My adventures in the western part of the Republic of Georgia continued as I visited some of the beautiful towns and villages in the Adjara region. Come with me as I enjoy some incredible Upper Adjarian village food in western Georgia!
My friend and guide Tim from Friendly GE and I began our morning in Batumi. I’d be checking out some local sites including waterfalls and stone bridges, and trying some Upper Adjarian cuisine for the first time!

We started our adventure at the Mirveti Arch Bridge, a medieval stone bridge that connected villages using stones and cement in the Middle Ages. It’s one of roughly 20 similar bridges in Upper Adjara!
From there, we walked past local homes, farms, and plots of land. The people here produce fruits and vegetables and sell local coffee, tea, chacha, beer, and honey!
We passed a raised, wooden barn-like structure called a nalia, which is where people would dry out their corn and produce. It looked at least 150 years old and placing it high keeps it away from animals and humidity.
Along the path were some sour, unripe cherries growing on a tree. We also found some edible thorns on our way up the path to the waterfall. Along it is Mirveti’s Wine Cellar, where you can try wine, brandy, and chacha. Past it is a an old wooden tree and some unique boxwood trees!
Finally, we reached the waterfall. It was cooler there and the water was cold and refreshing! It’s a great place to relax and chill out on a hot day! While we were there, some gentlemen from the village took a dip in the pool below the falls!
Then, we came across a woman at a stand selling 8 types of jam, including fig, pear, green walnut, and quince. She also sells honey. The walnut jam was so soft and tasty, and the loquat was chewier and nuttier! The woman was so kind and gave us two fresh batches of walnut jam!
Then, she made us some Turkish coffee and gave us some homemade wine! The Turkish coffee was hot and thick. A lot of people who visit this area only visit the waterfall and bridge without meeting the locals and buying their products. Definitely support the locals whose livelihoods depend on tourism!
We bought some of her rose liqueur, which was so good I had to buy a bottle for GEL 20/$7 USD!
From there, we drove 20 minutes to Makhunseti, a village surrounded by lots of lush, vegetation-covered hills and mountains. There, we saw Makhunseti Bridge and Makhunseti Waterfall, and bought some beaded necklaces for my daughters.
Next, we drove to Adjarian Wine House in the village of Adjaristskali. There, we’d tour the property and try some traditional dishes! They have a beautiful vineyard and the architecture is very rustic.
In the kitchen, we watched them make several dishes including sinori, borano, yakhni, and pkhalobio. Then, it was time to eat!
The borano was made of high-quality string cheese and contained a ton of butter! The sinori was unreal and felt like it was made out of pastry dough. I loved the herbs in the
Pkhalobio and the Thai curry-like yakhni.
After eating, we toured the winery and tried several wines. I loved the barrel-aged Kukuzani dry red! Then, finally, we headed out to the vineyard, which produces a ton and a half of grapes annually!
What an amazing day exploring the villages in the Upper Adjara region of Georgia!

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!
I haven’t met or seen such a knowledgable guide like Tim. Really appreciate his knowledge.
He is best of the best i live Georgia my best country
first I thought he was Georgian with perfect English because he pronounced Georgian words without accent, then I found out he is an American citizen, maybe of Georgian nationality? I'm a bit confused about Tim but he is a really excellent guide.
I know others have said the same, but Tim has been such an awesome guide! He absolutely knows his stuff! 👌
Hubby and I have followed every episode and absolutely blown away with Georgia. We are from Uk and never imagined it to be like this! Your guide is so informative. It has been educational, beautiful and thoroughly amusing at times.
Well done!!👏🏼👏🏼
Better to be an eyewitness of it !!! So welcome !!!
TIM you so far my best tour guide 😀 David you better go back and bring him along 👍 sending love guys brooklyn new york
Best video from Georgia and Tim is the best guide ive seen!
I see food, I click!
23:32 in georgia there is about 500+ grape variety. Some unique Variety is extinct so again i want to say georgia is vine fatherland.only In guria (p.s guria is smallest region in the georgia) there was 64 different grape variety. Now some good man search this oldest grapes and now there is 40 variety. Its amazing. In georgia we have 7000 years old culture of vinery. God bless georgian people and whole world ,especially our foreign friends
