THE PEOPLE OF CINQUE
Evangelia Tseliou-Prassa
Head of Hospitality · Cinque Wine & Deli
The warmth that makes a visit feel like coming home.
For Evangelia, hospitality begins with noticing people: a warm welcome, a thoughtful detail, a conversation that makes guests feel at ease. She brings that personal care to the Cinque experience, every day.
Hospitality, from the very beginning
Born in Lamia, Evangelia grew up in a home where the door was open and there was always room for another guest at the table. Sharing food, making time and welcoming people were part of everyday life.
That generous approach became the foundation of the hospitality she brings to Cinque: attentive, natural and personal.
A shared journey into wine
In 2004, a journey to Northern Italy with her husband, Grigoris Prassas, opened a new chapter of wine discovery. Seminars, tastings, cooking lessons and visits to producers gradually shaped a shared idea.
That idea became Cinque in Lamia in 2012. In 2015, Evangelia moved to Athens with her family to dedicate herself to its next chapter.
KNOWLEDGE & EXPERIENCE
Experience, curiosity & care
A varied professional background and an interest in people, languages and taste shape her approach to hospitality.
A personal approach to service
Evangelia studied at the School of Dentistry of the University of Athens and worked for more than twenty years in the family business before dedicating herself fully to Cinque.
At Cinque, she is present on the floor: welcoming guests, understanding their preferences and helping each visit unfold comfortably.
Languages & sensory discovery
Her language background includes ten years of French studies, two years of private Italian lessons, fluency in English and continued learning in Spanish.
In 2022, together with Grigoris, she earned certification in Extra Virgin Olive Oil Tasting from Paratus Europe.
Private wine seminars, masterclasses and cooking lessons remain part of her ongoing learning, connecting the pleasure of the table with the knowledge behind it.
Making every guest feel welcome
Evangelia approaches hospitality through attention and generosity. She takes time to listen, helps guests feel comfortable and creates space for conversation.
For visitors discovering Greek wine and food, that personal connection is an essential part of the experience.
