A Georgian feast starts in the kitchen. This class at Nana’s Kitchen turns a meal into a real lesson on Supra hospitality, plus hands-on cooking in a family home. I love the warm, human welcome from Nana and her daughter Nina, and I love that you cook multiple dishes yourself instead of watching. One thing to consider is that this runs as an evening activity, so you’ll want a calm night planned around it.

The best part, for me, is the way the night mixes cooking with culture without turning it into a lecture. You also get to start with a glass of homemade Georgian wine before you roll up your sleeves. And yes, the food tastes like someone actually feeds people at home, not like it’s staged for a class.

The main drawback is simple: it is 3 hours, so you won’t master everything. If you want a slow cooking retreat with deep technique practice, you might feel a bit rushed.

Key highlights

• Supra, explained the practical way, then practiced at your dinner
• Five dishes you cook yourself, not just sample and move on
• Homemade wine at the start, plus a family-style meal at the end
• Small group feel, inside a real Georgian family home setting
• Recipe booklet provided, so you can recreate the night back at home

Enter Nana’s Home Kitchen in Tbilisi, Not a Pretend Set-Up

This experience is based in Tbilisi at a real family home, starting at 26 Guram Rcheulishvili St (meet there, then the evening ends back where you started). That detail matters, because you feel the difference between a cooking class that wants to look authentic and one that already is. You’re not just learning recipes. You’re learning how food fits into family life in Georgia.

The setting is described as clean and stylish, with a relaxed residential atmosphere. In plain terms, it feels comfortable. You’ll be cooking, eating, and chatting in the same place, with the hosts guiding you through steps at home scale, not kitchen showroom scale.

Also, this is offered in English and runs about 3 hours, typically in the evening window listed from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM. Plan on it being a full nighttime activity, not a quick taste stop.

Your First Sip: Supra Hospitality Starts With Wine

The class begins with a glass of homemade Georgian wine, and that’s not just a pleasant start. It sets the tone for what you’re about to learn. Before anyone reaches for ingredients, you get a short introduction to the meaning of Supra, plus background on Georgian cuisine and where key influences came from.

Supra is the Georgian tradition of hosting a feast with food and wine, and it is more than just eating. It has a rhythm, a social flow, and a mindset. You don’t have to know anything going in. The hosts walk you through what to pay attention to so your dinner later feels intentional.

I also liked how this part stays practical. Instead of floating around in vague cultural facts, you get the framing that helps the cooking and the meal make sense. When you later sit down for Supra-style dinner, it lands differently because you already understand the idea behind the table.

Cooking Five Georgian Dishes: Hands-On Steps, Not Spectator Mode

The core of the class is making five Georgian dishes, with guidance and demonstrations from Nana and the kitchen team. You cook your own dishes based on what’s shown, with hands-on instruction as you go. That’s what makes the time feel worth it, even though it’s only around 3 hours.

Here’s the sample flow of what you may cook, based on the menu provided:

Starter: Traditional Spinach Paste

You start with a spinach paste. This is a great warm-up dish because it gets you working with flavor-building and texture. Expect to focus on mixing and shaping rather than complicated timing. It’s the kind of dish that teaches you how Georgian cooks think about ingredients as building blocks, not as separate components.

Main: Red Peppers With Walnut and Spice Mix

Next comes red peppers paired with a walnut and spice mixture. This combo is one of those Georgian classics that shows up for a reason: nuts and spice bring depth, and peppers bring sweetness and bite. You’ll get the chance to work with the walnut-based flavor approach and learn how spices are used to balance everything.

Main: Fried Eggplants With Walnuts

Then you’ll cook fried eggplants with walnuts. Eggplant can be tricky if you overthink it, and a guided class helps you avoid common mistakes. The pairing teaches you another signature Georgian pattern, bitter-to-silky vegetables working together with nuts and spice.

