chile lollipop. Disneyland really likes their chile seasoning (aka tajín), and we don’t. You can probably ask for the punch without the lollipop but know that you’re paying for it anyway (this drink is more expensive than other non-alcoholic beverages). 7/10

Peppers Cali-ente

This year’s menu includes some great Mexican flavors and specialties including one of our top dishes of the entire festival!

• Corn Chip Chili Pie (NEW) featuring impossible beef – you can also get this at Cozy Corn Motel 5 if that’s more convenient for you
• Shrimp Papas Locos with cheddar-bacon potatoes with jalapeño cheese sauce and chipotle shrimp

The corn chili chip pie was another dish that we tried and enjoyed way more than we thought we would! You can’t tell at all that it’s plant-based , and it was one of our favorites of the entire festival so I definitely recommend it trying it even if you think you aren’t going to like the impossible beef!

It was a bit of a mess how it was served but the flavors were good enough for us to overlook that fact! 8/10

We really wanted to like the shrimp. The flavor was good, but it just wasn’t prepared well. The tater tots were mushy because the spicy cheese sauce and it just tasted poor executed. This one has potential but ours wasn’t great. My sister also said it was a little spicy because of the jalapeños, and she likes spice – so be prepared for spicy shrimp as well! 5/10

LA Style

LA Style’s menu changed completely against, which is always fun but we definitely missed last year’s pork belly!

I don’t drink tea, so I didn’t try the echo park cooler but it sure looked pretty!

• Mini LA Street Dog (NEW) with jalapeño mayo, pepper & onion relish, and Nueske applewood smoked bacon – you can also get this at Award Wieners!
• Western BBQ Burger Bao (NEW) with sweet barbecue sauce, applewood smoked bacon, and crispy onions

The mini street dog was another one of those just okay dishes. It was tasty enough to finish it but not memorable enough for us to recommend as a top or must-try dish. Also as a reminder – you can always ask for things without toppings for allergy purposes if you want the mini dog without all the fixings! 6/10

The western BBQ burger bao was better and more memorable than the mini street dog (and many other items at the festival) but still nothing super special.

But if you want to get one thing at LA Style, this would be my recommendation out of the two. Oh and you get two pictures of this one because you have to see the inside! 7/10

Cluck-A-Doodle-Moo (just past Little Mermaid)

Cluck-A-Doodle-Doo normally serves wings but those have been moved to California Craft Brews this year and were replaced by just one okay grilled skirt steak dish.

• Asa’DOS (NEW) grilled skirt steak and chipotle chicken with Spanish rice and salsa verde

I missed the wings after trying this dish. It feels like the theme of this year’s festival is dishes that are okay but nothing special and this one felt similar. It had solid potential but the flavor was just lacking, almost a little spicy without complementing flavors.

That being said – if you want protein, this isn’t a bad option for some steak and chicken and is a larger portion of food than most of the others. 6/10

Garlic Kissed (Near the Golden Zephyr)

Garlic Kissed has been a fan favorite for years and brought back two popular items this year, with a few changes.

• Sirloin Gruyére Mac & Cheese (NEW) with black garlic chimichurri and garlic butter crunch
• Huckleberry-Citrus Cooler with huckleberry and agave syrup, grapefruit soda, lemon, and orange juices, and Gold Peak Black Tea

The grilled top sirloin was a disappointment compared to the one they offered last year. Last year the sirloin was served with smashed potatoes that my brothers LOVED. This year the sirloin was still good but the mac and cheese under the sirloin was not great and really brought the dish down. I hope they bring back the potatoes next year! 6/10

On the other hand, the huckleberry citrus cooler was actually much better than this year than in 2024 when we tried it. It was refreshing and the flavors somehow all worked well together even though there were so many of them!

Oh and don’t worry if you don’t like grapefruit, there are so many flavors you won’t even notice it’s there kind of like with our fruit punch recipe.

Mercado de Antojos

This is a new marketplace for 2025 and specializes in Latin flavors (as suggested by the name). They had one of our favorite savory items and some of our least favorite desserts and drinks!

• Birria Mac and Cheese with onion-cilantro sauce and tortilla crunch – you can get this at Sonoma Terrace as well
• Café de Olla Tres Leches Cake topped with piloncillo chantilly, cinnamon, and a Mickey-shaped cookie
• Raspberry Horchata garnished with skewered raspberries

The mac and cheese was one of our favorite savory dishes of the entire festival. The mac and cheese was so much better than the sirloin one above and the flavor of the birria was delicious. The entire group gave this an 8/10, one of our higher scores for the 2025 festival!

