British magazine Belle About Town has highlighted Georgia’s culinary potential, noting its presentation at the National Geographic Traveller Food Festival in London.

Travel journalist Gill Martin visited the Georgian Corner at the National Geographic Traveler Food Festival and introduced Georgian dishes and wine to the readers.

“The event was attended briefly by the Georgian ambassador, the Georgian National Tourism Administration also participated in the National Geographic Traveller Food Festival. Leading Georgian chefs and sommeliers joined those from around the world in London for a series of culinary and wine masterclasses.

There were tastings and discussions about Georgian food, and guests discovered a viticulture that’s thrived for some 8,000 years. Under the guidance of sommelier Irakli Cholobargia they tasted wines crafted at the crossroads of Europe and Asia,” Gill Martin wrote.

According to the Agency, this marked Georgia’s debut participation at the National Geographic Traveler festival.
