The 2026 Disney California Food & Wine Festival has started at Disney California Adventure, running from March 6 to April 27. Visitors can explore a variety of food booths offering unique dishes and beverages. Highlights include savory flatbreads, chalupas, and non-alcoholic punches.
The festival at Disney California Adventure (DCA) features numerous food and drink options across various locations in the park. It officially began on March 6, 2026, and will continue until April 27, 2026, providing ample opportunity for attendees to sample the offerings.
Among the standout food items is the Carbonara Pizzetta from LA Style, priced at $8. This flatbread includes white sauce, Nueske’s Applewood Smoked Bacon, and a black pepper drizzle. Reviewers noted its balanced flavors, with prominent garlic and parmesan tastes, and a dough that complements the toppings without overpowering them.
At Paradise Garden Grill, the Pork Chile Verde Chalupas cost $14.99 and consist of two chalupas filled with pork in salsa verde, shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, and queso fresco, accompanied by Spanish rice and refried beans topped with queso fresco. The pork delivers a seasoned kick, balanced by fresh toppings like lettuce, tomato, and lime, with the shell offering a soft and chewy texture.
Also from Paradise Garden Grill, the Aguachile Loaded Chips are available for $13.49. These feature lime-cooked shrimp, fresh cucumbers, red onion, and aguachile salsa. The chips are described as perfectly seasoned, with the salsa providing layered flavors including a chili kick, moderated by cooling elements like onion and cucumber, and enhanced by non-briny shrimp and optional lime.
The Spinach Artichoke Grilled Cheese at Pym Test Kitchen is $14.99 and made with spinach and artichoke on parmesan-crusted sourdough, served with potato bites. The crust adds crunch, while the interior offers melty cheese and distinct spinach artichoke notes, appealing to fans of the classic dip.
For drinks, the Pickle Whisky Sour from Peppers Cali-Ente is $19.25, combining bourbon, pickle juice, and lime juices, rimmed with Tajin Clasico and Tajin Chile-Lime sauce, and garnished with a pickle spear. It stands out for its unique pickle crispness and added Tajin flavors.
The non-alcoholic California Punch from California Craft Brews costs $9 and includes mango puree, guava nectar, cucumber syrup, and lemon juice, garnished with a mango-chile lollipop. This option blends fresh fruit flavors effectively, surpassing typical mocktails.
These selections highlight the festival's diverse culinary experiences, drawing from California-inspired ingredients and creative preparations.
