In 2019<\/strong>, Cinque Wine & Deli<\/strong> was honored with the Silver Award for Wine Experience<\/strong> at the prestigious Tourism Awards Greece<\/strong>, further strengthening its position as one of the most awarded and respected wine bar concepts in Athens \u2014 with growing international recognition.<\/p>

This distinction did not celebrate a single moment in time, but rather years of consistent dedication<\/strong> to Greek wine education, experiential hospitality, and authentic storytelling through wine.<\/p>

The award was received by Nikitas Prassas<\/strong>, Oenologist and Sommelier, and Head Sommelier of Cinque Wine & Deli \u2014 a key figure behind the development of Cinque\u2019s wine philosophy, curated tastings, and experience-led approach to Greek wine.<\/p>

More Than an Award \u2014 A Philosophy in Action<\/strong><\/h2>

The Silver Award for Wine Experience<\/strong> reflected the very principles that had defined Cinque since its early years:<\/p>

- Curated Greek wine journeys, not generic tastings<\/p>

- Indigenous grape varieties presented with depth, clarity, and context<\/p>

- A welcoming, human-centered hospitality approach<\/p>

- Wine approached as culture and storytelling<\/strong>, not simple consumption<\/p>

Each experience at Cinque was designed to educate, connect, and leave a lasting impression \u2014 whether for first-time visitors discovering Greek wine or returning guests deepening their understanding.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Consistency That Set Cinque Apart<\/strong><\/h2>

Receiving the Tourism Awards Silver distinction in 2019<\/strong> marked another important chapter in a growing series of national and international recognitions.<\/p>

Together, these distinctions confirmed Cinque as a benchmark wine bar concept<\/strong>, combining:<\/p>

- High-level wine expertise<\/p>

- Structured experience design<\/p>

- Operational consistency<\/p>

- Emotional guest connection<\/p>

This long-term recognition distinguished Cinque globally \u2014 not as a trend-driven venue, but as a sustainable, scalable, and authentic wine experience model<\/strong> rooted in Greek culture.<\/p>

A Thank You That Still Matters<\/strong><\/h2>

Every award at Cinque has always carried the same meaning:
a heartfelt thank you to the guests who trusted us, tasted with us, asked questions, and shared moments around a glass of Greek wine.<\/p>

The 2019 Silver Award<\/strong> belonged to everyone who believed \u2014 and continues to believe \u2014 that Greek wine deserves to be experienced at its best<\/strong>.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/article><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
