The lower end of the township's main street was packed with stalls, tables, entertainment and thousands of people enjoying the wine, food, and craft work on offer, along with some fine weather.
A kart track was in operation for children, and at the other end of the street there was live music and an opportunity for people to take a seat and relax during the afternoon.
Among exhibitors at the festival were 20 Central Otago wineries, 16 food stalls, as well as coffee and food suppliers from Dunedin, Roxburgh, Invercargill, Winton and Queenstown.
In its seventh year, the festival was organised by Promote Dunstan to celebrate the grape harvest, which typically begins throughout the district at the end of March.
Buses ran on the hour from Alexandra to Clyde, where the main street was closed to traffic for the event, and another bus brought people from Cromwell.
There was also a plant, produce and arts and crafts market, and a Central Otago Arts Society exhibition at Clyde's Masonic Lodge.
