A Private Saturday or Sunday with Evangelia Tseliou–Prassa
Every Saturday and Sunday, a private table at Cinque Wine & Deli – Monastiraki becomes the setting for a deeply personal journey through Greek wine, food, extra virgin olive oil and hospitality.
Evangelia Tseliou–Prassa, Head of Hospitality, and Grigoris Prassas, Co-Founder of Cinque Wine & Deli, welcome you to an afternoon created exclusively for you and your group.
The experience is never combined with another booking. There are no unfamiliar participants and no standard presentation to follow — only your private party, authentic Greek flavors and the feeling of being welcomed around a Greek family table.
This is not simply a wine tasting.
It is an invitation to discover Greece through its vineyards, regional products, traditions and stories, guided by the warm and personal hospitality that has always defined Cinque.
The Greek Wine Journey
Your experience begins with an introduction to the aromas and character of Greek wine.
You will taste eight carefully selected Greek wines — four whites and four reds — representing distinctive indigenous grape varieties, regions and winemaking styles.
Each wine is presented through the story of its place of origin, the people behind it and the traditions that shaped it.
A curated selection of Greek cheeses and complementary delicacies accompanies the wines and brings each pairing to life.
Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil Tasting
Your journey continues with a guided tasting of four Greek extra virgin olive oils.
You will discover their individual aromas, textures and flavor profiles while learning how Greek origin, olive variety and production methods influence the character of each oil.
Aroma Exploration and Conversation
Throughout the experience, Evangelia and Grigoris share personal stories, practical tasting guidance and their knowledge of Greek wine, gastronomy and hospitality.
A relaxed aroma exercise will help you identify familiar scents and better understand the sensory language of wine.
No previous wine knowledge is required. Questions, conversation and curiosity are an essential part of the afternoon.

About Evangelia Tseliou–Prassa
Head of Hospitality, Cinque Wine & Deli
For Evangelia, hospitality is not a service — it is a way of life.
Born in Lamia, Central Greece, she grew up in a home where the door was always open, guests were welcomed around the family table, and food, wine, laughter and stories were meant to be shared.
Her love for wine developed in Northern Italy, where she and her husband, Grigoris, discovered a shared passion for vineyards, gastronomy and the human connections created around a table.
That passion became the vision behind Cinque, which opened its first wine and deli bar in Athens in 2015.
Evangelia holds degrees in Dentistry and French Language and Literature from the University of Athens. She speaks Greek, English, French and Italian and is currently learning Spanish, welcoming travelers from around the world with warmth and authenticity.
In 2022, Evangelia and Grigoris completed their Olive Oil Taster certification with Paratus Europe, expanding their journey into the flavors and traditions of Greek extra virgin olive oil.
