The Shimmering Sips Marketplace returns for the 2026 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival, offering a variety of refreshing beverages and sweet treats. The Mimosa Flight features three distinct options: Berry, Blood Orange, and Tropical flavors, each carefully crafted to balance tartness with sweetness. A standout dessert this year is the Strawberry Champagne Trifle, which has been significantly improved from its overly sugary version in 2025. This plant-based treat combines creamy texture with fresh strawberries and a unique champagne-like liquid that provides a cooling effect. Visitors can also enjoy Emile’s Fromage Montage Completer Prize, a delightful mix of key lime DOLE Whip and cheesecake soft serve available after completing the Cheese Crawl. All three mimosas in the flight were praised for their excellent balance of flavors, with the Berry option noted for its subtlety and the Tropical version leaning into sweet passion fruit notes. The booth is highly recommended for those seeking a fun twist on classic festival offerings, with cups designed as little souvenirs to take home. Overall, Shimmering Sips delivers fantastic experiences and is definitely worth visiting during the festival.
