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!

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!
