Tbilisi Food & Wine Walk — Private, with Market, Bakery & Wine Bar

Tbilisi

  • 1 day
  • Private, 1–8 travellers
  • Easy
  • Starts in Tbilisi
  • Daily

Overview

A private food and wine walk through Tbilisi with a local guide: the Dezerter Bazaar, a basement bakery where shoti bread is baked on the wall of a round tone oven, khinkali where locals eat them, and a natural-wine bar with three glasses of Georgian wine. About 4.5 hours, late afternoon into the evening. There are five or six food stops, all included, and together they make a full dinner. At the market you taste cheeses, pickles, spices and churchkhela, the walnut-and-grape sweet. Your guide explains what you are eating, how Georgians eat it and how to order it yourself later. It is a good first evening in the city, before you set off into the regions. The walk has some hills and uneven pavements.

      Tbilisi, Georgia's capital, spreads along the Mtkvari river gorge between Narikala fortress and the Mtatsminda ridge. It is where most trips begin and end, and it deserves 2–3 days of its own. Walk the Old Town from the domed sulphur baths of Abanotubani up to Narikala, cross the Bridge of Peace, spend a morning with the gold of the Georgian National Museum and eat your way through the city's wine bars and khinkali houses. Every day trip in this area starts from here.
