Do It Like Ancient Greeks – Wine & Food Experience for Two in Athens | Cinque Wine & Deli

Do It Like Ancient Greeks – A Wine & Food Experience for Two

Athens is a city where ancient history still shapes everyday life.
Do It Like Ancient Greeks is a unique wine and food experience that invites you to enjoy wine the way it was served thousands of years ago.

Designed for two guests, this experience blends ancient Greek tradition, storytelling and sensory immersion, offering a rare glimpse into how wine and food were shared in antiquity.

The experience is hosted across selected locations of the Cinque Wine & Deli network, allowing you to choose where to step back in time.

Wine the Ancient Way

You will enjoy one bottle of Greek wine (750ml) — red or white — selected from indigenous Greek grape varieties.

Wine is:

• poured from a Krater (ancient Greek mixing vessel)

• served in Pythagoras’ cups, inspired by ancient Greek household utensils

Instead of modern glassware, the experience focuses on ritual, symbolism and shared consumption, just as it was practiced in Ancient Greece.

Ancient Greek Food Pairing

The wine is paired with a plate inspired by ancient Greek dietary traditions, based on historical sources and texts.

The plate includes:

• Rusks

• Greek olives

• Feta cheese

• Salted nuts

• Fresh fruit & dried fruits

• Seasonal vegetables

This pairing reflects the simplicity and balance of ancient Greek eating habits, designed to accompany wine rather than overpower it.

• Plates decorated in ancient Greek style
