The year 2017 marked a true milestone in the journey of Cinque Wine & Deli.

At the ESTIA Awards 2017, Cinque was honored with the Silver Award in the Café-Bar Total Experience category, recognizing a philosophy that had already begun to stand out within the Greek gastronomy and hospitality landscape.

From that moment on, it became clear that Cinque was not simply another wine bar in Athens — but the foundation of a distinct, experience-driven wine bar concept, one that would go on to become the most consistently awarded wine bar brand in Greece, with recognitions at both national and international level.

An Award Rooted in Greek Identity

The distinction at the ESTIA Awards 2017 came as a reward for the collective effort of the Cinque team to present Greek bottled wine not merely as a product, but as a cultural ambassador — an essential expression of Greek gastronomy, history, and hospitality.

Located in the heart of Athens’ historic center, in the picturesque neighborhood of Psyrri, Cinque created a meeting point for visitors from all over the world, where:

- Twelve Greek wineries were introduced through wines served by the glass

- Each label was accompanied by historical, geographical, and cultural storytelling

- Guests were guided through indigenous Greek grape varieties with clarity and depth

From the very beginning, Cinque invested in knowledge, connection, and experience — not in simple consumption.
