Cinque Wine & Deli 7.7 /10

Cinque Wine & Deli is a Greek wine hospitality brand founded in 2012 in Athens by Grigoris Prassas and Evangelia Tseliou-Prassa. Under the umbrella Cinque – The Greek Wine Journey, the concept brings together Greek wines, guided tastings, selected Greek deli products and personal hospitality.

The current network includes Cinque Psirri – The Founders’ Edition, Cinque Monastiraki – The Advanced Edition, and Cinque Wine & Deli Glyfada, our franchise location. The concept serves both local guests and international visitors, with experiences designed around the discovery of Greek wine and food culture.

Revenue opportunities include wine by the glass and bottle, curated wine and olive oil tastings, food pairings, retail wine and deli sales, private celebrations and corporate group experiences, according to the selected format and local market.

Franchise partners receive guidance on concept development, wine and product selection, staff training, hospitality standards and marketing. Store requirements and investment depend on the format, premises and market. Our goal is to work with committed partners who share our approach to Greek wine hospitality. Greek wines by the glass and bottle; guided Greek wine tastings and food pairings; selected Greek cheeses, charcuterie, chutneys and deli products; extra virgin olive oil tastings and retail sales; retail wine; private wine celebrations; corporate wine experiences and Wine Quest activities. The product and experience mix is adapted to each approved store format and local operating requirements. USA, Europe, Canada, Australia, Greece, Cyprus. The process begins with an introductory discussion about the applicant’s background, target market and proposed location. We share the Franchise Prospectus and assess the partner and premises, select the appropriate format, and review the investment and commercial terms. Following agreement and completion of the contractual process, we proceed with planning, training and opening support. We seek committed franchise partners with a passion for hospitality and Greek wine culture. Previous wine expertise is helpful but is not a prerequisite, as training is provided. Partners should take an active role in the business, recruit and manage their team, follow approved brand and service standards, use the agreed product and supplier framework, and maintain consistent guest service and operational quality. Support includes concept and premises planning, guidance during setup and opening, Greek wine and deli product curation, supplier guidance, initial staff training and ongoing hospitality and wine education. Cinque also provides brand guidelines, marketing guidance, new product and experience development, and ongoing quality support.
