A company celebration in Athens can start with a shared discovery: a Greek grape variety nobody at the table has tried, a food pairing that sparks a conversation, or a question that gets colleagues working together. At Cinque, Greek wine gives the gathering a clear focus while leaving room for the people around it. For a Christmas party, a year-end thank-you or a team get-together, the first decision is the kind of evening you want to create.
Some teams want an activity everyone can join. Others prefer an unhurried table, good food and time to talk. Start with that choice before selecting wines or a venue. The Cinque Corporate programme offers experiences at Cinque locations and at offices, hotels and event venues, with the format agreed around the group, the space and the occasion.
For an interactive gathering, Cinque Team Wine Quest combines tasting with team challenges, physical cards and a digital game. Its base format includes three Greek wines—white, rosé and red—three Greek cheeses and approximately one hour of hosted activity. Teams answer questions, follow live scores and work towards a final winner. No previous wine knowledge is required: the host introduces the wines and guides the experience.
The corporate format can be expanded with additional rounds, company questions, branded material or prizes. These details are agreed in the proposal. Think about what you would like colleagues to share: a playful challenge, a discovery about Greek wine or a relaxed opening to a longer celebration. The activity should fit the evening’s programme and leave enough time for conversation.
For a smaller celebration at Cinque Monastiraki, Cinque Celebration provides a two-hour format with a welcome drink, three Greek wines, an individual food board and a dedicated host. Cinque Wine Quest, the private celebration package, adds four Greek wines after the welcome wine, Wine Play Cards and personalised challenges. This is a separate package from the corporate Team Wine Quest described above.
For a more wine-focused occasion, Cinque Cellar Celebration offers three hours with a sommelier, a welcome wine, four premium cellar wines and an individual premium food board. These three celebration packages take place at Cinque Monastiraki and list groups of 6–14 adults, with up to 20 considered on request. The appropriate arrangement for a company group is confirmed with the team.
If your festive event already has a venue, Cinque can become part of it. A Team Wine Quest can provide a scheduled group activity, while hosted Wine Corners let guests explore a region, wine style or pairing as they move around the event. Wines, glassware, food pairings, hosts and branding can be included in the agreed setup. The proposal reflects the space, guest count, service needs and programme.
Before requesting a proposal, gather the preferred date, approximate guest count, location, available time and budget range. Mention whether you want a seated tasting, a team game or an activity within a larger reception. Share the preferred language, dietary requirements and allergies, and ask about suitable arrangements for guests who do not drink alcohol. Any need for exclusive use of a venue should be agreed explicitly.
A thoughtful company celebration gives people something to discover together and time to enjoy each other’s company. Request a corporate proposal from Cinque with your people, place and occasion, and let the team suggest a format for your festive gathering.
