Georgia

Georgia map

Georgian cuisine sits at a crossroads of European and Middle Eastern influence, celebrated for its use of walnuts, pomegranate, and fresh herbs. Wine has been produced here for roughly eight thousand years, and hospitality traditions remain central to how meals are structured and shared.

Khachapuri, a cheese-filled bread, and khinkali, hearty soup dumplings, are among the country's most iconic exports. The supra, a long ceremonial feast led by a toastmaster, remains one of Georgia's most distinctive culinary traditions.
