Incredible time!
We had an incredible time with Tina and her family! They welcomed us inside their home and together we cooked and enjoyed an incredible Georgian meal of tons of food (we left with lots of boxes of leftovers!). We also had lovely conversations about Georgia, her family, with her and her kids. Thank you for the incredible hospitality and we would absolutely recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that you had such an incredible experience with Tina and her family. It is wonderful to know that you enjoyed being welcomed into their home, preparing a delicious Georgian meal together, and sharing meaningful conversations about Georgian culture and family life. We love that the experience was filled with great food, warm hospitality, and even enough leftovers to continue enjoying the flavors of Georgia afterward! Thank you for your kind recommendation. We will be sure to share your lovely feedback with Tina and her family, who will be thrilled to know they made your visit so memorable.

AN INCREDIBLE HIGHLIGHT!
My partner Cam and I had a truly delightful evening cooking, talking, and eating with Teo and her mother Tina. It was a highlight of our whole trip, both in and outside Georgia, to be invited to the home of such a welcoming, interesting family, and to learn to cook delicious traditional cuisine with the freshest ingredients. We’ve taken the Ajapsandali recipe Teo kindly wrote out for us and cooked it in London, now West Africa (I cook it weekly here!), and certainly home to Australia in the new year. Can’t thank Teo and Tina enough for their hospitality and warmth. With the best of wishes, Georgia and Cam

Georgian cooking class with Teo
My friend and I enjoyed an amazing afternoon and evening with Teo. We visited the local market, where she explained the differences between the local cheeses, fresh herbs and sweets. Back at her family home, Teo made us feel very welcome. We enjoyed cheeses and homemade wine while we helped her cook several traditional Georgian dishes. Teo was a lovely host and explained everything in great detail. Would absolutely recommend!

Georgian coocking class with Teo
We had a great night at Teo's house. She welcomed us into her home, showed us around and explained what we were going to prepare. Sho offered us wine, chacha and cheeses and explained everything she did whilst coocking. My mom and I also participated coocking. A friend of Teo came along and in the kitchen we spoke about all kinds of things. Teo and her friend are good company as they speak English very well and know everything about nowaday Georgia and its cuisine. We had a great diner and learned a lot about Georgian coocking and life. Thanks Teo.

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Enjoy a Traditional Georgian Cooking Class and Meal with a Local in Tbilisi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tbilisi.
How much does Enjoy a Traditional Georgian Cooking Class and Meal with a Local in Tbilisi cost?
+
Prices start at $105 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tbilisi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Enjoy a Traditional Georgian Cooking Class and Meal with a Local in Tbilisi take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tbilisi is not rushed.
Is Enjoy a Traditional Georgian Cooking Class and Meal with a Local in Tbilisi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tbilisi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Enjoy a Traditional Georgian Cooking Class and Meal with a Local in Tbilisi?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Enjoy a Traditional Georgian Cooking Class and Meal with a Local in Tbilisi suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Enjoy a Traditional Georgian Cooking Class and Meal with a Local in Tbilisi?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tbilisi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tbilisi and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Enjoy a Traditional Georgian Cooking Class and Meal with a Local in Tbilisi start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tbilisi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tbilisi?
+
On Outty we rank every Tbilisi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tbilisi:Evening Walking & Talking Tour with Wine & Boat Ride, Kakheti Wine Region Tour + 10 Premium Wine Tastings & Sunset, Tbilisi:Mtskheta,Jvari,Bazaar,wine tasting,Chronicles of Georgia. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tbilisi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tbilisi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
