Design my spring trip

Spring — April to early June — is the sweet spot for travellers who want warm weather without summer crowds. Alpine meadows carpet in wildflowers, Kakheti's vines wake up, Tbilisi hits perfect café weather, and Orthodox Easter (May 5, 2026) opens tables to almost any visitor. This is our full guide to spring in Georgia 2026.

Best for

  • Wildflower hikes in Kazbegi, Tusheti (late spring) and Borjomi
  • Wine country before summer heat
  • Tbilisi walking, café culture, festivals
  • Orthodox Easter (May 5, 2026) — supras, red eggs, chacha
  • Photography — soft light, green everywhere, snow on peaks

Weather

  • Daytime highs: 15–24°C in Tbilisi/Kakheti, 5–15°C in the mountains
  • Overnight lows: 5–12°C in Tbilisi, -5 to +5°C in the high Caucasus

April can still surprise with rain and a late snow at altitude. Layer up.

What to pack

  • Light rain shell + a warm mid-layer
  • Hiking shoes with grip — trails are muddy in April
  • Sunglasses & SPF 30+ — spring sun at altitude is strong
  • Casual layers for Tbilisi (denim + light sweater weather)
  • One nicer outfit if you'll join a supra or Easter dinner

Top experiences

Kazbegi wildflower hikes
The Juta valley erupts in blue gentians and yellow buttercups in May–June. Day hikes with a local guide from $60/person.
Kakheti wine country
Vines bud, hills go green, and cellars are quiet — deep tastings without the summer bus tours.
Tbilisi festivals
Tbilisoba's spring cousin, art fairs on Fabrika roof, and open-air jazz. Warm evenings, no crowds.
Orthodox Easter
Midnight liturgy, red-dyed eggs, chakapuli (lamb & tarragon stew). We can arrange a family-hosted Easter dinner.
Sighnaghi & Bodbe
The 'City of Love' is at its best in May — blooming roses, empty ramparts, sunset over the Alazani valley.
