2012 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival Merchandise
The 17th Annual Epcot International Food & Wine Festival is not only a delight for foodies that come out to play, but a wonderful place to get some shopping done! From the wine cellar and broad array of housewares at the Festival Center to fun merchandise booths scattered around World Showcase Lagoon there's more than enough variety to find the perfect souvenir for the foodie in your family.
Official 2012 Food & Wine Artwork by Noah
One tradition of the Food & Wine Festival is that a special piece of artwork is created each year to grace many a piece of merchandise. This year's painting created was created by a veteran Disney artist named Noah. It's a beautiful sepia toned painting that features a wine bottle and glasses sitting near Food & Wine Festival Marketplace Booth Passports. It's romantic and beautiful, it would be a lovely addition to many a kitchen or dining room. Noah's work is so skillfully done you might think that it's actually a photograph. You'll be able to find this year's themed artwork on coffee mugs, cutting boards, trivets, spoon rests, coasters and more.
2012 Festival Art Merchandise
If you happen to be down for opening weekend of the festival, you can have your posters, trivets and trinkets of this lovely art work personally signed by Noah at the Festival Welcome Center:
- September 28 and 29, 10-11 a.m., 2-4 p.m. and 6-7 p.m.
- September 30, 10-11 a.m., 2-3 p.m. and 5-7 p.m.
Other fun merchandise for the festival includes a new selection of limited edition of festival themed pins. The adorable Chip and Dale pin will serve as the main logo pin found at locations throughout Epcot. You'll also find Minnie Mouse pin for Disney Vacation Club members, and Figment for the Annual Passholders! There may even be a special pin featuring Duffy the Disney Bear.
2012 Food & Wine Festival Pins and Vinylmation
There's also a limited edition Vinylmation figure featuring Tony from Disney's animated classic "Lady and the Tramp." This 3-inch figure has an edition size of 2,500 and was designed by artist Billy Davis.
Duffy The Disney Bear is also sporting a brand new new chef outfit complete with a bow tie for this year! Bow ties are cool.

I wish it all was coming home with me. I will get the one of the Pins for sure. Maybe a couple of wine glasses.

We will probably get the cookbook, wine glasses, and few bottles of wine.

I wanted the wine glasses last year and didn't buy any so I think they'll be coming home this year for sure!

It's a shame that the artist will only be available for signings this weekend. This will be our third year, each commemorated with a signed piece of art!

Ray - I totally agree about wishing the artist was there for more than one weekend. This is the first year I'm not going opening weekend and I feel like I'm missing out on so much!

What the picture doesn't show is that the wine glasses are big balloon goblets & only sold in sets of 2. Way too big & fragile for my luggage. :-( Luckily the logo was also on an embroidered tea towel, which did go home with me.

Rach - I saw this morning that now through Sunday 10/14 that you can buy the Wine Glasses at DisneyStore.com So if you want a set you can have them shipped right to you!
