Now in its 16th year, the Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic, one of my favorite Orlando foodie events, will take place Friday, Nov. 14 and Saturday, Nov. 15, 2025, from 5-9pm each evening, and this year Celebrity Chefs Todd English and Michael Mina will headline the weekend’s events.
Both will be appearing for meet-and-greets during the two-night event, and hosting their own signature tasting experience.
Acclaimed chef and restaurateur Michael Mina has expanded his celebrated Bourbon Steak brand with the opening of Bourbon Steak Orlando, located at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin.
The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin announces it has broken ground on its latest expansion, an addition of 120,000 square feet of event space to its current meeting and convention floor plan.
The 15th annual Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic returns to delight foodies November 15-16, 2024, taking place during National Veterans and Military Families Month, and Wounded Warrior Project has been named as the charitable beneficiary for this year’s event.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure officially opens today, June 28th at Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, and the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin are celebrating with a limited-time cocktail called The Bayou Soiree.
The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort will debut a special series of weekly food and drink themed events this fall called “Sip, Savor and Stay Saturdays: A New Twist on the Food & Wine Classic Experience,” and it kicks off Saturday, September 19.
The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin will host Sandtastic Weekends for an end of the summer blow-out August 26-28 and September 2-4.
Open to both resort guests and the public, the event will feature activities for all ages, with the highlight being 100 tons of intricately sculpted sand art designed by award-winning world-class sculptors from Team Sandtastic and constructed right on the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort’s private beach.
Featuring more than 40 food and wine stations, the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic returns for the fifth year October 31 and November 1.
The two-night event offers an enticing array of culinary options from the hotel’s award-winning signature restaurants: Il Mulino New York Trattoria, Shula’s Steak House and Todd English’s bluezoo, and more.
The food selections range from Italian arancini (Carnaroli rice, Osso Buco and spicy tomato sauce), and the Asian-inspired grilled scallops (with puffed rice, edamame and ponzu jelly); to barbeque handcrafted bacon, accented with sweet potato puree and caramelized onions. And, the hotel’s World Champion Pastry Chef, Laurent Branlard, provides the sweeter side with finishing touches like a chocolate crunch Napoleon with hazelnut daquoise and chocolate whipped cream, and a lemon peel mousse dome with blueberry cream and lemon angel food cake at its center.
