The Explore In Tbilisi Food and Wine Walking Tour is a three-hour guided introduction to the cuisine and wine culture of Old Tbilisi, the historic centre of Georgia's capital. It is listed on Expedia under the operator Explore In. The meeting point in Old Tbilisi is confirmed at booking. The walk combines sightseeing in the old town with food and wine stops, and the package centres on a khachapuri tasting, white and red wine tastings and a glass of wine. Khachapuri, the cheese-filled bread that is among Georgia's best-known dishes, is the main savoury element, so the tour leans toward bread, cheese and wine rather than sweets. Pricing on the listing is USD 69 per adult for the group tour (approx 182 GEL) and USD 79 for a private version (approx 208 GEL), which makes it one of the more affordable guided food-and-wine options in the city. The listed inclusions are the khachapuri tasting and the wine tastings; transport to the meeting point, extra food and drinks beyond the tastings, and gratuities are not part of the package. The group format means the walk is shared with other travellers, while the private option gives the party its own guide and a more flexible pace. The tour is conducted in English, and dietary requests, such as vegetarian preferences, are best raised at the time of booking since cheese and bread form much of the menu. Wine tastings give visitors a first comparison between the white and red styles of Georgian winemaking, a tradition with roots going back thousands of years. Old Tbilisi is hilly, with cobbled lanes, balconied houses and steps, so the route involves steady walking over uneven ground. The tour suits first-time visitors who want a compact overview of Georgian food and wine in an afternoon without committing to a full-day excursion, and it is easily combined with a visit to the sulphur baths district or the Narikala fortress.
