More than 1,500 people attended the Vale Food Trail in the Vale of Glamorgan, between May 24 to June 7, which featured 32 events.
Held at locations including farms, cafés, restaurants, markets, and other independent businesses, the programme aimed to showcase the region’s food and drink sector.
Louise Denham, Food Vale co-ordinator, said: "The success of this year’s Vale Food Trail reflects the enthusiasm and generosity of our local food businesses.
"With more businesses taking part and so many choosing to collaborate, support and shine a light on one another, it’s been wonderful to see such a strong and connected food community in action."
Roughly 30 businesses were directly involved, supported by broader community events such as the Cowbridge Farmers Market.
The trail offered a wide range of experiences, including farm tours, tasting sessions, open days, workshops, and special menus.
All activities were designed to connect the public with local producers, seasonal food, and sustainable food practices.
Businesses reported a range of benefits from taking part, including increased visibility, stronger community engagement and opportunities to reach new audiences.
The Vale Food Trail is organised by Food Vale, Vale of Glamorgan Council, Visit the Vale and Cywain.
The organisations work together to support a thriving and sustainable food and drink sector across the region.
