My afternoon in western Georgia continued as I made my way to Obcha to have some delicious Georgian food and wine at a local winery. Come with me as I show you how they make traditional Georgian food and wine in Obcha, Georgia!
My friend and guide Tim from Friendly GE began our afternoon at Baia’s Winery in Obcha. Obcha is located in the Imereti Wine Region, about 30 minutes south of Kutaisi in western Georgia.

It’s run by Baia, a young woman who makes incredible wines from indigenous grapes as well as Imereti cuisine! Some of the best Imereti wines are produced right here! I started off in their vineyard and played with their dog before meeting Gvantsa, Baia’s sister!
They grow three white Imeretian grapes in their vineyard, as well as two rare red grapes. We headed up to the property, where they have an outdoor tasting on a terrace right next to the vineyard.
We headed into their qvevri space, where the giant clay pots are put underground. It was a little different than others I’d seen, as they had put gravel down!
Then, we visited their aging space, where they have lots of steel tanks. They pump the wines into them after they’ve been in the qvevries for 4-5 months. Then, it was time to head up to try some wine.
She brought out four bottles of wine, all of which have QR codes on them. When you scan them, it takes you to their website and you can see all the steps the grapes went through to become that wine!
We had Gvantsa’s 2019 Krakhuna Dry White Wine, a 2020 Aladasturi Rose, a 2020 Tsitska Dry White Wine, and a 2020 dry white wine made from a blend of Tsitska, Tsolikouri, and Krakhuna grapes.
The 2019 Krakhuna dry white was light and had a bit more of a tropical flair. Next, the 2020 Aladasturi Rose is a fruity, salmon-colored rose. Then, we tried the Ostkhanuri Sapere 2020, a full-bodied red wine that was dry and easy to drink and reminded me of a syrah.
Then, Gvantsa showed us how they make some Georgian dishes, including fried stuffed eggplant rolls and stuffed peppers! She added some crushed walnuts, garlic, and red pepper to make the nigvzis sakmazi, or garlicky walnut paste. Then, she stuffs the eggplant and peppers with it.
The nigvzis sakmazi is so good, I had to try it by itself, so Gvantsa fed me some! It was so delicious!
Then, we ate on the terrace on the side of their house. We had nigvziani badrijani (stuffed eggplant rolls), bulgaruli nigvzit (roasted and stuffed red peppers), lobio satsivi (green beans with walnut paste), ispanakhis pkhali (a spinach-walnut dip), and much more! Everything was farm to table!
We toasted with their 2020 3-grape dry white wine and jumped on the food! First jumped on the nigvziani badrijani, or stuffed eggplant rolls. I loved the nuttiness of the walnut and the addition of the vinegar.
The wild thorns tkhali were garlicky and excellent, and the bulgaruli nigvzit (stuffed red peppers) didn’t contain coriander but contained more spice and vinegar! I also loved the ispanakhis pkhali and the lobio satsivi. They were all so tasty and unique!
The summer salad contained juicy tomatoes from the area. Next was the 2020 Tsitska dry white wine, followed by the chicken tabaka and tkemali, or sweet and sour plum sauce.
Finally, I jumped on the khachapuri, which was oozing with melted cheese but was still soft and buttery. It was amazing! Best of all, you can have this entire Baia’s Winery experience for GEL 50/$16 USD! For GEL 100/$33 USD, you can stay there overnight! Finally, I finished with the lobio, or hearty bean stew!

About Me:
My name is David Hoffmann. For the last 13 years, I have traveled the world in search of unique culture, food, and history! Since starting David’s Been Here in 2008, I have explored over 1,200 destinations in 84 countries, which I welcome you to check out on my UA-cam channel, travel blog, and social media.
I focus a great deal on food and historical sites, as you probably have seen! I love to experience the different flavors that each destination has to offer, from casual street food to gourmet restaurant dining. I’m also passionate about learning about the local culture.
P.S. Thank you for watching my videos and subscribing!
Food is always better when momma feeds it to you with her hands... In Korean cuisine we call it son-mat (mother's hand taste). You can taste the love and intent that goes into the food prep and cooking. It's akin to 'soul food' .. same concept.
Definitely our next country to visit will be Georgia, it’s an amazing place 🥰
Thanks David, I’ll say also that we been there 👍🏼
Love how the family are so proud of their winery. Food looks delicious!!
Two years ago we have been there: a marvellous place to be!
If you have the opportunity to go with Budget Georgia from Kutaisi
for a wine and dine at Baias, don't hesitate to go!
Thank you from Dorien and Ton.
Nice Video

