2.Half-Day Famous Georgian Supra Feast

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 13 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $150

Start with an old Tbilisi walk, then visit a hereditary winemaking family for khinkali and khachapuri lessons, a generous supra, homemade wine, chacha, Georgian dancing, and polyphonic singing. The small group is limited to eight, though one evening included Russian-speaking guests and limited English translation.

“This was an amazing experience, truly unforgettable! The food was incredible, we loved the masterclass in khinkali and khachapuri. Our host (tameda/toastmaster) created a great atmosphere, and made sure everyone was welcome and connected with each other. We were English speakers and the host organised an excellent English translator for the evening, his English was flawless and he was knowledgeable about Georgian culture and history. The logistics were all arranged for us so we didnt have to worry about anything. We left with an international set of new friends. Couldn't recommend this experience more highly, very worth the money. Thank you so much!”
