Where to buy Georgian souvenirs and gifts (spices, tea, cognac) in Batumi?

Carrefour has a wide selection of Georgian wines suitable as gifts: choose Rkatsiteli for white wine, Mukuzani for dry red, or Kakhuri orange wine if available.

By late July - early August, fresh grapes of local Georgian varieties are already available at markets and from private sellers for homemade wine.

For a good Georgian cognac aged 10+ years in gift packaging, look in specialized wine/spirits shops in Kobuleti rather than regular supermarkets.

For everyday groceries, it's cheaper and offers more authentic local products to shop at local markets run by Georgians rather than big chain supermarkets, which are pricier and stocked with many Russian brand imports.

Good quality dried Georgian spices can be found at the market in the Khopa area — one traveler noted that spices bought there 4 years ago are still in good condition.

For buying Georgian spices and tea as gifts, the Boni market is recommended as the main option.
