Mission: Creating unforgettable dining and event experiences that unite community and nature through sustainable gastronomy and vibrant cultural activities. Vision: To be the leading community projects hub in the Transcaucasian region, celebrated for our commitment to local sourcing, sustainability, and empowering diverse communities.

“PROBLEM STATEMENT: The economic activity in the Republic of Georgia is heavily centralized, and economic growth and development are concentrated in the urban centers. However, the project area and many regions face a critical challenge: local youth are forced to leave their hometowns for better opportunities in larger cities or overseas. A need for more community spaces causes this migration, a fundamental requirement that needs to be added in these regions and overall in the Transcaucasus. These spaces, limited job opportunities, and a declining population are hindering the region's socio-economic growth and unity. Sustainable approaches are vital for maintaining a naturally healthy environment, too. The absence of sustainable and engaging local projects only worsens these issues, leaving the community without the necessary resources to thrive and preserve its cultural heritage. The situation is urgent, and immediate action is required to address these challenges and retain the local community. ”
