5.00This was such a wholesome experience, being welcomed into a family home by Mariam, and Madea. The opportunity to learn their cooking techniques and shown their culture, was not lost on me, sharing home made wine and being toasted by Avto, this was genuinely one of the highlights of my trip. This is Georgian hospitality at its best, thankyou for making me feel like family. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough.

5.00Great local cooking class experience hosted at a family's home. They were very friendly and welcoming, Luka and his grandmother were great teachers. They taught us how to make the traditional dishes phkali, Khinkali, imeretian khachapuri and adjarian khachapuri. Everything tasted amazing. Make sure you come hungry! If you can't finish everything, they can pack up the leftovers for you which was great for us!
