The 4 Best Cooking Classes in Tbilisi

1.Small-Group Khinkali and Khachapuri Cooking Class in Tbilisi

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 224 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $27Our pick

At a central Tbilisi restaurant, a local chef leads you through khinkali and Imeretian khachapuri, with wine, salad, cheese, and the meal you help prepare. The class is advertised for up to six people, though larger groups have occurred. Expect table-based instruction rather than a kitchen workshop, and ask how much hands-on cooking is planned.
