Georgian Cuisine

Georgian cuisine offers the world's oldest known wine tradition, with 8,000-year-old clay qvevri winemaking that predates all European wine cultures by millennia. Its signature cheese bread, khachapuri, requires skill to master the elastic dough and molten sulguni cheese filling, while khinkali soup dumplings burst with spiced meat and herb broth. Walnut sauces like satsivi transform simple chicken and vegetables into rich, complex dishes.
