We also stock a range of spirits, beers and have a modest classic cocktail list. We also offer a range of non-alcoholic beverages, beers and mocktails. Our food offering is a range of grazing boards and a mix of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean meze plates or pull it all apart to try the meze plate items on their own.
Cin Cin
There are mixed stories around the origins of the phrase ‘cin cin’, pronounced ‘chin chin’ the Italian way of saying ‘cheers’. Cin cin has ancient Chinese origins, the phase ‘qing qing’ was also used by the Chinese to make a toast. During the Victorian era Italian merchants, missionaries and adventurers adopted the phrase from Chinese merchants because they liked the sound of the phrase as it resembled the sound of glasses clinking together. Located in Kiama just up the road from the Little Blowhole, “better than the big blowhole” in our opinion, and views of the ocean come and pay us a visit next time your your in the area.
Supporting the Arts
As the Mayor Neil Reilly said at the official opening, “Wine in itself is an artform”. So it is only fitting that Cin Cin Wine Bar support the local arts in and around Kiama and the Illawarra region. We will be supporting artists, musicians and entertainers by exhibiting their art, having Sunday afternoon music sessions and other forms of entertainment from time to time. Our space is limited so we will offer smaller, intimate forms of live music and entertainment. Currently on display is Gitte Backhausen’s solo exhibition titled Gentle Wilderness.
