THEY came from far and wide on Sunday for the 6th annual Loch Food and Wine Festival.
The usually quiet main street was overflowing with people looking to taste some local wares and sample a drop or two.
Everything you could think of food wise was up for sale ,while a large selection of local wineries had many unique wines available for taste testing and purchase.
Music flowed through the street with various musical acts stationed around the festival.
Cherie Smirl, one member of the team of organisers behind the festival, said it was an awesome day.
“I can estimate and saw over 4000 people came through the town on the day,” she said.
“And all reports from stallholders were they made a roaring trade.”
Ms Smirl said the weather could not have been better.
“It was perfect weather for the festival and that help draw people from all over Gippsland and Melbourne’s eastern suburbs,” she said.
“It was a real family orientated day as well so it was great to see so many families getting around the festival.”
The festival is set to run again in 2014.
