The EPCOT Food and Wine Festival 2022 is all set to welcome you with a range of new and old delicacies! It is time for you to check the best ones, and there is some good news too. You will be happy to learn about the return of the Cheese Crawl event this year.
It means that there is a win-win situation for everyone out there. Therefore, you can get your hands on the delicacies and stand a chance to win rewards for everything you eat! However, a delightful surprise awaits you in this year’s Cheese Crawl, and you will know it soon.
The Cheese Crawl, also known as Emile’s Fromage Montage, is a Food & Wine Festival event. Therefore, you must find the appropriate page inside the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival 2022 Passport by picking up a free one. Also, you can typically find these near the EPCOT park entrances or go to a Guest Relations facility and request one there.
After that, you must navigate the festival’s many food booths to sample 5 dishes with cheese.
After purchasing a cheesy meal at each booth, you can also get a stamp. Once you have all five stamps, go to the Shimmering Sips stand to claim your special reward!
Previously, Disney had pre-selected those five cheese-filled dishes, and you had to try them all. However, this year, attendees have a choice of five different featured nibbles.
So there are ten alternatives, but you only need to purchase five snacks to finish the crawl and receive the reward. Isn’t that good news?
What are the choices at the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival 2022?
If you are wondering what the options will be, here is a list for you:
- In addition, a choice of three Raclette dishes is waiting for you at The Alps Marketplace.
- Crispy BBQ Pork Ribs with a drizzle of Pimento Cheese at The Swanky Saucy Swine Marketplace
- For dessert lovers, there is a particular Hawai’i Marketplace selling Passionfruit Cheesecakes. However, you will have to wait till August 15 for this delicacy.
- If you are at the Canada Marketplace, don’t forget to get your hands on a bowl of hearty Bacon and Cheddar soup with a side of Pretzel Rolls. Moreover, if you are exploring the World Showcase of the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival 2022, you can also try this crowd-favorite item at the Le Cellier.
- The Greek Marketplace offers a honey-pistachio griddle cheese combination.
- The India Marketplace sells some of the most delicious Crispy Paneer with curry-Mango Ketchup.
- A unique Mac and Eats Marketplace will offer soul food, just like the name suggests. However, this will also be available only after August 15.
- Visit the Flavors from Fire Marketplace and get your hands on their Smoky Corned Beef. It is the perfect combination of Cheese-Beer Fondue, Pickled Onions, Cheese Curds, Crispy Potatoes, and more.
- You can try the Schinkennudeln from the Germany Marketplace. The cheesy Pasta Gratin with onions and ham is just heavenly!
- You can try the traditional Brazilian bread called Pão de Queijo at the excellent Brazil Marketplace.
Each snack you purchase will earn you a stamp in your passport, whether you choose to buy five different snacks or several servings of your favorite snack.
You can collect stamps across several days if you visit this festival more than once; the crawl does not have to be finished in one day.
Are there any new rewards this year?
The reward for finishing the cheese crawl will be the same as the previous year. Of course, it is the Soft-serve strawberry cheesecake with a tiny piece of cheesecake on top!
You’ll also receive a souvenir cup with the words “Emile’s Fromage Montage” on it. The cheesecake on top is also excellent and gives the soft-serve overall a creaminess.
Which cheesy dishes you select will determine the final cost of this encounter. The prize at the end is free, but each snack does cost money.
There is only one award per finished crawl. Therefore, each participant who wants a prize must complete the crawl independently. Don’t forget to get one of the refreshments on the list stamped in your EPCOT Food and Wine Festival 2022 Passport!
