What to take home

2-min read

The guide’s shopping list, in one place: minankari (cloisonné enamel jewellery), clay katsi drinking vessels, strings of churchkhela, spices — Svan salt, adjika, dried tarragon — knitted rugs, and of course wine and chacha.

Mtskheta’s stalls and Tbilisi’s old town are the hunting grounds; the churches sell distinctive hand-dipped candles. If your flight is late enough, the morning is exactly for this.

🎒 Wine and chacha go in checked luggage, well wrapped — and remember your home country’s duty-free limits.
