One of my favorite things to do when I travel is to enjoy a home-cooked meal with a local family to get a true taste of daily life. I was thrilled when I got that opportunity in Georgia. Come with me as I enjoy a home-cooked Georgian meal with a local family in Mtskheta, Georgia!
Mtskheta is a small town located just 30 minutes north of the capital, Tbilisi. It was the ancient capital of the country from the 4th century BC to the 5th century AD. There, I’d learn how to make traditional Georgian dishes from a local family, check out their wine cellar, and eat some good farm-to-table food!

Inside their gate, I met with Sophie, my guide from Travel Tbilisi, who shared some yellow cherries from their tree. Their property was amazing and overlooked the river! Then, I met Zaza, the homeowner, who was tending to a fire.
He led me to their traditional wine cellar, which is made up of clay pots set into the floor. They clean the insides of the pots with a natural “brush” made from cherry wood. They also have a pot made from a wild pumpkin to separate the juice from the fruit skin.
In the cellar, they had wines from different wineries and various tools to make wine. They have both classical (or European) wine techniques and Georgian wine techniques. I tried some Georgian Saperavi dry red wine, which is light and made from an indigenous grape.
Then, we headed to an ethnographic corner, where we saw traditional tools for cooking and wine-making. They had pots, pans, machines for weaving, a piece of wood used to smash grapes that now serves as the base of a table, and more!
Next, we helped prepare a traditional and seasonal dish called chakapuli which contains lamb or veal, sour plum, coriander, green onion, tarragon, and garlic, wine, and chilies. I loved the aroma of the tarragon! It boils in the pot for 15 minutes.
Then, we saw them make barbecued pork kebabs called mtsvadi and a fried chicken dish soaked in a milk-and-garlic sauce. It’s called shkmeruli!
They produce their own brandy and chacha. I loved their branding! Then, we started our homemade Georgian feast! It included the chakapuli, mtsvadi, Imeretian khachapuri, shkmeruli, and more!
We started with walnut eggplant, which was super creamy and flavorful. I loved the walnut paste! I couldn’t get enough of it!
The Imeretian khachapuri was cheesy and salty and was similar to focaccia. The bread and cheese were so fresh! I followed that with a green salad with cucumber, herbs, onions, and tomatoes. It was refreshing and crunchy!
We washed it down with Kvevri wine, which was light and dry, followed by some pepper chacha.
The skhmeruli had absorbed the milky garlic sauce and also contained some bread. It was unbelievable, tender, and lightly fried. I could tell it was local chicken!
After more chacha, the homeowner toasted to Georgian women and we dug into the chakapuli. The veal mixed with the herbs left me speechless. It was so tender, fatty, and full of flavor from the slow-cooking process.
I was loving the wine and culture. Then, they showed me how to make churchkhela, or Georgian candy! They thicken grape juice with flour, boil it for 15 minutes while stirring, and dip the string of walnuts into the paste. After it dries for a day, it’s ready!
I made one myself and got to try some later. It really was like a Georgian Snickers bar and was so sticky and pasty!
Then, we had another drink and listen to the homeowner play the guitar and sing! What an incredible homemade Georgian food experience!

Awesome
What a great time that must have been!
Beautiful people
I like cha cha ana song on guitar ❤️
Men are best cook everywhere, not only in Georgia :D But what a place! I want a house like that. The owner is funny guy on top of the overall cool video experience :)
As a woman (and a Georgian woman:)) I admit, men are better cooks, don't know why, you just are.
P.S. kitchen kind of hates me (as much as I hate it), really envy people who can cook/love cooking.
Everybody can cook but i think men have a deep passion and Put much effort into it.

@@MrKurwa-lf1oc trust me I know plenty people who can't cook anything 😂

😀😀😀❤❤❤
👍👍👍
👏 LOVE from INDIA
Nice puma shirt
How’s Rogaine going for you?
Is it a kinda of paradise,...
How did you find this family? I will be visiting TBilisi in 2 weeks, would love to also see this town as well!
However, I am a female solo traveller, do you think that would make it dificult to visit this place?
Right right? Right? Right? 😁
this was awsm. the ambience was so perfect that i think i must have the same kind of house in the future. and kachapuri is an indian word, we use the same here, and the dish is like kachori in India but with different ingredients.
Khacho means cheese , puri is bread. I know indians call bread puri as well. Also we have a dosh in georgian called baje. Also baje in indian as well. Silk road connected georgia with india. And also in the ancient times georgian king vakhtang fought in india on persian campaigns many georgians settled in india somehere in The north west.
Also we cook bread in tone, in indian its called tandur . Clay oven underground
Kachapuri is a Georgian word.🙂
I was searching for this comment. I think it's due to the indo European connection
@@AS-jo8qh we are not Indo Europeans, most probably Silk Road connection
Does the host own a insta id I would gladly follow her David should have mentioned her in the description☺☺😉
I myself am a cook of Georgian cuisine.. if anyone has any questions about the kitchen.. please contact me.. I will share the recipes at your mercy..!!!❤
Sophie is so beautifull ♡
