Chef Network Skill Social Series presents: Daróg x Chef Network, The Art of Pairing: Chef & Sommelier in Conversation
Monday 25th May 2026
Time: 17:00-19:00pm
Location: Daróg Wine Bar, 56 Lower Dominick St, Galway CityAn evening dedicated to collaboration, flavour and the craft of pairing.
In partnership with Chef Network, this educational event will explore how a head chef and a sommelier work together to shape a menu. Through a series of small plates and cheeses, each paired with wine, Zsolt will share the sommelier’s perspective, while our Head Chef, Stiofán Feeney, will talk through the thinking behind each dish.
The focus is the working relationship between kitchen and floor. At Daróg, we aim for a fluid approach, where both teams support and influence each other, working together to create balance across a menu.
Throughout the evening, we’ll explore:
• Pairing wine with small plates
• Cheese and wine pairing approaches
• Acidity, texture and weight in pairing
• Seasonal thinking
• Practical collaboration between chef and sommelier
This will be relaxed and conversational, with space for questions, discussion and connection.
Open to members of Chef Network.
Cost: €70
Limited tickets available
