About me I am a born and raised Cracovian, with a particular love for food, culture, and travel. I am a Russian language and culture studies graduate, currently working reviewing online content.

GMT Krakow

Feast like a Georgian

""GMT" in a 'secret garden' in Krakow is dubbed a 'Georgian Wine&Art Gallery' because they approach enjoying Georgian wine as one would enjoy art..."

Hidden amongst blocks of flats, just about half an hour walk from the main square, there is a place called GMT Georgian Wine&Art Gallery. Why "art gallery?" "GMT" was created by a Georgian art company 'O'Lile' to showcase a truly Georgian approach to wining and dining - to experience it as one experiences art. And boy, do they come through on that promise.

Every little detail of this place contributes to a nearly transcendent event. Starting with the surroundings, which make 'Secret garden' come to mind, with flowers, trees, tall grass, and beautiful little gazebos all around... I swear, it's like you're not even in a city anymore - the greenery is noise-canceling.

Then the main event - wine. GMT offers a wide selection, but if you had to try one I would recommend getting your hands on one of the dry amber kvervi wines (aka orange wines). It's typical for Georgia and it owes its color to a particular way of fermenting it with the skins, seeds, and stalks in a clay vessel called 'kvervi', which is buried below ground.

Pair it up with some Georgian classics such as a Khachapuri Adjaruli or a heavenly Mutabali (eggplant, tahini, pomegranate, and coriander - it's the bomb) and you are in for a real treat.

And don't forget to pop in for the Khinkali Thursday!

"Milk Bar Miła" in Krakow is a canteen from communist times. Today locales like this are disappearing. The prices are dirt cheap; be sure to have change!
