As my adventures in the Republic of Georgia continued, I hit up the town of Telavi to explore its culture and local sites. Come with me as I take you on a tour of the traditional market and cheese factory in Telavi, Georgia!
My boy Tim from Friendly GE and I kicked off our morning in Telavi, the capital of the Kakheti Wine Region. We started at Batonis Tsikhe, an 18th-century fortress whose name translates to The Lord’s Fortress. It was the residence of the kings of Kakheti when it was an independent kingdom.

From the top of one of the watchtowers, we had great views of the area. We got to see the southern and west gates, as well as an old, restored palace that now serves as a museum.
On the grounds is a 900-year-old Giant Plane Tree, which is one of the oldest in the region and stands in front of the statue of the king. There used to be a theater next to it! The tree has a massive hole in the trunk that you can go inside!
From there, we drove through town to the market. I could see colorful buildings and commercial spaces. There was a mix of mid- and low-rises. After we got out, we saw vendors selling clothing, fruit, farming tools, hats, and more.
Finally, we arrived at Telavi Bazaar, a huge covered bazaar where you can buy fresh vegetables, fruits, meat, and more. I could see apricots, peaches, and nectarines. I tried a juicy apricot, walnuts, and sour plums!
Next, we saw some vats of pickled joljoni, which were delicious. We also saw some fresh cheeses, including goat cheese and sulgini, as well as vendors selling churchkhela, which is nuts on a string covered in a hardened paste made from fruit syrup. It’s like a Georgian Snickers bar!
Churchkhela is the perfect snack to take into the mountains. They can be made with walnuts, hazelnuts and pomegranate juice, kiwi juice, and more! Then, we saw some dried persimmons and tried some plum and apple fruit leather. I loved them with the walnut!
Next, I tried honeycomb and walnuts covered in kiwi juice. The vendor was so nice and let me try everything! Further on were vendors selling tomatoes, garlic, cucumbers, peppers, and some incredible cheeses, smoked ham, and meat jelly.
Then, I sampled some Rkatsiteli amber wine, peach chacha, and an amazing honey chacha.
After that, we drove 5 minutes to Tsivis Kveli. “Kveli” means “cheese.” This cheese factory makes over 200 varieties! You can buy several, including gift packs!
Inside, I met George and Nick. We had to put on gowns and hairnets and go through a sanitation station to go through to the facility. They have vats of milk that are cultured and become cheese!
In the cellar, we saw where the cheese is aged on shelves. They have cheese aged in white and black wines, cheese with spices and herbs, and more! They have some with pepper, basil, mint, and many others!
I loved the smell in the cellar. They experiment with flavors and ingredients down there! Next, we saw how they check the acidity of the milk to make sure it’s good. Next, we saw the packaging center, where there was lots of string cheese and others waiting to be packaged.
They vacuum-seal the cheeses and then it was time to try some cheese! They gave me a cheese hat, and then we headed out into their beautiful garden. Scattered around it are clay pots and cannons.
Our cheese tasting menu included seven cheeses, bread, cucumbers, and wine. I loved the smoked roulette, which contained barberries and bacon, the smoked string cheese, and the incredible cheesecake balls the best! What an amazing lunch!

OMG!!!!!!!! I am from Georgia and so in love with your video! every single sentence where you talked about Georgia just melts me!!!!!!!!! You can't believe how great it is when tourists like your country! Especially Kakheti.Thankyou!
Street food is a big part of the food culture of any city. And adding to that culture a number of food lovers can be found on the streets. Who else loves street food? Love from Korea🇰🇷💕
I am!I really love street food...And i have some ideas....But i have no money...
great episode, loved the fact that a young man is so passionate about cheese making. The tradition will definatley be carried on.
love Georgia from Albania
I just loved this video David so many new foods to learn about. Never knew about churchkela and fruit leather and the amazing varieties of cheese. Thnx fr the trip down Georgian food lanes. I had eaten at a famous Georgian restaurant yrs back in Moscow and simply loved their vegetarian food . Seems like Georgia will now hve to be on my bucket list 😋
"The better the milk, The better the cheese" 🧀
OMG A cheese lovers dream ,so jealous,and the crunch from the bread,……HEAVENLY 🇨🇦👍
Miss my country and Kakheti :P nice work u guys :)
The food you recommend looks delicious and people here are very friendly.
Love your videos!!
Just a little note for this one - Erekle was neither the last nor the king of Independent and united Georgia. He was the King of the Kingdom of Kartl-Kakheti. Back then, Georgia was divided into numerous kingdoms. The last king of the Kingdom of Kartl-Kakheti was one of Erekle’s many sons - George the 12th. He could not resemble his father less though.
David this is a wonderful video 👍 Again I must say that Tim is cooler than the other side of the pillow and to me he has been the coolest 😎😂 Keep up the good work 😚
Oh man, the food looks absolutely amazing over there! Georgia has won me over, I just hope I can pick up the language.
The language is very difficult, and we have one of the 13 alphabets in the world, which is ancient, from 3 B.C. Go, visit my beautiful Georgia, you will love it!

Friend, allowed me to inform you that you are incorporating Russian folk music into your video🤣
I'm limited with what music I can use by Copyright. Trust me, I searched ages for Georgian music to use. 😥
@@Davidsbeenhere Where do you come from? Russian Empire for 300 years tried to wipe out the conquered nations. It is the same as Ottomalian Imperia. This is not like the USA where all were originally "emigrants" and they all have English as a common language. In Russian Imperia, there is Russia the dominant country, and its language is Russian. The countries conquered by Russia are no longer allowed to speak their own language, they must speak Russian. So these are not emigrants like e.g. the Chinese in the United States. There are different races in Russia because Russia went where the Asian countries originally were and conquered those people. This is the difference between China Taun and Buriatia. I hope I explained that well. Russia conquered the countries and told the whole world that these people were now Russians. So when I went to Europe and said that I'm Georgian, I had to talk to every idiot for hours that I'm not Russian and these idiots looked at me like a fanatic and then said ok if you like I'll say that you're Georgian are, but we all know that Georgian and Russian are the same. So I didn't know that with Copyright but for these reasons to put Russian folk music for the Georgian video is really impossible🤣 This is an insult right now when Russia wants to "denazify" Ukraine and is waging war in Ukraine.
love your channel and videos mate, but one thing l have to say.... you state the obvious, tell us something funny, something interesting, your just repeating what you see. Otherwise its a great show.. moving to Georgia to live next month :)
😄😄😁👊😋💪🙏💙🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴
Lol fruit leather... looks like fruit roll ups lolll... prob tastes good though .. i'm thinking like a jam consistency - prob good with toast. By the way love how you smell everything before you eat esp with the cheeses lol I do the same! Gotta experience all the senses right?
Georgian food -russian music....Yoy are insane!!!!
კარგიაა?😂😂😂
