A six-day route from Tbilisi through Kakheti and Imereti to Batumi, built around four hands-on cooking classes in four different regional kitchens.
- —Four real cooking classes, not one demo repeated: Kakhetian mtsvadi, Imeretian khachapuri and lobio, Megrelian spices at Kutaisi market, Adjarian khachapuri and fish in Batumi
- —Lunch in a working wine cellar in Kakheti, cooked alongside the family that owns it
- —A village household in Imereti rather than a restaurant kitchen for the khachapuri and lobio class
- —Covers Georgia's three main culinary regions plus the capital, so you taste the real differences between them rather than one generic menu
- —Private car and licensed guide for the whole route, so transfers between regions are not left to public transport schedules
- —Ends on the Black Sea coast in Batumi, with time for the boulevard and Old Town alongside the cooking

How much does this cost?
€1890 per person based on two people travelling together. Solo travellers and groups of three or more are quoted separately, contact us for a figure.
Can you handle vegetarian or allergy requirements?
Yes, tell us at booking. The cooking classes and cellar lunch can be adjusted; some village dishes use dairy and pork by tradition.
Is this suitable without any cooking experience?
Yes, the classes are hands-on but instructional, aimed at travellers rather than professional cooks.
Do we see Gelati, Bagrati or Prometheus Cave?
Gremi is included on the Kakheti to Kutaisi day; Gelati, Bagrati and the caves can be added as an extra stop in Kutaisi, ask when booking as this affects the day's timing.
Prices are per person for two travelling together, in euros; solo travellers and larger groups are quoted on request. Every departure is private and adjusted to you. Hotels, wineries and restaurants on our routes are verified by GTour.
