Le Chéile: An Evening of Creative Conversations at Daróg with Emer Whelan

Art. Wine. Conversation. Together.

“Le Chéile” means “together” in Irish—and that’s exactly what these evenings at Daróg are about. A space to slow down, connect, and share stories through wine and art.

Our next Le Chéile evening takes place on Monday 9th June and features Galway-based artist Emer Whelan and her powerful series Lignis. Through sculptural drawings made with salvaged wood, wax, and graphite, Emer explores the deep emotional and symbolic connection between trees and the human body. Her work evokes both resilience and fragility—strength rooted in vulnerability.

On the night, Emer will speak in conversation with owner Edel Lukács, about her creative process and the ideas behind the work, offering guests a rare glimpse into her world.

To accompany the evening, one of our sommeliers will guide you through a tasting of two glasses of wine selected to complement the evening. There’ll be time to chat, ask questions, and view (or purchase) the work in a relaxed and intimate setting.

✨ Guests will receive 10% off all artwork purchases made on the night. ✨

Date: Monday 9th June
Time: 7:00–9:00 PM
Tickets: €20 pp – includes two glasses of wine, artist talk, and 10% off artwork on the night.

Booking essential – limited places.
Cheese and charcuterie plates available to order on the night.
Please note: there will be no dinner service available on the evening.
