The Taste Tbilisi Sololaki Food and Drink Walking Tour is a 3.5-hour guided walk through Sololaki, one of the oldest and most atmospheric districts of Old Tbilisi in Georgia. The tour is listed on Expedia under the operator Real Georgia Tours, and the listing is for a private experience priced at about USD 195 (roughly 511 GEL); a shared-group price is not shown, so visitors should confirm group options at booking. The meeting point is a cafe on Liberty (Freedom) Square or on Pushkin Street, set when the booking is made. From there the route climbs and winds through Sololaki's tree-lined lanes, old courtyards and the grand 19th-century townhouses that give the quarter its character, stopping at cafes, wine bars and small food venues along the way. The itinerary centres on Georgian street food and wine, with at least ten foods and drinks tasted over the course of the walk. That volume of tastings means the tour works as a full meal rather than a snack, and savoury dishes such as bread, cheese and dumplings typically dominate Georgian food stops, balanced by wine and other local drinks. The price covers the guided walk and the tastings listed in the package; extras such as additional drinks, souvenirs, gratuities and transport to the meeting point are normally separate. Because the tour is private, the pace can be adjusted to the party, and the guide can usually adapt the stops to dietary needs if these are raised in advance, although the listing does not state a formal substitution policy. The group is limited to the party that books, and the walk is conducted in English unless another language is arranged. Sololaki sits on a hillside below the Narikala fortress, so the route includes some gentle slopes and uneven cobbled sections. The tour suits first-time visitors to Tbilisi who want an orientation to Georgian food culture, wine traditions and the history of the old city in a single afternoon, and it pairs well with a later visit to the sulphur baths district or the Dry Bridge market.
