Cook Guest House

This family guest house is to the west of Ambrolauri, not far from the town, at 1,200 metres (3,940 feet) above sea level. It’s on the northern side of the main road. Through a country gate, in a pretty vineyard-garden with great views out over the Rioni Valley, Izolda Dvali runs a guest house for up to 25 people and will also cook for groups and give cooking lessons if you book in advance. It’s worth it. She’s a fine cook and lively hostess and can demonstrate how traditional foods are prepared in Racha. Meals can be arranged even if you’re not staying at Izo’s house.
