Prego & Hava Nagila: Kakheti, Kutaisi, and a Quick Riga Escape

| Living in Georgia | 10 seen

Our latest adventures in Kakheti (September 2024) are out, and it’s been a mix of good vibes, great food, and even better wine! From exploring Kakheti to a spontaneous solo trip to Riga, there’s plenty to share.

Let’s start in Kakheti. We kicked things off with fresh ponchiki (basically Georgian beignets) from the Telavi market – fried, fluffy, and irresistible. There was no shortage of Saperavi wine, thanks to Hotel Serodani, where lazy afternoons by the pool turned into evenings of pure relaxation. We skipped the Shukashvili dance performance at the Tsinandali Music Festival (next time!), but the charm of the region kept us busy with vineyard views and good company.

After that, it was back to Tbilisi and then Kutaisi, where I hopped on a Georgian bus – always an adventure in itself – to make our way to Riga via Wizzair. Riga was a quick but memorable two-day escape, packed with beautiful architecture, Baltic vibes, and plenty of DIY.

Oh, and let’s not forget the random fun we had back home with Karcher and Depo – cleaning, fixing, and just making life a little more organized. It’s not all glamorous, but it’s real.

The video’s out now, so check it out, drop a like, and let me know what you think. Cheers to the next adventure!
