What gifts should you bring home from Georgia?
Food, drink and souvenirs that travel well and are appreciated.
Short answer
The most popular things to bring from Georgia are wine and chacha, churchkhela, spices such as khmeli suneli and utskho suneli, tkemali and adjika sauces, Svan salt, Georgian tea and honey. Popular souvenirs include cloisonné enamel jewellery called minankari, ceramics, felt goods and Svan hats. Before buying alcohol, meat or cheese, check your country's import rules.
Why
- Dry spices, salt, tea and churchkhela travel well and need no refrigeration.
- Minankari, Georgian cloisonné enamel, has been made since the Middle Ages.
- Many countries, including EU members, restrict imports of meat and dairy.
Details
Spices and churchkhela are cheaper at markets such as Tbilisi's Dezerter Bazaar or Batumi's Central Market. Pack wine and chacha well in your checked luggage when flying.
