🟠🟢Dollywood's Flower & Food Festival Tasting Pass Info for 2025 🟢🟠

Hi Everyone,

The Smoky Mountains are alive with the vibrant hues of spring, and at its heart, Dollywood's Flower & Food Festival is blossoming into a feast for the senses! Imagine the park awash in a kaleidoscope of floral artistry, perfectly paired with an array of delectable tastes. Feeling overwhelmed by the abundance of beauty and flavor? Your answer: the Flower & Food Festival Tasting Pass, your passport to a curated culinary journey.

The Flower & Food Festival runs from April 18 to June 8, 2025. Note that Dollywood is closed on certain Tuesdays and Thursdays early on in the festival. Operating Hours for the entire festival will be 10am Opening and 8pm Closing. Pro Tip: Always double check the calendar when you plan to go to Dollywood - ALWAYS!

Firstly,

You Can Buy the Tasting Pass at Dollywood.com at this link - here.

All this information is from Dollywood's website, which is at this link - here.

It's $42.99 and $3 discount for Gold and Diamond Passholders. Click on any image to see a bigger version.

You get Five Choices. You can use them all in one day if you wish. You can use Two, come back another day and use the other Three. Make it a fun date night and split Four, and share the fifth as a dessert.

I don't have a link to whomever created "the spreadsheet" - but someone has created a spreadsheet with rankings of value for all of the Tasting Pass menu items - is what they've done, but if you look for it on the Dollywood Facebook Pages, you will find it. I think the gist of it usually ends up being that the Food vs. Drinks battle commences, and food usually wins. That's what I gathered from a quick glance at it. If you want to search for it, it's out there. I saw one for the IWALY tasting pass as well.
