Two cheese-focused stops are no longer available at EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival. Cheers to Cheese, a limited-time interactive exhibit in CommuniCore Hall, and The Wedge marketplace both closed November 8.
Cheers to Cheese opened September 18 and was scheduled to run through November 8. The exhibit included displays and hands-on activities about how cheese is made, its history and varieties, along with trivia, pairings and a cheese-of-the-day vote. CommuniCore Hall was decorated with oversized cheese slices for the experience.
Nearby, The Wedge—hosted by Dairy Does More—served cheese-centered festival dishes including Three-Cheese Macaroni and Cheese, Crab and Corn Macaroni and Cheese, and a selection of Wisconsin cheeses. It operated during the same September 18-to-November 8 window.
EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival continues through November 21, but its marketplace lineup has shifted during the event. Several booths were not ready when the festival began August 27, with additional locations opening later in September and October. The Wedge’s closure means visitors attending in the final weeks will have a different selection than earlier festival guests.

Guests can buy five qualifying cheese dishes at participating marketplaces, collect stamps in a Festival Passport and redeem them for a complimentary dessert at Shimmering Sips: Key Lime DOLE Whip with cheesecake soft serve. Since The Wedge has closed, visitors should confirm participating locations before mapping out the cheese crawl.
