PROGRAM

Beneath starlit skies and beside glowing fires, discover a new generation of winemakers breathing fresh life into 160 years of fortified and full-bodied tradition.

Every glass tells a story. Every moment reveals a secret.

From August 8 to 17, Dark Side of Wine returns to Rutherglen with over ten days and nights of immersive wine, food, and cultural experiences.

By day, uncover untold tales through tastings, trails, and tours. By night, candlelit cask rooms, secret cinemas, and dining experience reimagined await. This is not your usual wine festival—it’s a celebration of what hides beneath the surface.

Join our vignerons, performers, chefs, and storytellers as we open the cellars and lift the veil on 160 years of tradition, transformation, and fortified flair.
