SUPPORTING PARTNERS
Dark Side of Wine doesn’t simply happen, it is brought to life.
Behind every flicker of candlelight, every story told in a cellar, and every glass poured after dark, is a collective effort from a region that believes in something bigger than an event. This festival is a reflection of Rutherglen itself, it is collaborative, creative and deeply connected.
From winemakers and growers to local businesses, creatives and volunteers, Dark Side of Wine is powered by people who call this region home.
It’s their stories, their spaces and their passion that transform familiar places into something unexpected. Together, they create the atmosphere, the warmth and the sense of discovery that defines the festival.
FUNDING PARTNERS
