The Half-Day Georgian Supra Feast is a feast and cooking experience in Old Tbilisi, Georgia, operated by byFood experiences. The meeting point is given in the byFood booking confirmation. The half-day programme opens with a walk through the old town and continues to a family home, where visitors take part in a khinkali and khachapuri cooking session. Khinkali are twisted dumplings filled with spiced meat and broth, and khachapuri is the cheese-filled bread that is a national staple, so the cooking portion is firmly savoury. The session leads into a multi-course supra, the traditional Georgian banquet, accompanied by homemade wine and chacha, the grape spirit sometimes called Georgian grappa. The supra is presided over by a tamada, or toastmaster, who leads a sequence of ceremonial toasts, and the listing also mentions Georgian dance and song as part of the evening. The package covers the old town walk, the cooking session, the feast, the homemade wine and chacha, and the entertainment; transport to the meeting point, gratuities and personal purchases are not listed as included. Price, group size and language are shown on the byFood booking page and should be checked when reserving. The family-home setting keeps the group small and the atmosphere informal, and visitors who need vegetarian or other dietary adjustments should request them in advance because the signature dishes contain meat and cheese. The experience is notable for combining hands-on cooking with Georgia's centuries-old supra tradition, which is recognised as a central part of the country's social life, and with live cultural elements rarely found on a standard food tour. Visitors should expect a long, convivial meal with plenty of food and alcohol, so it is wise to pace consumption and to avoid arranging activities straight afterwards. The tour suits groups, couples and solo travellers who want an immersive introduction to Georgian hospitality, food and customs.
