I had you at Wine Country, didn’t I?
A few years ago I wrote about how few gluten-free options I found Disneyland. I was so hungry most of that trip that I was exhausted and grumpy, which means nobody was having fun. Thankfully things have changed and Disneyland and California Adventure have many more gluten-free options.
Today I found the Wine Country Trattoria and it far surpassed my expectation of “Theme Park Food.” The restaurant sits above the walkway near Bugs’ Life; a relaxing haven of patio dining surrounded by rosemary hedges and shaded by vine-covered trellises. Indoor dining is also available, but not as inviting.
There are two dining options: A food counter with limited menu, and dining with table service. I would definitely choose the table service dining. It feels a lot more relaxed, includes the shaded terrace, and has a wider menu, especially for gluten-free options.
Wine Country Trattoria has a nice wine selection, and gluten-free pasta, breads – even a gluten-free brownie with ice cream for dessert. YUM! The kids’ menu has pizza, pasta, chicken and fish options. This mom was hungry and grumpy no more. And best of all, it was so relaxing…of course the wine flight helped.
All restaurants at Disney’s California Adventure are ADA compliant, there is a ramp entrance to the Wine Country Trattoria for wheelchairs. As with everything at Disney, things can be busy, so reservations are highly recommended. Buon appetito!