I normally love tres leches whether it’s a standard tres leches or something fun this our gingerbread tres leches but this one was just not great. The flavor was overpowered by ginger, which really ruined the entire dish for us. I did like the cookie on top! 5/10

I don’t love horchata in the first place but for some reason this one had a spicy flavor to it. And my sister said it tasted like a candle – possibly because of the extreme flavor. Go for the huckleberry citrus cooler instead. 5/10

Other Food at Disneyland Food & Wine Festival

In addition to the actual festival marketplaces, there are typically food and wine festival food offerings at the restaurant Disneyland restaurants throughout the park! I’ve included my reviews of all of these items below!

Festival Specific Churros

Disneyland is known for its churros and is currently offering up some unique combinations that take the churros even more over the top just for the food and wine festival!

• Churro Cart in Hollywood Land – peach tea churro that’s rolled in peach sugar with diced peaches and a peach tea sauce on top
• Churros near Goofy’s Sky School & Senor Buzz Churros – mango sticky-rice inspired churro with sticky rice and mango pieces
• Willie’s Churros – strawberry caramel churro with whipped topping, strawberries, and caramel
• Terran Treats – Creme Brulee churro with pastry cream, strawberry coulis, and crushed bruleed sugar

Out of the four churros we tried, the peach was easily our favorite. It had some great peach flavor without any extra tea flavor. I’ve found my favorite unique churros at Disney use a different flavored sugar (in this case peach sugar) instead of just adding toppings on it and this followed suit. 9/10

The creme brulee churro was tasty and one that we would actually get again, especially if you like creme brulee. The flavors enhanced the normal churro flavor rather than taking away from it – making it one of our favorites. 8/10

And the final mango sticky rice churro was a bit of a mess, literally. Fortunately the mess still tasted pretty good but we liked the other two already mentioned better. 7/10

The strawberry caramel churro was good, not great, but good. I’m not sure I would send you running to get it but if you want it and like the flavors, go for it. Out of the four we tried, it was our least favorite. 6/10

Aunt Cass Cafe

I’m a huge fan of Aunt Cass and their new menu so I’m always excited to see what they come up with for Food and Wine!

• Burrata Toast (NEW) with toasted sourdough, onion jam, burrata, tomatoes, arugula and balsamic glaze

This was one of the things we were most excited to try because the idea sounds amazing, especially since we love buratta. And the idea was great with so much potential but it just lacked flavor, enough that I can’t recommend it. 6/10

Boardwalk Pizza and Pasta

I’ve found that the festival items at Boardwalk are often hit or miss. This year they have a speciality pizza and a cheesecake. Last year’s cheesecake a 0/10 terrible so I was glad to see they changed it up!

• Smoked Hawaiian Pizza (NEW) with spicy marinara, smoked mozzarella, glazed ham and charred pineapple
• Pineapple and Coconut Cheesecake (NEW) with pineapple jam, pineapple mousse, and a maraschino cherry

The smoked Hawaiian pizza was just a standard piece of Hawaiian pizza, nothing special at all. If you like Boardwalk’s normal pizza and Hawaiian pizza, you’ll like this. But it’s not good enough that I’m going to tell you that you have to buy it. 6/10

The cheesecake on the other hand was pretty tasty. The actual cheesecake base was the best that we’ve had at Disneyland (and we make a lot of mini cheesecake) and I almost wish I could’ve just eaten that by itself. The pineapple topping was okay, but I would’ve preferred it just by itself. 7/10

Cappuccino Cart

Cappuccino cart is offering a coffee bundt cake this yaer with a chocolate mousse filling and a coffee-flavored liqueur glaze. I don’t do coffee or coffee flavored items, so we skipped this one but based on their pumpkin bundt cake (one of my favorite Disneyland Halloween treats), this one is probably good!

Cocina Cucamonga

The only offering here is a strawberry horchata, which sounded a much better than it tasted. It was basically a normal horchata but with huge chucks of strawberries added in, which ended up in it not really tasting like strawberry horchata but instead just being horchata with strawberries all sunk to the bottom. Not great and pretty hard to drink. 4/10

Corn Dog Castle

Corn dogs at Disneyland are unlike corn dogs anywhere else. I always get a corn dog but the topped and speciality ones tend to be hit and miss. This year’s was a hit with our group!

• SoCal Corn Dog (NEW) rolled in fries and topped with tomato, pickle relish, American cheese, and house dressing

The corn dog sounded like it was going to be way too much going on, but it was surprisingly delicious. And I never thought I’d be saying this, but we felt like it actually needed more pickle relish. 8/10

Paradise Garden Grill

Like always, paradise garden grill has a huge menu of festival specific items, enough that they get their own list!

