Because the best way to experience Georgia is to taste it!
I was lucky when I first arrived to Georgia. I had the luxury of time and a local friend who guided me head first into the best the country had to offer. I have boiled that experience and the ensuing twenty years of discovery down to seven mouth-watering days visiting the country’s finest restaurants, meeting acclaimed chefs and winemakers, being guests at their homes and feasting like a local.
