Renowned celebrity chefs Todd English and Michael Mina will headline the 2025 Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic, appearing for meet-and-greets during the two-night event and each hosting their own signature tasting experience – a first for the 16th annual event.

Both chefs – James Beard Award winners known for their award-winning cuisines, acclaimed restaurant concepts, bestselling cookbooks and television appearances – bring a strong culinary presence to the hotel complex. Todd English’s bluezoo and Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina are both located at the Walt Disney World Dolphin.

During the outdoor festival, guests will enjoy specially curated tastings from each chef’s on-site restaurant and have the opportunity to meet the chefs along the property’s scenic causeway, with English scheduled to appear both nights and Mina scheduled to appear on Saturday, Nov. 15.

Additionally, each chef will host his own signature tasting experience with beverage pairings:

• On Friday, Nov. 14, Chef English will host“A Culinary Journey Through Asia,” a curated voyage through Asia’s rich culinary heritage, interpreted through global gastronomy and Todd English’s signature style. The five courses include: Bluefin Tuna trio; smoked scallop crudo; miso carbonara udon; Koji-cured short rib & maitake; and layered matcha crisps with white chocolate. Each is exquisitely paired with sake or wine.
• On Saturday, Nov. 15, Chef Mina will host“A Global Inspired Tour With Flair,” a culinary journey filled with storytelling, education and a touch of humor. Thoughtfully paired with magnificent wines and a decadent dessert cocktail, the dinner’s five courses feature: bacon-wrapped scallop; white truffle agnolotti; miso broiled seabass; slow roasted prime rib; and the Bourbon Steak candy bar.

The Signature Tasting Experiences with Chef Mina and Chef English will take place at 3:30 p.m. each day. Tickets are $185 per person, plus taxes and fees, and can be purchased at www.FoodAndWineClassic.com. Space is limited.
