The Experience
Begin your experience with a choice: enjoy a comfortable hotel pickup or meet your local guide near the elegant Tbilisi Opera and Ballet Theatre. If you choose to meet in the city, your guide will take you on a short, atmospheric 30-minute walk through Old Tbilisi, sharing stories, hidden corners, and the soul of the city before your culinary journey begins. At the cooking space, be welcomed by a professional chef host, who will guide you step by step in a relaxed, elegant, and fun atmosphere. No experience? Perfect. This experience is designed so that anyone can cook beautifully. You won’t just follow instructions — you’ll understand the techniques, flavors, and traditions, so you can recreate everything at home whenever you miss Georgia. Master the iconic folds of Khinkali and discover the secret of their rich, juicy filling. Make Khachapuri, Georgia’s most famous comfort dish, and Churchkhela, a naturally sweet delicacy made from nuts and thickened grape juice. Enjoy a guided tasting of 4 premium Georgian wines, thoughtfully paired with your dishes, revealing unique flavors and ancient winemaking traditions. Discover a selection of natural Georgian honey, each with its own aroma, texture, and character — sourced locally and presented at peak freshness. After cooking, sit down together and enjoy everything you’ve created — a beautiful, shared Georgian feast, full of warmth, conversation, and connection. See more

What travelers loved
“We were offered a free upgrade to private cooking class and are happy we accepted. Nino and her sister went out of their way to make us feel welcome, even the days before, and after. When we were making the kinghali and kachapuri as a team while chatting and drinking wine, it felt more like we were Georgians having a party than tourists. Their English is excellent so it was also a nice way to learn more about Georgian culture and daily life. It was definitely one of the highlights of our holiday. In hindsight I would have liked to do this upon arrival rather than the last day. They have some great insider tips for e.g. restaurants for Tbilisi as well as the rest of the country. And of course they offer other excursions. Given the excellent service level we probably would have opted for more tours with them, even though we usually like to explore on our own.”
“This was an amazing experience. Nino upgraded the original group cooking class to an experience where I cooked exclusively with a Georgian family instead. This was a very intimate and amazing experience where I got to know Georgian people and their culture in an exclusive way.”
