Kakhetian Recipes

Kakhetian cuisine from Georgia's premier wine region in the east is deeply tied to viticulture and agricultural abundance. The region is famous for its churchkhela (grape and walnut candy), mtsvadi grilled over grapevine cuttings, and rustic bread baked in tone ovens. Kakhetian cooking favors simple preparations that highlight quality ingredients, and meals are traditionally paired with amber wines fermented in qvevri clay vessels.
