Holiday Ayo - Georgia, at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, is a historic Soviet republic home to Caucasus Mountain villages and the Black Sea beaches. It is famous for Vardzia, a sprawling 12th-century cave monastery, and the ancient wine-growing Kakheti region. Tbilisi, the capital, is renowned for its old town ‘s diverse architecture and mazelike, cobblestone avenues.

The following pieces from each of Georgia’s nine travel regions make great keepsakes and Souveniers for faraway friends and relatives, from vintage novels to home and garden décor. Here is a list of Unique Souvenirs in Georgia that you can gift your loved ones.

Georgian Blue Tablecloths

Georgian blue tablecloths have been an integral part of Georgian cultural heritage for centuries and are decorated with plants, birds, deer and table attributes. Such blue and white tablecloths are named supra in Georgian and share the name with the typical Georgian feast — humorous because you can barely see them on the table during the regular supra under the dishes, cups, and wine glasses. Current tablecloth variants have red and green fabrics which also have the same structure and features. You can even have the same designs on stunning coasters. It is one of the simplest Souvenirs in Georgia that you can get.

Georgian Wine Horn

Georgia is the birthplace of wine, which has a powerful tradition of drinking. A drinking horn has historically been used as a portable cup. Usually, the Georgian wine horn or khantsi is constructed of ram or goat horns and adorned with silver cuffing and a cord. The souvenir models come with lovely wooden show stands but they used to hang the horn from their sword belts in the earlier days. It is one of the traditional Souvenirs in Georgia that you can get.

Georgian Wine

The typical Georgian wine is bottled and aged in qvevri, egg-shaped earthenware containers, which are then sealed and buried on the ground so that the wine can mature for five to six months before drinking. This traditional form of winemaking is on the Official List of Humanity’s Intangible Cultural Heritage under UNESCO. These herby, spicy wines from Georgia make a great present. Georgians often produce wines using the more traditional techniques and with a bottle of Château Mukhrani or Orgo Saperavi you can not go wrong. It is one of the recommended Souvenirs in Georgia that you should get.

Georgian Spices

Dezerter Bazaar is a wonderful spice-buying store in Tbilisi. Blue fenugreek or utskho suneli that grows wild in the mountains is commonly used in Georgia to season food and is the key seasoning in the tasty stew of beans, lobio. Dried marigold, or patula tagetes, is a quick substitute for saffron. We also mark it as saffron, but the quality is nowhere similar to saffron. For the gastronomers, this is a spectacular Souvenir in Georgia.

Georgian Churchkhela

Churchkhela is tasty chewy sweets made of walnut halves that are threaded onto a long string and then dipped into grape or meal-mixed pomegranate liquid. Another local delicacy to try is tklapi, a thin lavash of sour fruits, usually made with sour prums. It is one of the sweetest Souvenirs in Georgia that you can get.
