Cinque Wine & Deli at the French Embassy in Athens

Cinque Wine & Deli participates in Goût de France 2019, the global celebration of French gastronomy, hosted at the French Embassy in Athens.

Goût de France is not simply a gastronomic event. It is an international cultural initiative that brings together thousands of venues across five continents, celebrating cuisine as a universal language — one that expresses joy, heritage, sharing and joie de vivre. Cinque’s presence in this global celebration confirms the brand’s international orientation and its ability to engage in meaningful cultural dialogue beyond borders.

An International Evening of Gastronomy & Culture

On the evening of March 2019, one of Athens’ most emblematic and historic buildings welcomes nearly 800 guests, creating a meeting point for diplomats, professionals, journalists and lovers of gastronomy.

Within this prestigious setting, Cinque Wine & Deli presents a refined gastronomic proposal inspired by French culinary tradition and interpreted through its own experiential philosophy. Guests experience a curated selection of French cheeses, paired with homemade chutneys, alongside Cinque’s patented loukoumi — a signature creation that bridges tradition with innovation.

Each element reflects balance, craftsmanship and respect for culinary identity — values deeply shared by both French and Greek gastronomic cultures.

A Dialogue Between Cultures

Although Cinque Wine & Deli is dedicated to Greek wine and Greek products, its participation in Goût de France highlights something more essential than origin alone: a shared gastronomic philosophy.

As Alain Ducasse states:
“Parler de cuisine — de cuisine française — c’est parler de joie de vivre, de légèreté, d’optimisme et de plaisir.”

These values resonate naturally with Cinque’s approach to hospitality — an approach that views food and wine as cultural expressions, emotional connectors and living narratives.

International Recognition of a Distinct Wine & Gastronomy Concept

Participation in Goût de France 2019 strengthens Cinque Wine & Deli’s international profile and positions the brand as:

— a wine bar concept with global cultural awareness
— a trusted partner of international institutions and embassies
— a point of reference for experiential gastronomy
— one of the few wine bars consistently present in international culinary initiatives

This presence aligns with Cinque’s broader journey as one of the most awarded wine bar brands, recognized for its authenticity, consistency and cultural depth.
