Chokhatauri family guesthouses are most often a portion of the family home, where the family opens their own space to the guest. A room, a bedroom, sometimes a separate entrance — but in every case, meals shared at the family table.
Chokhatauri families most frequently receive visitors looking for an alternative to formal tourism. These visitors drink tea with the grandmother on the first morning, help in the vegetable garden, drink local wine at the evening supra.
Many Chokhatauri families also offer small activities: a walk through the tea garden, a beekeeping visit, a look at the wine cellar. This 'overnight tour' is informal, with the family playing the role of guide.
