Start your experience with comfortable hotel pick-up before stepping into the vibrant food culture of Tbilisi alongside a local guide. Your walking journey begins at one of the city’s most historic marketplaces — once a
traditional bazaar, today transformed into a lively food hall. Just like locals, you’ll begin your day with high-quality Georgian coffee paired with light local snacks and traditional sauces, while hearing how coffee culture became part of everyday Georgian life. Next, taste one of Georgia’s most iconic sweets — Churchkhela, made from thickened grape juice (tatara) and walnuts. This centuries-old delicacy once fueled travelers along trade routes. You’ll sample both classic and modern interpretations and decide which version wins your heart. As the walk continues, the scenery shifts. Passing through the Soviet-era district and near the famous Dry Bridge Market, your guide will share stories of architecture, history, and everyday life shaped during that period, revealing fascinating details hidden behind old objects and forgotten photographs. Your next stop introduces a truly distinctive flavor: Dambalkhacho Khinkali — dumplings filled with a rare aged Georgian cheese known for its bold character. Alongside it, you’ll enjoy traditional cornbread with cheese and a refreshing glass of tarragon lemonade, one of Georgia’s most recognizable soft drinks. From there, you’ll enter the heart of Old Tbilisi. Wander through narrow streets, admire the famous wooden balconies, and hear historical, cultural, and sometimes surprising local stories that bring the city to life. No visit to Georgia is complete without wine. Near the Tamada Statue, you’ll enjoy a traditional glass of Georgian wine while learning about the ancient toasting ritual and the role of the tamada (toastmaster) in Georgian gatherings. If you still have room, you’ll stop at a local bakery to taste Lobiani — a warm, traditional bean-filled bread — enjoyed just as locals do The tour ends on a sweet and unique note with Georgian wine ice cream in a cozy local bar. Feel free to stay longer, order another drink, and continue your evening surrounded by the atmosphere of the city. This is not just a food tour — it’s a journey through history, culture, and everyday life, told through the flavors and streets that define Tbilisi.
