Tutto Gusto Wine and Cheese Tastings, Italy Pavilion, Epcot

Recently we were over in Epcot and since we haven’t visited Tutto Gusto in nearly 9 months, we thought it was time to see if things had improved or deteriorated.

Taste of Marrakesh, a poor tasting – 2013 Epcot Flower & Garden Festival

We were really kind of excited to try the food at Taste of Marrakesh, Sarah at EatingWDW was quite impressed with her first samplings…
