‘Le Chéile’ — An Evening of Art, Wine & Conversation at Daróg Wine Bar
Artist Conversation | Wine Tasting | Pop-Up Art Shop
Join us for an intimate evening of wine, art and conversation in the warm candlelit setting of Daróg Wine Bar.
Each Le Chéile gathering brings artists and guests together for relaxed, thoughtful conversation centred around creativity, storytelling and connection. During the evening, the exhibiting artist shares insights into their practice, creative journey, and the work currently on display at Daróg.
Alongside the conversation, guests will enjoy a guided wine tasting and the opportunity to explore a curated pop-up art shop featuring original artworks and prints.
‘Le Chéile’ means “together” in Irish — a reflection of what these evenings are designed to create: meaningful connection through art, conversation and shared experience.
Whether you’re a long-time art lover or simply curious, Le Chéile offers a welcoming space to slow down, share ideas, and experience art in an intimate and social setting.
