Great cooking class experience

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!

5.00This was my first time doing a cooking class such as this, but it ended up being the highlight of my entire trip to Georgia (so far)! The whole family was so welcoming and kind, and it was great to have a deep conversation with Luka and learn about the country and it's culture and music. I would recommend this to anyone planning on visiting Georgia! 100% worthwhile and a fantastic experience!
Great experience full of tastes and good mood!

5.00The cooking class was very interesting and insightful. We were able to make Kachapuri and Khinkali ourselves and it was very fun. Luka and his grandmother have been super friendly and have explained and shown everything. The atmosphere was super good and after we cooked we all ate together. Friends and family also joined in and it was like a huge party! it was one of the best experiences in Georgia! The whole family is so hearty and sweet! Thanks for this experience, I recommend it to everyone!

5.00It was a great decision to choose this evening to get to know Georgian culture, people and food. The family served a table for us, where we tasted the prepared food and wine together as a family. I believe that one evening with my family we will cook Georgian dishes and remember today. Please note that Google Maps does not display the address correctly on the map.

Amazing Georgian cooking class with a loving family

5.00This was one of my favourite experiences in Kutaisi, and one of my favourite experiences all-around while travelling! The food was absolutely delicious, but what made the experience truly unique was how lovely the hosting family is. Luca and his grandparents were wonderful at helping us follow along, teaching us about Georgian culture and keeping the atmosphere lively. We learned how to make khinkali, two different types of khachapurri and Georgian salad, all with local ingredients including their own homemade cheese! The evening ended with a small dinner together before heading home. Definitely a memorable experience, I would recommend it to people travelling solo or in groups.
Cooking a feast, with a family that loves you!!

5.00This experience was literally the most fun I’ve ever had with a group of people ever. The laughs, memories, experiences and lessons taught during this cooking class were amazing. I went with a group of three other people and Mariam and the host family were so welcoming and inviting. We made/ate Khinkali, various forms of Kachapuri, eggplant rolls, bell pepper rolls, had homemade white wine, and had a blast of a time with the host family afterwards. I loved every minute of this experience and my group and I made so many memories because of this experience. We 100% recommend this activity to anyone wanting an authentic Georgian experience who wants to have a great time eating delicious food! Thank you Mariam 🫶.
