Private Georgian Meal in Tbilisi Home: Authentic Cooking & Wine

Sit at a local's dining table and eat khachapuri straight from the kitchen

A private Georgian meal at the home of Dinara, a local cook and guide in Tbilisi, where you eat family-style dishes from her family recipes at her dining table. The experience includes hotel or meeting-point pickup and drop-off, local wine, and runs two hours. You choose lunch or dinner at checkout. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are available.

The experience

You arrive at Dinara's apartment in a residential Tbilisi neighborhood and sit at her dining table with an open kitchen in view. She serves several traditional Georgian dishes made from her family recipes: khachapuri (cheese and egg filled bread), khinkali (Georgian dumplings), Shkmeruli (fried chicken in a garlic sauce), pkhali (minced vegetables, nuts and herbs), and a Georgian salad. The meal ends with a dessert like matsoni: yoghurt with honey and nuts. Wine flows throughout, and Dinara shares stories about life in Georgia as you eat.

This is a completely private experience: no other guests, no restaurant setting, no group timing. Dinara speaks English or Russian, so the conversation moves at your pace. The two-hour meal is unhurried, built around the food and the chance to ask questions about Georgian culture without the pressure of a tour schedule. Pickup and drop-off are included, so you don't arrange transport yourself.

• Private transportation to and from Dinara's home.
• local wine served throughout the meal.
• the complete family-style meal with khachapuri, khinkali, Shkmeruli, pkhali, salad and Georgian dessert.
