Georgian Cuisine

Georgian cuisine is one of the world's most distinctive culinary traditions, born at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. Shaped by the Silk Road, Persian empires, and the Caucasus mountains, Georgian food is defined by walnut-based sauces, aromatic spice blends like khmeli suneli, and a wine culture stretching back 8,000 years — the oldest in the world. The Georgian table (supra) is a sacred ritual of hospitality, guided by a toastmaster (tamada) who leads toasts to life, love, and the ancestors.
