Exploring Mâconnais, Mathieu Paquet @ Daróg Wine Bar
Daróg
Wine Bar (Irish for "small oak tree") offers a unique wine and dining
experience that highlights organic and biodynamic wines, thoughtfully paired
with seasonal dishes. Opened in July 2023 by husband-and-wife team Zsolt Lukács
and Edel McMahon-Lukács, Daróg has quickly become known for its commitment to
sustainability, quality, and community.
In 2025, Daróg Wine Bar was awarded a Bib Gourmand by the MICHELIN Guide, recognising its exceptional food at great value. Zsolt, a sommelier with twelve years of experience at the MICHELIN-starred Aniar Restaurant, was also honoured with a sommelier award from the Michelin Guide 2025, further cementing Daróg’s reputation for excellence in wine curation
Daróg Wine Bar continues its Turas Fíona series with the fourth wine talk in the series of six scheduled for Spring 2025. The tasting, with a theme, Exploring Mâconnais will be presented by Mathieu Paquet from Famille Paquet in Burgundy, and will take place on Wednesday, 23rd April, 2025.
Famille Paquet, originally founded as Domaine des Valanges in 1980 by Jocelyne and Michel Paquet, is now run by their three son, Jean-Baptiste, Mathieu, and Camille. Their approach to winemaking is deeply rooted in sustainability, with a focus on minimal intervention and organic farming, a commitment that earned the estate full organic certification in 2021.
