Georgia to Hamburg

Georgia is coming to Hamburg.

Discover selected Georgian snacks, tea, spices and wine – and be there for our first tastings.

The first tastings take place in Hamburg.

More than wine.

Georgia has one of the world’s oldest food and wine cultures – but many of its products are still almost unknown in Germany. We want to change that.

We source special products directly from Georgian producers and bring the most exciting ones to Hamburg.

Svaneti Spices
Western Georgia Tea
Kakheti Wine
Churchkhela & Tklapi from all over Georgia

Churchkhela

Grape must · walnuts

Grape must, walnuts and a centuries-old Georgian tradition.

Churchkhela is made in autumn, at the grape harvest: walnuts are threaded on a string and dipped again and again in thickened grape must. Then the strands dry for days.
Tklapi

Fruit purée · sun-dried

Georgian fruit leather – intense, simple and surprising.

For tklapi, fruit purée is cooked down, spread paper-thin and dried in the sun. The sour version, made from cherry plums, even seasons soups like kharcho in Georgia.
Georgian tea

Tea leaves · Western Georgia

Tea from the Caucasus – an almost forgotten Georgian tradition.

Large-scale tea growing began on the Black Sea coast in the late 19th century. In Soviet times, most of the Soviet Union’s tea came from Georgia – today small producers are bringing the old plantations back.
Wine

Qvevri · Kakheti

Native grape varieties and qvevri wines.

Finds show some 8,000 years of winemaking in Georgia. In a qvevri, a clay vessel buried in the ground, the wine traditionally ferments with skins and seeds – UNESCO intangible heritage since 2013.
Spices

Svanetian salt · khmeli suneli

Unmistakable spice blends.

Svanetian salt comes from the mountains of north-west Georgia: salt with garlic, blue fenugreek, coriander and chilli. Khmeli suneli blends dried herbs with marigold, the “Imeretian saffron”.

Come to the Georgian table.

An evening of tasting, discovering and sharing.

In Georgia, food means more than getting full. It means sitting together, sharing, telling stories and trying something new.

That is exactly the feeling we want to bring to Hamburg.

Taste. Discover. Help decide.

At our first tastings you’ll get to know selected Georgian specialities and the stories behind them. And you’ll help us find out what belongs on the shelf in Hamburg.
