Cook Like a Local: Georgian Home Cooking Classes

Discover Georgian cuisine in a truly personal way through private home cooking classes. Your host will guide you in preparing multiple regional dishes, from hearty stews and freshly baked breads to delicate specialties unique to each region. Learn hands-on, step by step, while discovering the stories behind the ingredients and traditional recipes. Once the cooking is complete, enjoy the dishes you prepared together in a welcoming local home, sharing a meal that reflects centuries of Georgian culinary tradition and genuine hospitality. These sessions offer more than food—they create a connection to local culture and unforgettable flavors.

This experience is available across every region of Georgia, and each place brings its own unique flavors to the table. The ingredients, recipes, and cooking styles change from region to region, reflecting the remarkable diversity of Georgian cuisine.

What stays the same across the country is the spirit of Georgian hospitality. Wherever you join the class, you will be welcomed into a local home, guided through traditional recipes, and invited to sit at the table and enjoy the meal you prepared together. Different kitchens, different dishes—but always the same warmth, generosity, and joy of sharing food.

Wonderful Culinary Experience in Kutaisi

My partner and I participated in the cooking class during our visit to Kutaisi. The host welcomed us like family and showed us how to prepare Imeretian khachapuri and a fresh vegetable salad with herbs and walnuts. It felt very authentic and personal, nothing like a typical tourist activity. After cooking, we shared the meal together at the table and talked about Georgian food traditions. It was a perfect way to experience local culture.

Mountain Flavors in Kazbegi

I visited Kazbegi with two friends and we decided to try the cooking class after our hike. It was a fantastic decision. Our host guided us through making khinkali dumplings and a hearty potato dish typical for the mountain region. Folding the khinkali correctly was harder than it looks, but it was a lot of fun. Sharing the meal together in a cozy home with views of the mountains made it an unforgettable evening.

A Beautiful Day Cooking in Kakheti

My husband and I joined this cooking experience during our stay in Kakheti and it quickly became one of the highlights of our trip. Our host welcomed us into her home and showed us how to prepare khachapuri and a traditional eggplant dish with walnuts. Everything was hands-on and relaxed, and we learned a lot about local ingredients used in the wine region. Sitting down together afterward with a glass of Kakhetian wine and enjoying the meal we cooked made the experience truly special.
