Located in the Wonders of Life pavilion close by to Mission Space, the Festival Center is the epicentre for the Food & Wine Festival. Here you will find Guest Services, plenty of more edible goodies and even special seminars.

The Festival Center plays host to a number of expert seminars, most of which do require an additional ticket to enjoy. There are cheese seminars on select Saturdays, the Mix It, Make It, Celebrate It! workshops also give guests interactive experiences with experts. The Mix It, Make It, Celebrate It! workshops are reasonably priced at $39 per person, so it's worth taking a look to see if any are of interest to you.

The Festival Center also has a Junior Chef Kitchen if you would like to introduce the younger members of your party into the culinary world.
