New Seminars and Innovative Dishes Highlight Fourth Annual Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic

LAKE BUENA VISTA, FL--(Marketwired - Aug 28, 2013) -  The culinary team at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotel is gearing up for the annual Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic, Oct. 18 - 19. 

Back for its fourth year, the event presents the perfect opportunity for everyone -- from novices to enthusiasts -- to savor the flavor of culinary innovation at this two-night outdoor evening festival hosted along the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotel's lush causeway.

Guests can enjoy the delights of numerous food and wine stations; immerse themselves in food and wine education seminars; meet the masters behind the culinary magic and take in some live entertainment at the same time.

From a short rib Oscar, marrying beef, Maryland blue crab, asparagus and hollandaise to a Chinese-inspired vegetarian bao; the food options are as innovative as they are enticing. Finishing touches like raspberry s'mores and a milk chocolate mousse dome with a caramel-cream center provide even more intrigue. 

In addition to sampling all things savory and sweet, guests will be able to purchase featured wines on site and other event merchandise. 

New to the educational lineup is a pasta-making seminar hosted by hotel executive chef Robert Ciborowski. Guests will learn to make pasta dough from scratch and assist with the creation of specialty pastas. The wine education tract will feature a new Italian wine class, where guests will learn the history of Italian wine and its influence on culture and cuisine. Returning beverage seminars include modern mixology, sake, beer, wine-blending, champagne, Riesling and Spanish wines. The seminars are led by the hotel's certified culinary and beverage experts.

While enjoying live entertainment and enticing food and wine samples, guests also can meet and greet with celebrity chef Todd English. English is a world-renowned restaurateur who has gained national acclaim through his line of restaurants and cookbooks, and his countless other food-related enterprises. His concept, Todd English's bluezoo, is one of the signature restaurants of the hotel.