Main Choice: Chakapuli or Chakhokhbili (Seasonal)

For the final main, the menu gives you a seasonal choice:

• Chakapuli, a veal dish in tarragon (seasonal), or
• Chakhokhbili

You’re not forced into one option no matter what. The class is set up to match what’s available or seasonal, so you might end up with one dish depending on timing. This is also one reason the experience feels more like a real kitchen than a fixed script.

Expect ongoing help in the kitchen

In the best moments, Nana and Nina (and the assisting team) guide you step by step while still letting you do the work. Reviews of the experience highlight patient teaching, laughs, and real explanations. You get the feeling you’re being coached by someone who wants you to leave capable, not just stuffed.

How the Lesson Turns Into a Real Supra-Style Dinner

After cooking, the class concludes with dinner served in a traditional Supra manner. This is where the night clicks together. You’ve spent time learning what Supra means, and now you sit down and experience that idea as a table moment.

The dinner is not presented as a separate show. It’s the payoff of what you made. That’s a key value point: you’re eating food you helped create, so the meal feels earned and personal.

Also, the hosts are conversational, and the vibe tends to stay friendly and relaxed. You’re not trapped in a silent work session. You’ll have a chance to ask questions, and you can learn why certain ingredients are used, where dishes come from, and how the feast tradition shapes what ends up on the table.

One practical bonus from the way the night is run is that people have left with extra items like starter spices to remake at home and even leftovers packed for later. You should treat that as a nice possible bonus, not a promise, but it lines up with the generous family-feast feel this class aims for.

What You Take Home: A Recipe Book You’ll Actually Use

At the end, you receive a booklet with recipes for the dishes you made. This is one of those details that separates a good class from a forgettable meal. Georgia has bold, layered flavors, and you’ll remember the tastes faster than the exact technique.

The recipe booklet helps you reproduce the dishes with less guesswork. It also gives you a clear shopping list for ingredients and a reference for how the flavors should come together.

If you like cooking as a souvenir, this is a strong choice. You can bring the Georgia table to your own kitchen, invite friends over, and build a Georgian-style spread without starting from scratch.

Price and Value: Why $110 Can Make Sense for an Evening That Feels Like a Gift

At $110 per person for about 3 hours, this class isn’t the cheapest dinner activity in Tbilisi. But the value stacks up because you’re paying for more than food.

You’re paying for:

• A real family-home setting, where cooking and hosting are central
• Hands-on instruction for multiple dishes, not a single item
• Homemade wine included at the start, which changes the mood of the entire evening
• A full meal at the end in Supra style
• A take-home recipe booklet, so you can recreate the night

It’s also a popular class, often booked about 15 days in advance on average. That demand usually means people feel the value is real.

So, who does this pricing work for? If you like food experiences that go beyond eating, and you want a cultural dinner you can reproduce at home, you’ll likely feel the price is fair. If you want a quick, cheap sampler and you hate cooking, you might feel it’s too long.

Timing and Meeting Point: Plan Your Evening Like a Local

The class runs in the evening, with listed hours from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM (and the experience duration is about 3 hours). Make sure you schedule dinner plans around this, not immediately after it.

You’ll meet at 26 Guram Rcheulishvili St, Tbilisi 0179. The activity ends back at the meeting point. That keeps things simple, especially if you’re staying nearby or using public transportation.

One more practical note: this is offered with a mobile ticket and confirmation received at booking. Bring your phone and be ready to show the ticket when you arrive.

And if you’re traveling with a service animal, the experience allows service animals. It also notes you’re near public transportation, which helps when you’re timing an evening activity in a city you’re still learning.

Who Should Book Nana’s Kitchen (and Who Might Pass)

I’d recommend this class if you want:

• A hands-on cooking night with real instruction
• A Georgian cultural experience focused on Supra hospitality
• A small-group vibe where you can actually talk with the hosts
• A dinner that feels like a family table, not a restaurant performance

It’s also a good fit for couples or small groups because you’re in your own private tour/activity. The listing notes it’s private, meaning only your group participates.

You might reconsider if:

• You dislike cooking or prefer watching over doing
• You want a very short activity
• You’re the type who needs a strict schedule down to the minute, since it’s a home-style evening with real people running the flow
