On 26 September, the festival will be opened at the Amirani movie theatre with the film "Michelin Stars: Tales from the Kitchen", presented by Kristian Brask Thomsen, film producer, gastronomy expert, and industry communications guru. The fill tells stories about the grand menus of culinary temples and the importance of the Michelin guide in the golden age of gastronomy.
On 28 September, famous chefs Janaina Rueda from Brazil, João Oliviera from Portugal, and Irakli Asatiani from Georgia, executive chef of Silk Hospitality, will serve the dinner at Radisson Collection Hotel Tsinandali Estate in Tsinandali, East Georgia.
