Corporate Hospitality at Cinque: An Experience, a Game or a Gift?
A team gathering, a thank you to a client and a gift for colleagues call for different decisions. Start with what you want people to share: time together, the freedom to choose their own visit, or something personal to take home.

Start with the occasion
Corporate wine hospitality in Athens can take several forms at Cinque. You can bring people together for a hosted experience, make a game part of the event, offer an experience card, or choose a personalised wine gift. Each choice serves a different purpose.
Before choosing wines or packaging, ask a simpler question: do you want everyone to meet at the same time? That answer helps separate an event from a gift, and makes the rest of the brief easier to shape.
When shared time is the priority
A hosted wine experience gives a team or a group of clients a reason to gather around a table. A guided tasting suits people who want to discover Greek wine through conversation. An Executive Wine Table offers a more private setting for leaders, partners or visiting clients.
The venue matters, too. A gathering at Cinque has the character of a wine bar; an experience at your office, hotel or event venue needs a format designed around the available space and the programme. Our corporate experiences page explains the available approaches.
When the team wants to play
Cinque Team Wine Quest adds shared decisions, tasting challenges and scoring to the experience. Participants work in teams, discuss their answers and follow the progress of the game with a host.
This can suit a team day or an informal company celebration where taking part is central to the occasion. For a client reception where people arrive and leave at different times, a Wine Corner may fit the flow more naturally.
Read how a Team Wine Quest experience unfolds to understand the role of the tasting, physical cards and digital game.
When people should choose their own moment
An experience card or gift voucher lets the recipient arrange a later visit instead of joining a fixed company event. It is a useful starting point when colleagues have different schedules or when a thank you is intended for one person rather than a whole group.
Discuss the value, personal message, presentation and redemption arrangements with Cinque when preparing the order. The card and its agreed terms should make it clear what the recipient can use it for and how to arrange their visit.
When the gift should go home with them
A personalised wine gift creates a different kind of gesture: something to open and share after the meeting or celebration. Greek wines, deli accompaniments and company branding can form part of a proposal shaped around the recipient and occasion.
Our guide to personalised corporate wine gifts shows the wooden gift boxes and the available approach to personalisation. An event and a gift can also work together, provided each has a clear place in the brief.
Five details that make a useful brief
- The people: who the occasion is for and how many will take part.
- The purpose: team time, client hospitality, recognition or a thank you.
- The place and date: at Cinque, at your venue, or a gift delivered separately.
- The budget: an overall amount or a target per guest or recipient.
- The practical needs: language, dietary requirements, branding and timing.
These details help us recommend an appropriate format and set out exactly what the proposal includes. The starting point is the relationship you want to recognise; the wine, game and gift follow from there.
