A Luxury Private Wine Tasting in Athens

Discover an exclusive Greek wine experience designed entirely around you.

A Tailor-Made Wine Journey in the Heart of Athens

If you are looking for a private wine tasting in Athens, away from crowds and standard group tours, the Private Sommelier Experience at Cinque Wine & Deli Monastiraki offers a truly personalized alternative.

Hosted by Nikitas Prassas, Certified Sommelier and Co-Founder of the Cinque Wine Bars, this experience is built around your taste profile. Every element — from the wine selection to the food pairings — is curated specifically for you.

Before your visit, you receive a short wine preference questionnaire. Based on your responses, Nikitas designs a bespoke wine flight featuring rare and premium Greek labels from Cinque’s private cellar. No two tastings are identical.

What Makes This Experience Different

This is not a standard wine tasting.

It is a fully private sommelier session. The space is reserved exclusively for you and your guests. There are no shared tables, no interruptions and no fixed script.

The pace is yours. The wines are selected for you. The conversation evolves naturally.

The Tasting

During the experience you will enjoy five glasses of 75ml each, carefully structured to create progression, balance and discovery.

Personal Sommelier Guidance

Rare and Premium Greek Wines
Boutique labels and limited releases from small producers across Greece.

Curated Pairings

The Setting – Cinque Wine & Deli Monastiraki

Located in the historic center of Athens, Cinque Monastiraki is known for its intimate atmosphere and dedication to bottled Greek wine. The space combines warmth, authenticity and understated elegance — ideal for a refined private tasting.

This experience is perfect for couples seeking a meaningful evening, small groups celebrating a special occasion, or solo travelers who want to explore Greek wine beyond the surface.

Your Story, One Glass at a Time

At Cinque, wine is not presented as a product. It is presented as a narrative.

During the Private Sommelier Experience, each glass becomes part of your own journey through Greece’s vineyards. The tasting unfolds as a conversation — personal, immersive and memorable.

This is more than a wine tasting in Athens.
It is a private introduction to Greek wine culture.
