Leisure Street Winery Barbera

If you love Disney but need a little vino to survive the chaos of crying toddlers and endless lines, this guide is for you. Whether you’re sipping your way through California Adventure or plotting a rosé rendezvous at Epcot, I’ve rounded up the best places to enjoy wine at the parks, hotels, and beyond. Sure, you can find wine at most Disney restaurants and lounges, but this list highlights the spots where the selection is actually worth your time and taste buds.

CALIFORNIA

Disneyland

Thanks to Walt’s OG rules, Disneyland proper isn’t big on booze. The only place you can grab a drink is Oga’s Cantina in Galaxy’s Edge, and wine didn’t make the cut. You’ll find Star Wars-themed cocktails instead, which are fun if you’re into smoky bubble effects and funky mugs. Club 33 exists, but unless you’ve got a casual $50k a year lying around, we’re moving on.

California Adventure

California Adventure is a whole different story, and thank goodness for that.

Wine Country Trattoria

With a name like Wine Country Trattoria, it better deliver. And it does. This spot offers wine flights from California and Italy, along with a menu of over 25 wines. Grab a glass on the Alfresco Tasting Terrace if you’re an annual passholder and soak in the views. I’d go for the Italian flight every time.

Lamplight Lounge

Known for its whimsical cocktails and Pixar vibes, Lamplight also has a solid wine list packed with California staples. If you’re feeling adventurous, try the Sizzle Reel, a red wine cocktail with rum, grapefruit juice, and berries that tastes like grown-up punch.

Flo’s V8 Cafe

t’s no Napa tasting room, but Flo’s does offer wine from Kendall-Jackson and Francis Ford Coppola. You can also grab a red sangria to pair with the neon glow of Cars Land. I’ve tried it, and yes, it’s delicious.

Hotels and Downtown Disney

You can find wine all over the resort hotels and Downtown Disney, but here’s where it’s actually worth stopping for.

Napa Rose

Tucked inside the Grand Californian, Napa Rose is fancy without being fussy. The lounge features a stacked wine list with everything from La Crema to South African Syrah, and the staff knows their stuff. The sommeliers will help you find your new favorite pour. I’d come here every Friday if I still lived nearby.

Naples Ristorante e Pizzeria

Italian food and Italian wine are the main attraction here, and their list doesn’t disappoint. Almost everything is from Italy, including a Chardonnay I’m dying to try because I’ve never had one from Italy and now I need to know what it tastes like.

Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen

The food is great and the wine list is solid, but I recommend trying a New Orleans-style cocktail while you’re here. The Hurricanes are strong, the red wine sangria is fruity and refreshing, and it all tastes better with a fried chicken po’ boy.

FLORIDA

Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom is what most people picture when they think “Disney.” It’s home to all the classic lands—Fantasyland, Frontierland, Tomorrowland—and it’s the most nostalgic of the parks. But when it comes to wine, your options are limited. That said, there are a few gems if you know where to look.

Be Our Guest Restaurant

This one’s a must for Beauty and the Beast fans. Dining in the Beast’s castle feels like stepping straight into the movie—there’s even a fancy ballroom! The wine list is mostly French, with a few California favorites mixed in (hello, Silver Oak Cab). For the ultimate wine experience, order the Be Our Guest Sampler, a flight of their private label wines: Chardonnay from Pouilly-Fuissé, Rosé from Languedoc, and a GSM blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Jungle Navigation Co. LTD. Skipper Canteen

If you’re craving something adventurous—both on your plate and in your glass—Skipper Canteen delivers. The wine list has a fun global focus, especially South America and South Africa. Think Chilean Carmenère, Argentine Malbec, and a crisp South African Sauvignon Blanc. Pair that with their flaky fish, cassava cakes, and guava-habanero sauce, and you’ve got a flavor-packed escape from the usual theme park fare.

Epcot

Drinking around the world? Say no more. EPCOT is a wine lover’s paradise, with pavilions representing 11 different countries and that’s before we even get into the annual Food & Wine Festival.

Tutto Custo Wine Cellar

Located in the Italy Pavilion, this cozy wine bar is a must-visit. The vibe is relaxed, the menu is extensive, and the wine list is full of beautiful Italian bottles. Ask about the Grand Tour of Italy tasting flight if you want to sample a little bit of everything.

Chefs de France

This charming French bistro has all the Parisian vibes—tile floors, tall windows, and a menu full of classics like escargot and French onion soup. Their wine list is 100% French and features bottles from Alsace, Bordeaux, Rhône, Saint-Émilion, and more. Order a glass and pretend you’re dining along the Seine.

Coral Reef Restaurant

Yes, you’ll be eating seafood while surrounded by a giant aquarium full of fish. Try not to make eye contact with your entrée. The wine list has both reds and whites, and you can even get a flight if you’re indecisive. Bonus: their cocktail list is full of creative options, like a Godiva chocolate martini.

Hollywood Studios

Hollywood Studios mixes classic movie nostalgia with Pixar and Star Wars magic. Whether you’re geeking out over the Millennium Falcon or riding Tower of Terror (RIP to California’s version), there are wine-worthy stops along the way.

Tune-In Lounge

This retro ‘50s-style lounge is a fun place to grab a drink. The cocktails are playful (Dad’s Electric Lemonade, anyone?), but they also offer a handful of wines. The MacMurray Estate Pinot Noir is a standout.

The Hollywood Brown Derby

For a more upscale experience, this spot brings old-school Hollywood glam. Their wine menu includes a solid selection of reds and whites, plus some unique offerings like dessert wine flights and aged ports. If you’re a sweet wine fan, you’ll love the Tokaji from Hungary and German Icewine options.

Animal Kingdom

Animal Kingdom is part zoo, part thrill ride, part global street market. It also happens to have some of the most underrated drinks in all of Disney World.

Nomad Lounge

This chill lounge near Pandora serves up small plates and a stellar global wine list featuring bottles from South Africa, Argentina, and Chile. Not in a wine mood? Their cocktails are excellent, too—especially Jenn’s Tattoo, made with vodka, watermelon, hibiscus, and lime juice.

Pongu Pongu

Located in the Avatar area, Pongu Pongu doesn’t serve wine, but it’s still worth a mention. Their drinks come topped with passion fruit boba, and the Rum Blossom (with Bacardi, limeade, and desert pear) is a fruity, neon-colored dream.

Tiffins Restaurant

This is one of Disney’s more refined dining spots, with an equally impressive wine list. Like Nomad Lounge, the focus here is on wines from South Africa and South America. Don’t miss the charred octopus—it’s as dramatic as it is delicious.

Hotels and Disney Springs

Even if you’re not staying on property, many resorts and restaurants are worth visiting for wine and food alone.

The Basket at Wine Bar George

Charcuterie to-go and wine on tap? Yes please. The Basket is the quick-service side of Wine Bar George, offering picnic-style bites and solid pours of Barbera, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir. If you have time, dine at the full-service Wine Bar George next door—one of the best wine experiences in all of Disney.

T-REX

This place is pure fun. Think Rainforest Café meets Jurassic Park. The wine list is short but includes solid picks like Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc and Decoy Rosé. But honestly, the cocktails steal the show with names like Prehistoric Fashioned and Raptor Rita.

Maria and Enzo’s Ristorante

Italian food and Italian wine—what more could you want? The wine list features bottles from regions across Italy, and dishes like lobster linguine with white wine sauce pair beautifully with a Grecanico blend from Sicily. Romantic, cozy, and delicious.
