Wine & Chocolate Tasting in Athens | Cinque Wine & Deli

Wine & Chocolate Tasting in Athens

Wine and chocolate are often described as one of the most challenging food and wine pairings — despite their shared richness, depth and aromatic intensity.

The Wine & Chocolate Tasting in Athens is a guided sensory experience designed to explore contrast, balance and surprise, pairing Greek wines with different chocolate styles in a thoughtful and structured way.

This experience is hosted across selected locations of the Cinque Wine & Deli network, allowing you to enjoy it in the setting that best fits your journey through the city.

Exploring Wine & Chocolate Pairing

During this tasting, you will sample four Greek wines, each paired with a different type of chocolate to highlight how sweetness, bitterness, texture and intensity interact.

The chocolate selection includes:

• White chocolate

• Milk chocolate

• Dark chocolate (56% cocoa)

• Dark chocolate (65% cocoa)

Each pairing invites comparison and discussion, revealing why wine and chocolate can be challenging — but deeply rewarding — when matched correctly.

The tasting includes a curated selection of four Greek wines, representing different styles:

• White, semi-sweet wine

Together, they offer a broad overview of how Greek wines behave when paired with varying levels of cocoa and sweetness.
