March – May
Spring in Georgia
The valleys turn green, monasteries wake from winter and the first mountain passes reopen. Mild days, few crowds and the best light of the year.
Weather
12–22°C lowlands

Wine, culture, blossoms
Note
High passes still closed
Spring is Georgia at its freshest — orchards in blossom, rivers running high with snowmelt and the lowland trails carpeted in wildflowers. It is the quiet shoulder season: hotel rates are gentle, the wine cellars are calm, and by May the lower Caucasus valleys are open for walking. High passes like the Abano and Tusheti are still closed, so spring is a season for Kakheti, the cave cities, Tbilisi and the green foothills rather than the high mountains.