We just tried a few things at Paradise Garden Grill because the menu had so many options (and we were getting full). Similar to other times we’ve eaten here, there were some highs and some very lows.

• Chicken Taquito Ahogado (NEW) with Spanish rice, avocado crema, sour cream, pickled onion, cotija, and cilantro
• Al Pastor Tacos with avocado spread and tomatillo sauce
• Esquites Loaded Chips with corn kernels, cotija cheese, chile-lime seasoning, and creama
• Huarache with soy-based chorizo beans, seasoned steak tips, lettuce, cheese, avocado crema, and tomatillo salsa
• Pescado Zarandeado (NEW) with corn tortillas, refried beans, Spanish rice, zesty slaw, pickled vegetables, and a side of chips and salsa
• Street style-taco and cheese quesadilla (kids meal options)
• Lime Parfait (NEW) with layers of graham cracker crust, lime cream cheese mousse, and lime-orange gelee topped with chantilly cream

The chicken taquito was one of our favorite things we tried all day. Crispy taquitos topped with crema and salsa – definitely a delicious option! 8/10

The pescado was a 1/10 for us, and my sister really likes fish. Unfortunately it tasted pretty much just like grease and had a ton of bones. Definitely skip this one.

The lime parfait tasted like a dessert you might get at a budget all-inclusive where they have to bulk make desserts so they do mousses. And none of them are good. There are some desserts at the festival that are okay, this is one we don’t recommend. It was too thick and just not great. 3/10

Studio Catering Co

This booth right near the Monsters Inc ride is offering two fusion type items this year including a really great burrito!

• Thai-inspired Burrito (NEW) with chicken satay, pad thai noodles, peanut sauce, pineapple fried rice, and chile crisp
• Salsa Verde Chicharron Tacos (NEW) with warm salsa verde, salsa macha, and pickled onions

The burrito was another festival favorite for us and so unique! It was kind of like eating a decent pad Thai inside of a burrito and had us thinking, why didn’t we think of that? 9/10

The tacos on the other hand had potential but the meat was tough, which ruins even the best tacos. I’d skip these and get the burrito instead! 6/10

Clarabelle’s Hand-Dipped Ice Cream

Clarabelle’s is always a good option but this year it’s a really good option because it’s where we found our favorite dessert of the festival!

• Strawberry Shortcake (NEW) with vanilla ice cream, strawberry syrup, whipped topping, and fresh strawberries

Like I mentioned, this was easily our favorite dessert we tried all day. The cake was great, the strawberry sauce was great, and Clarabelle’s ice cream is always great. This makes me want to try our strawberry shortcake recipe with ice cream on it! 10/10

Festival Snack Carts

The festival snack cart right near Paradise Garden Grill is offering up carnitas topped pretzel bites and a teriyaki turkey leg. In the past, we’ve not been fans of Disneyland pretzel bites, so we skipped these. I can’t imagine that adding carnitas and cheese sauce on top of pretzel bites would’ve made them any better. Turkey legs on the other hand tend to be a hit so that one is worth trying!

Lamplight Lounge

We didn’t get a chance to try Lamplight Lounge. They’re offering strawberry lemonade donuts this year. You need reservations to get these but both sound intriguing!

Downtown Disney

There are a handful of food items that are festival specific being offered in Downtown Disney’s dining district as well. I didn’t get a chance to try these those unfortunately, but here’s what you can look for! These often have different offering dates than the food and wine festival, so I recommended checking menus when you get there!

• Great Maple Modern American Eatery (at Pixar Place Hotel) – red wine braised short ribs and crab cakes
• Ballast Point Brewing Co – braised short rib with cheesy polenta, roasted baby carrots, and a red wine demi-glace
• Kayla’s Cake – honey and lavender macarons
• Splitsville Luxury Lanes – Filet sliders
• Salt and Straw – pink rose and watermelon sorbet as well as an aged dark ale with manchego flavor
• Seoul Sister at Parkside Market – braised pork belly lettuce wrap with spicy gochu Seoul sauce

Disneyland Food Festival Top 10

I did this the last time I covered the festival so that if you don’t have time to read everything, you can at least get a good snapshot of I should try these things for sure when I go! These are our personal top 10 favorites of the festival!

These are not in any particular order, just a list of our top 10 food items from the festival and honestly, I wasn’t that impressed this year so picking out 10 was tough.

1. Peach Tea Churro from Churros at Hollywood Land
2. Thai Inspired Burrito from Studio Catering
3. Creme Bruelee Churro from Terran Treats
4. Strawberry Shortcake from Clarabelle’s
5. Chicken Taquito Ahogado from Paradise Garden Grill
