Set up in 2010 by the Fyne Ales team as a small beer, music and local food festival, Fynefest has grown over the years from 350 visitors in the early days to over 2000 to date.
Celebrating Scottish produce, the festival takes place in the fields adjacent to the brewery and this year will play host many fine producers such as Loch Fyne Oysters, Winston Churchill Venison, Homeground Coffee and The Real Mackay Stovie Co.
The festival will also serve over 200 different beers in the Courtyard Bar and Brewery Tap Room and Brewer's Bar and Cocktail Lounge.
For those looking to soak up the beautiful scenery, a drink can be enjoyed at the Walker's Bar located an hour's walk up Glen Fyne in an old bothy. This year also sees the addition of the Half Pint Bar, located at the halfway point on route to the Walker's Bar.
Live music is also a big part of the festival, and a range of bands playing an eclectic mix of music will be on stage from the Friday night.

Taking place over the spring bank holiday weekend, this foodie festival has grown to become a much-loved addition to the spring/summer lineup in Scotland.
Hosted by the owners of Monachyle Mhor Hotel (who also own cool motel Mhor 84), this festival is fun for all the family with a great selection of food, drink, events such as the annual raft race, theatre, music and dance.
Whilst the whole festival is a food-lovers haven, it's the Friday night that goes all out. For the first time the festival sees an all female chef line up for the coveted 5-course Mhor Feast (pre-booking essential).
