Cinque Wine Bars received Gold in the Experience category of the Estia Awards 2024. The ceremony took place on 27 November 2023 at House 124 in Athens: the year of the awards edition differs from the calendar year of the presentation.
The official winners archive records the entry as “Η εμπειρία στα Cinque Wine Bars” — the experience at Cinque Wine Bars. For our team, the distinction celebrates the work of bringing wine, food and hospitality together.
The complete guest experience
A memorable visit is made up of many details: the welcome, the way a wine is introduced, the pace of the tasting and the attention given to questions.
Greek wine provides the starting point. The atmosphere, service and stories help guests connect a glass with the region and people behind it.
What we work to offer
- Greek wine presented with clear, useful explanations.
- Food pairings that help guests explore flavour.
- Stories of producers, varieties and vineyards.
- A personal welcome, whether the visit is planned or spontaneous.
The aim is to make learning enjoyable and to give each guest enough space to discover their own preferences.
A shared achievement
The award belongs to a wider effort. Producers supply the wines and ingredients; the Cinque team prepares and presents them; guests bring curiosity, conversation and feedback.
Thank you to the wine lovers, travellers, local visitors and returning friends who have helped shape the experience over time.
The work continues
A distinction records a moment in the journey. The quality of the next visit depends on the care and preparation we bring to it.
Our focus remains Greek wine, thoughtful pairings and hospitality that feels personal. To explore today’s locations and experiences, consult the current Cinque pages; the former Acropolis/Koukaki venue closed in late 2025.
