Daróg Owners Edel & Zsolt Lukács

Delighted to share some wonderful news — Daróg has been awarded Best Wine Experience in Connaught and Overall Best Wine Experience in Ireland at the Food & Wine Awards 2025.

To be recognised on a national level for something so close to our hearts means a lot. From the beginning, our aim has been to create a space where great wine feels approachable — where stories from small vineyards are shared at the table, and every glass has a sense of place. The judges of the Food & Wine Awards shared:

Approachable, informative, fun: the winners of our Wine Experience of the Year Award take joy in what they do. They are willing and able to assist those customers who need help navigating the wine list, while also offering some new options to those who are a little more adventurous. Their lists complement their food offering, and have an appropriate range of pricing options for their location.

A massive thank you to our amazing team for all their hard work and care, and to everyone who’s supported us along the way — guests, producers, and friends near and far.
