Tamari enjoys traveling and hence decided to make it her career. She has started her own wellness travel agency after completing her MSc in International Management in Spain.

Fun, useful and unforgettable experience - My fiancée and I really wanted to learn how to make the georgian stuffed eggplant, therefore we decided to look for a cooking lesson in Tbilisi where we could learn how to make them! Teo did not only teach us how to make what we wanted, but she also prepared some extra dishes that were amazing! Her boyfriend brought his family’s wine and it was a perfect meal. I would highly recommend this experience! Unfortunately Teo’s mom could not be there, but we still had fun and learned a bit about Georgian food and traditions 😁

Lovely Morning at "home" - Teo and her mom were amazing hostesses! I felt like I was walking into a dear friend's home when I arrived. I enjoyed a little snack of bread and cheese while Teo and I got acquainted with each other and she finished a little prep. We made a few traditional dishes together, all while discussing culture and sharing personal experiences. In the end, I realized so many of my favorite Georgian dishes are actually not as difficult to make as I had imagined. I will certainly take what I learned with me to recreate in my own kitchen. Best of all, you will leave Teo's home truly feeling like part of the family!

Became part of the family! - What a wonderful hands on experience with a mother and daughter. They welcomes us into their home and shared their kitchen and recipes with us. We tried many different dishes, got to help prepare them all, and enjoyed a wonderful feast with homemade wine!

Very fun experience! - I really enjoyed meeting Teo, and having a nice Georgian meal in a home rather than a restaurant. It was great experience, and I'd recommend it. Teo cooked a nice multi course meal with wine, and I enjoyed the food as well as the company! Recommend!
