The chef, Gia Rokashvili, uses local ingredients and serves the food with local wines. Tony had boiled beets in wild plum sauce, freshly foraged mushrooms with chili pepper, mint, and tarragon; baby lamb stewed with cumin, cooked with wild rice; fresh tonis puri, bread made in a tandoor-like clay oven. He ate with Keti Bochorishvili, former Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, and Tamuna Gvaberidze, gallery owner.

"Pheasant's Tears, founded in 2007 by an American expat and artist, John Wurdeman, and Gela Patalishvili, was one of the first Georgian wineries working in a traditional mode to send its wines to the U.S. The winery is known for its celebratory feasts called supras, which involve endless plates of amazing food and enough wine to pickle an elephant. Dishes include foraged mushrooms with herbs, khachapuri, rolled thinly sliced eggplant with walnut sauce, chakapuli, and tender roast chicken in a milk-based garlic sauce. The atmosphere is filled with toasts and high-spirited celebrations." - Ray Isle

Easily topped as one of the best meals I’ve had in Georgia past 1 week. The flavour profile of the pork dish was rich but slightly too salty (especially when I reheated the leftover at home). Eggplant salad was absolutely perfect and hit the spot right. Very tasteful tannin amber wine made by the winery. Price is quite high compared to to most restaurants in Georgians but you get what you pay😉 I paid 103 lari for 1 appetiser, 1 main, 1 glass of wine, bread

We wanted to have a good night, taste great Georgian wine and food and this is exactly what we had. We are bringing a bottle back to Montréal and will drink it thinking of this amazing place. You can really feel the chill and friendly vibes. A special thank you to our waitress and her dad whom was in the kitchen.

Amazing 😍!!!! While that would pretty much sum up the overall place and experience let me add on a few details just to give more context. The food is absolutely fantastic ( verified by a local dining with us that it's authentic or as close ) the portion sizes are family size and delicious to the last bite. I am not a wine expert but I absolutely loved the wines that were served (made in house) . Being mostly a family run business the service was warm and friendly. The only thing missing if I am being very very critical is a good view to the seating area, but that's just a want. In summary do not miss visiting this great restaurant and winery.

The food is amazing, I had the best food of the trip here, really out of this world, the wine is also really good, just wish the staff was a bit more friendly and better at recommending a wine. But 100% a must

We tasted Poliphonia in New Zealand many years ago, then read about the food in Carla Capalbo's cookbook. We were lucky might to overhear a group being introduced to Georgian wine by part owner John Wurderman he said "orange wines are the introspective cousins of red wine" and thus beloved by winemakers. Come if you have an interest in wine and food, and are willing to expand your range.

Tasting 40 GEL 2 White, 2 Red & Clear ChaCha This place caters exclusively to large groups. It's truly a shame that a couple or individuals can't experience the wine tasting with traditional Georgian hospitality. This time I even made a prior inquiry via the online form & did not receive any response. The wines are good. The food is exceptional (though substantially higher priced than anywhere else in town), but after two visits in 5 years, I still felt like a bother, instead of being treated as a guest. We tried the wines, but didn't learn anything about the winery. We watched a group enter and they received a completely different experience. Most of the wines were sold out, so I guess that is why they don't put much effort into encouraging customers.

Very authentic and beautiful place. A secret place in kakheti with amazing food and wine produced directly by the winemaker. A beautiful gem in a precious ancient village. It worths the trip

One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time, accompanied by delicious wine. We ordered the raw beetroot salad, a cheese and herb pastry, lobiani and charred mushrooms. All of the food was incredible and the atmosphere was lovely, with an open fire. Couldn’t recommend more. Great vego options
