With the hope that will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world hello everyone and fellow dreamers welcome to my channel Lawrence floating lights in today’s video I’ve just driven an hour and a half to Bush Gardens in Tampa to experience Their Food and Wine Festival preview and to take you along.
With me this is so exciting I got my lanyard on my ticket and I’m ready to go in as you come in and get off the tram they have the staple piece Bush Garden statue right here I have never been to the Food and Wine Festival here before at Bush Gardens however I’m definitely a fan of the rides here and the animals and I’m in I can’t believe it so looking.
At the matville Bush Gardens you’re going to enter over here and then to get to the main Festival area it’s going to be the festival walkway right by I guazi they have a festival boo photo opportunity right here but I’m on my own so I won’t be able to get a picture so from March 9th until May 19th 2024 the Food and Wine Festival is going to be.
Happ in here at Bush Gardens and it is included with your admission however you just have to pay for the food and drink that you want to try and you can also buy packages as well which look like this so you can have a multiple option of dishes I am now here at I guazi this is one of the craziest coasters I’ve ever done in my life I did it last time.
I was here not sure if I’ll have time for it tonight however if I do I’ll definitely be on there as you walk by I guazi you’re going to head to the Food and Wine Festival area of 2024 something else I have to tell you about is the concerts involved with food and wine and it’s included with your admission to the park you don’t have to pay anything else.
To see the concerts some of the artists performing this year include Owl City Andy gramar and goooo Dolls right here at Bush Gardens and as I said it’s all included so you just come enjoy the admission and then enjoy the show we’re now get ahead into the festival walkway Hi how are you doing thank you thank you wow this is very very cool look at this.
It’s amazing Hi how are you doing well welcome good thank you so much does this have a name yes trunk trunk okay cool I love that number one on the list is South Africa and these are going to be the food options we have bunny Chow a lemon merang pie the top one looks good as well I’m going to ask if any oh that’s so good there’s a sign.
For if it’s glutenfree or not so I don’t have to ask what I’m going to any anyway the South Africa Booth nothing is gluten-free the lighting in here is lovely oh my gosh that backdrop of I guazi though so cool look at that at the second Booth of South Africa they have a bunch of different wines and drinks and they have a vanilla vodka.
Drink they have Brandy they have sherz a red blend saon Blanc caban svon these look great I’m driving tonight so I’m not going to try any of these but I’m just here to show you guys what the options are and even if I’m here on my own and I can’t try everything I want you to be able to know what you can have when you come here that is Booth one and.
Two I seem to not be able to locate Booth three however I’m going to move on to Argentina which is Booth four and this is our beach thank you so much they look very good and then this is the mango flan which I’m going to have which is glutenfree from the Argentina Booth the only gluten-free food that we had is the mango FL and I’m going to try that.
And see what it’s like I do love a good dessert I’m not a big mango fan so I’m intrigued that is so interesting oh it’s really refreshing that’s delicious and I don’t normally like mango that’s really really good booth number five is chili and they have some delicious looking food look at that grilled beef looks like it’s an es.
Skillet I love that cake as well I don’t think I’m going to be able to eat that however again they have some wines with the festival lanyards you can purchase a 10 15 or 18 piece lanard so that one right there is the 10 which is what I had they start at $70 and you can buy them online I believe as well as at guest relations and certain cabins.
Around Bush Gardens during the festival the great thing about this is that you’ve still got nine options left to try either a food or a drink I do have to say this dish is very cold the Mash is delicious it’s very very tart and tangy it’s Uka mash and it’s enhanced with cilantro and the beef is quite cold I’m not sure if it’s meant to be served.
Like that forgive me if it is next up on the list is New Zealand and this looks so good they have a kiwi marinated grilled lamb a strawberry lamington and New Zealand green lip muscles the wine festival is going strong they have four wines at this booth this is the lamb from New Zealand and this looks the best out of all the dishes I’ve tried so far.
This is delicious the sweet carrot puree complement the lamb really well I get this again number seven is going to be Australia and I feel like it’s going to be the watermelon salad that would be gluten-free from here but they also have a green curry chicken pie a nut tart and some other wines as well I am obsessed with the fact that these Festival boo.
Are so close to eyeing GUI here’s a look at the nut tart the chicken curry pie and the watermelon salad that is a classic water dish you just can’t go wrong when you’re in Florida number eight we have Canada this is an extremely popular booth there a very long line but it’s hot smoked salmon there’s a Halifax Don a Tim bits which.
Are classic for Canadians we also have a cranberry Royale which looks really good again I’m driving so I’m not going to try any of those they also have live music going on and it looks like some other entertainment as well and you can hear people screaming on I guazi and I can also see Chic right in the background there this is an nice area.
You can just chair there’s a little bit more room here to eat and enjoy your food and drink this is a cute little Hut it’s like a little place where you can take pictures and you can also buy merchandise here I believe as well we’re being gluten-free sometimes it’s hard to find a lot of options around the theme parks I’ve enjoyed a handful of items.
From this Festival walkthrough area I know that there are going to be many more booths around Bush Gardens drawing the Food and Wine Festival so if I was here for a full day I’d definitely be trying more things I’ve picked up little goodie bag on the way out this is so sweet look at all of these goodies that I got in my goodie bag we have a glass.
For Food and Wine Festival a reusable cuttle reset and a bottle opener as well this is so sweet and unexpected I’ve just headed into the tap room area and they have a little display which shows some of the food items from the different booths and some of the things that I tried including the watermelon salad I’m going to see if I can get on I.
Guazi I might see you on the other side guys oh my gosh guys I just got off of I guazi it said it was 25 minutes and I had about 5 minutes of spare before the park was going to close the event finishes at 6:30 but the park closes at 6 and it was 5 to 6 so I was like I’ve got time I’ve got time and um I went on it and I was one of the last people to.
Go on it of the day and it was absolutely insane I’m pretty sure it’s a 90t drop and it has 12 airtime moments I guazi is the highest hybrid coaster in Northern America it’s amazing if you ever come to Bush Gardens you must do irony please I’m begging you I’m just heading out now I wish I could stay the whole night here I love Bush Gardens and.
Definitely get a comeback at some point because me and my husband love it here anyway we are massive roller coaster enthusiasts and we definitely want to come and I’d love to experience more of the Food and Wine Festival and try more booze as well there’s some classic merch in some of the stores as you head on out I love that it has different rides on it.
You’ve got shikra Falcon Fury Tigress Tigress is insane I cannot wait to come back and show you Tigress Cobra’s curse Cheetah Hunt I guazi MTU kumber so many good ones if you come to the festival I definitely think it would be a good idea to buy a lanyard and share it between you and another person that way you can try a little bit of everything and try.
The different boo around the park I have to say my favorite thing was definitely the lamb chops oh my gosh I would come back in just for them they were amazing with the sweet carrot puree oh oh my God I have had an amazing evening at Bush Gardens thank you for following along I hope you enjoyed cannot wait to come back soon to enjoy the park itself and.
