The Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival is at the Disney California Adventure Park from February 28th - April 21, 2020. Just because you are gluten free doesn't mean you have to miss out. Many guests are unaware, but Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival has several gluten friendly options.

I will be updating this Blog post with photos and more information when I attend the event early March 2020.
Before ordering any gluten free food please ask for a Chef consult at Disneyland. Disneyland menu options, ingredients, and locations are subject to change. Please do your own research to see if this could be an option for your dietary needs by verifying with chef before consuming.
Disney doesn't typically publicize these menus on their website, but if you ask a Cast Member in person for the "Allergen Friendly menu" they will get it for you. Of course if you have multiple allergies or you are more sensitive definitely ask to speak with a chef. Disney wants to make sure to take good care of their guests with food allergies and limit possible cross contamination as much as possible.
Unfortunately there are not too many gluten free items on the menu. Below is a list of items that are gluten friendly (term Disney uses for gluten free) and which booth you can find them. Information from Disney Parks Blog Foodie Guide. For some reason not all drinks are not labelled gluten free, so I am unsure about those.