Good food is all that sweet when shared with friends and family. Happiness is homemade. Cooking with love provides food for the soul. Love from Korea 🇰🇷💕
I learn so much from these videos and they are always entertaining!
The mom feeding you was the best part 💯🥰
Awesome place and delicious food 🥘 , amazing.

Everything David eat and drink always seem so delicious!!!!
Good Morning David 👋 Another banging video with wonderful host and great wine and delicious foods 😋 I've never had walnut paste but I'm going to go to trader joes and buy me some all because you and Tim swear by it😂 Keep up the great work and see ya in the next 1💕🙌
Eggplant is so underrated and that looks delicious.
I never liked it when I was younger.. but it's so versatile
@@carlalayne3942
My mom never knew what to do with it so she fed it to squirrels and rabbits, I discovered eggplant Parmigiano and I was instantly hooked.
Another super video. A beautiful place to go to. Wine, beautiful fresh food and a lovely, lovely lady. Oh I would love to holiday there. Such a wonderful Country. 🙏🙏🧡💛🧡🙏🙏

David the wine expert 🤩
So good!!

amazing David!
Frenkly, what I noticed all these series depict not typical Georgian artisan lifestyle, but small family of whatsoever hospitality businesses run by people from urban areas and in particular from Tbilisi.
Man you drone shots are awesome.. Editing level going up😎
Garmajosh my friend
Not garmajos my friend, gaumarjis is correct
I like these vlogs from Georgia and also Ukraine where food is great and very underestimated ! Great wines and beer and most of all food! Only problem is if you like wine, Горілка (Vodka in Ukraine) Chacha and beer its dangerous!
Yes, it is. The last time I drank beer and chacha together, I was running wild, fighting with anyone who would look at me wrong LOL It`s a deadly mix. Georgians call it - 'Chakiduli'.
Don’t like vlog from Armenia? 😂
@@arameaiv Why are Armenians always jealous of Georgians? Huh? Take a chill pill, okay?
@@eagleeye182 ahahah! what? Maybe the other way around? Armenians have nothing to envy. And also I myself am from Georgia and I love this country.
@@arameaiv'The other way around? Have you lost your mind? You have absolutely nothing to envy for and what you have, even that is stolen from Georgians. Everyone knows that.
Very nice
Sahtein
Wines look amazing I wish I was there to taste these wines anyway pinot grigo is my favorite in white wine and Pinot Noir in red wine enjoy
Respect bro from Georgia!
Wow!!!! I guess a Georgia is an 51 state of USA?
A joke of course....But I am not agin to be so.
Georgians speak american english so well - bravoo!!!!
am Georgian and I am proud to be....
I'd love the recipes for those salads. They looked scrumptious! [Actually, coriander is the seed and cilantro are the leaves of the plant].
You can google or youtube any of those dishes. Also one thing they don't mention that's in so much of the food is Khmeli Suneli spice blend. My parents are from the capital of Georgia so this is the culture I inherited. If you had smellivision, you'd already be on a plane to there from the scents of the food, spice drink....
Nice Winery

Georgian food has only one minus...There are no desserts at all!!!
Churchela - is a heavy dish full of sugars from grapes!And a flore...It is very good for active people...As energy healthy source!
As a dessert -georgians eat fresh fruit amd berries!And this is healthy I think!
But a couple of local desserts would be not allien!
What - a Napolejn tart or whaT
Say it to italians or greeks or you know franchies !!!
Yoy tell me what georgians eat for dessert!!!!
Do ya think i am from another Planet???
