Busch Gardens Tampa Food and Wine Festival 2024 Preview

Last week we were invited to a preview of the Food and Wine Festival at Busch Gardens Tampa, and of course that meant that we sent Steve and Jen to enjoy the event. Fortunately it seems that the event is back to it's pre 2020 greatness and a great time was to be had all around. 

Busch Gardens Tampa’s Food & Wine Festival is back in a big way!

This year they’ve adopted the country by country approach, complete with booths themed to each country’s flag and culture. Geography nerds unite!

Argentina came with a chicken empanada and beef chimichurri that were both delicious, as well as some South American wines. Salud!

South Africa had several wines, we went with the cab and Shiraz. Gesondheid!

Next was Chile, with a fantastic ceviche (Steve’s favorite) and grilled beef. ¡Muy bueno!

Canada had a beef gyro and “Timbits,” which were little donuts made with bits of real Tim! Tim tasted great, eh!

Australia brought out the big guns with a watermelon salad and Macadamia nut tart. Both were very good, but not a single escaped kangaroo was seen in the area.

For dessert, we got the lemon meringue tart from South Africa and dulce de leche cake from Chile. Sugar overload, but tasty!

All in all, Busch Gardens has really improved this event after a few lackluster years post-Covid. The theming and food have both been taken up a notch, and the full event will surely be a hit with the general public.

​Check out the concert list and make it out this spring!
