Cinque Wine & Deli’s
Winning Streak Continues in 2024
Silver Medal at the Greek Tourism Awards Celebrating Excellence in Gastronomy & Wine Tourism
We are proud to announce that Cinque Wine & Deli has been awarded the Silver Medal at the Greek Tourism Awards 2024, further strengthening our long-standing presence among Greece’s leading gastronomy and wine tourism destinations.
This new distinction adds another chapter to a journey defined by consistency, authenticity and a deep respect for Greek wine and hospitality.
A Prestigious Institution Celebrating Greek Tourism Excellence
The Greek Tourism Awards are one of the country’s most respected institutions, recognizing outstanding contributions to Greece’s tourism economy for over a decade. In 2024, the awards celebrated their 11th anniversary, marking more than ten years of innovation, quality and visionary hospitality across the Greek tourism sector.
Being recognized among the pioneers and innovators of Greek tourism is a true honor for the Cinque team — and a responsibility we carry with pride.
A Journey Defined by Quality, Innovation & Filoxenia
For more than eight years, Cinque Wine & Deli has been dedicated to promoting high-quality standards, innovation and meaningful hospitality within Greek gastronomy. Through carefully designed spaces, curated wine experiences and a strong educational approach, Cinque has carved a special place in the hearts of guests from Greece and around the world.
This award reflects not a single moment of success, but an ongoing commitment to elevating the way Greek wine and food are experienced and shared.
A Consistent Record of Recognition
The 2024 Silver Medal marks the third distinction Cinque Wine & Deli has received from the Greek Tourism Awards:
Bronze Medal – 2017
The only award in the category of “Wine Culture” that year
Silver Medal – 2019
For Wine Experience
Silver Medal – 2024
For Gastronomy & Wine Tourism
This continued recognition confirms a clear trajectory: steady growth, consistent quality and unwavering dedication to excellence in hospitality.
Representing Cinque on the National Stage
The Silver Award was received during a glamorous ceremony in Athens by Nikitas Prassas, CEO, Oenologist and Sommelier of Cinque, together with Sophia Drakou, Oenologist and Sommelier, on behalf of the entire Cinque team.
This moment symbolized the collective effort behind every experience, tasting and conversation shared at Cinque.
Inspired by Greek Filoxenia & Love for Greek Wine
As Nikitas Prassas has said:
“Our inspiration comes from Greek filoxenia and our love for Greek wine.”
These two values remain at the heart of everything we do — from intimate tastings and wine flights to spontaneous visits and long conversations around the table.
Experience the Story Behind the Awards
At Cinque Wine & Deli, awards are not the goal — they are the result of genuine connection.
Connection between people, places, flavors and stories.
We would be delighted to welcome you and show you in person how these distinctions came to be. From discussing sensory profiles over rows of glasses ready for wine flights to answering your questions with knowledge and passion, the Cinque Experience is about sharing — not showcasing.
Visit us and let us guide you through a modern Greek gastronomic journey, rich in flavor, authenticity and human connection.
Cheers to good food, good company and unforgettable memories.
Yamas.
