Greek Olive Oil Dining Experience in Athens | Cinque Wine & Deli

Greek Olive Oil Dining Experience in Athens

This experience goes beyond tasting.
It is a meal built around olive oil.

The Greek Olive Oil Dining Experience is a unique, olive oil–focused small lunch or dinner that combines guided olive oil tasting with a curated food menu, allowing guests to explore how Extra Virgin Olive Oil transforms dishes — from savoury to sweet.

Hosted across selected locations of the Cinque Wine & Deli network, this experience is designed for guests seeking a deep, memorable and hands-on culinary journey.

Guided Olive Oil Tasting

The experience begins with a guided tasting of four Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oils, presented in professional olive oil tasting glasses.

Each olive oil is explained in detail, covering:

• aroma and flavour profile

• fruitiness, bitterness and pungency

• regional and varietal differences

• how olive oil behaves on its own

This introduction prepares guests to fully understand and experiment with olive oil throughout the meal.

An Olive Oil–Driven Small Meal

After the tasting, guests are served four carefully designed dishes, created to highlight how olive oil interacts with different textures and flavours:

• Salad with cherry tomatoes, rusks and feta cheese

• Chicken fillet

• Fava spread

• Olive oil–based ice cream

Each guest has the olive oil bottles on the table, allowing them to:

• drizzle different olive oils on each dish

• compare results in real time

• discover which olive oil works best with each plate — and why

This hands-on experimentation is the heart of the experience.

From Tasting to Understanding

This experience bridges the gap between:

• professional olive oil tasting

• everyday cooking

• creative gastronomy

Guests leave not only having eaten well, but with a clear understanding of how to choose and use olive oil at home, across savoury and sweet dishes.

• food lovers and culinary explorers
