Wine & Chocolate Tasting

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 experience Wine & Chocolate Tasting in Glyfada 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.

Enjoy this Cinque experience at our Glyfada location, at Markou Botsari 8 on the Athens Riviera.

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.

Greek Wines Featured

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

• White, semi-sweet wine
• White, naturally sweet wine
• Rosé, dry wine
• Red, dry wine

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