12 Things to Do in Kutaisi in Winter

Buy snow Kutaisi

One of the things I most love about living in Georgia is getting to experience all four seasons to the fullest. While autumn is definitely my favourite time of year in Georgia , winter — especially the first weeks of winter — is a close second. Winter in Kutaisi, my current home, is a different experience to spending winter in Tbilisi , the capital. On the heels of my third Kutaisi winter, I have decided to offer my insider travel tips and round-up my favourite things to do in the winter months.

Kutaisi is an ideal winter destination in Georgia — either as a short city break, or as a gateway to the mountains and ski resort in Svaneti. The weather is pleasant — it rarely gets too cold — yet there is always a reliable source of snow nearby and even a chance to see snow in the city, if your timing is right. As well as Orthodox Christmas traditions and New Year celebrations, winter brings several cultural events and wine festivals to the city. The monasteries near Kutaisi continue to receive visitors, and most natural monuments including the caves and canyons stay open throughout the winter. Kutaisi is located in Western Georgia where the climate is quite different from the east. Because of its proximity to the Black Sea Coast, subtropical climate and higher humidity, winter arrives a little later in Kutaisi compared with Tbilisi. Oftentimes December in Kutaisi feels like a continuation of autumn. Temperatures remain mild, and it is generally quite dry. Certainly you can still find gorgeous fall foliage around the city and beyond especially in Tskaltubo right through until the middle of December. The two photos below were taken on the first weekend of December near Bagrati Cathedral in Kutaisi left and Tskaltubo right. For example, I usually get my big winter coat out in mid December up until that point, a warm jacket will do. That means lots of snow in the mountains, but lots of rain for Kutaisi unfortunately. January brings frosty mornings and brisk evenings to Kutaisi, with brilliant blue skies in between. It still warms up during the day, making January suitable for short winter-appropriate hikes and other outdoor activities. This month has lots of public holidays when museums and other sites are closed, so keep this in mind when planning your trip. February is the coldest month of the year in Kutaisi. The temperature drops, the skies turn grey, and the days are very short. The relatively high humidity in Kutaisi makes it feel even colder than it is — a big difference to Tbilisi, which experiences dry winters. I normally try to travel in February or just bunker down at home to work. However, summer and autumn are more prolonged these days and there is no longer a guarantee of seeing snow in the cities. Significant snow in Tbilisi has become a rarity. Compared to the capital, I think there is a better chance of getting snow in Kutaisi. For the two winters I have been here, there have been several days of flurries and even snow in late spring, dusting the emerging bulbs of the famous magnolia tree with powder. Unlike in Tbilisi, the snow seems to stick around for longer on the ground and trees… And on the sculptures around town! It snowed again on January 17, and again in mid-March. There are still parties, dinners and other events, some of which cater to the expat community, and of course you will be able to see an amazing fireworks display that comes to a crescendo at midnight. In the days leading up to December 31, Kutaisi hosts its own Christmas market and festive light displays. There is always a giant Christmas tree set up in front of the theatre. On December 25, there is normally a Catholic Christmas event with an orchestral performance and a food market hosted by the local tourism office. Kutaisi lights up from the middle of December with string lights and illuminated decorations. The display is concentrated around Central Park and reaches out into the surrounding streets. The highpoint of the show is the giant Christmas tree that is erected on the main square, in front of the theatre. Normally the lights keep shining all the way through the season until Orthodox Epiphany on January Snow starts falling in Svaneti as early as mid-October and continues through the winter. Splendid winter landscapes can be found in mountainous Imereti, Racha region , and closer to the centre in the foothills. Make the most of it by hiking from Gelati to the second monastery at Motsameta via the railway tracks. Just be sure to come prepared with waterproof shoes and proper winter hiking gear. If you prefer to go by road, there are marshrutka vans to Gelati from Kutaisi centre, and taxis can be booked via Bolt. If you want to visit with a guide and private transport, Budget Georgia continue their Gelati-Motsameta-Bagrati excursion every day throughout winter. This family-run business in Motsameta village offers lunch and dinner to walk-in guests, and even culinary masterclasses. Diners sit in an old-style Imeretian cottage in front of an open fireplace. The cuisine here is very apropos for winter — one of the local food traditions is cooking directly in the fire, using clay ketsi pans heated up on the coals then stacked on the hearth. This technique is used to prepare mchadi cornbread, mushrooms topped with cheese, village chicken with walnut sauce, and a range of other local specialty dishes. Bookings are essential — contact Maia on Facebook to pre-arrange your visit. The house is close to Gelati so you can easily walk up to the monastery after your meal. You might even get to meet the resident chef, Grandma Dali, who became a Kutaisi celebrity when a giant image of her preparing Imeretian Khachapuri was painted in ! Unless there is snow, the forested canyon remains verdantly green throughout December and January. Note that Okatse might be closed if there is frost this is a safety issue as the boardwalks become slippery , and the boat ride at Prometheus Cave might not be offered if the water levels are too low. Budget Georgia organises winter day trips from Kutaisi throughout the low season. I participated in the tour last winter: Read my full and honest write-up here. I also highly recommend visiting Vardzia in winter — the cave system looks wonderful in the snow. Find more ideas for winter adventures in my guide to the best Kutaisi day trips. Soaking in the Tbilisi sulfur baths is the perfect winter activity. While there are no thermal spas in Kutaisi city, you will find natural thermal waters and sulfur springs nearby, including at Sairme , Nokalakevi and Tskaltubo. One of my personal favourites, the Vani Sulfur Geyser , is easy to reach from Kutaisi and can be combined with a visit to the wonderful Vani Archaeological Museum. But the market is still incredibly photogenic. Winter welcomes pumpkins of every shape, colour and size, massive hauls of carrots and apples, mandarins and lemons, and of course bottles of homemade wine courtesy of the autumn harvest. You will also find dried chillies and marigold flowers, nuts, and the usual array of jams, pickles and preserves. In the lead up to Christmas and New Year, you will see popular winter provisions such as churchkhela and dried hurma persimmons above left. And outside the bazaar, beautifully decorated Georgian Christmas trees called chichilaki above right. The Green Bazaar is open every day. For the best variety and liveliest atmosphere, visit on a Saturday or Sunday in the mid-morning from around 10am. Kutaisi has a few indoor activities for those winter days when the weather is gloomy. The David Kakabadze Gallery near the opera house showcases works by the iconic Kutaisi-born painter. Traditionally it has always been Tbilisi and Batumi that are known for their street art scenes. In and , Kutaisi hosted a couple of street art festivals and received some incredible new murals, putting it firmly on the urban art trail. The Kutaisi International University campus south of Kutaisi is decorated with incredible large-scale murals. It is closed to the public, but you can view many of the pieces from outside the fence. To get there, take city bus 3 from the Colchis Fountain. One thing Kutaisi does have a reputation for is its cute cafes. Cosy and vintagey, they are the perfect retreat in winter. Tea House Foe-Foe is one of the most popular, with its frilly tablecloths, mismatched crockery, and artwork by Petre Otskaneli decorating the walls. They have a huge variety of black, green and herbal teas by the pot, and after hours, tea-based cocktail infusions. If you want to up the caffeine, I recommend dashing across the road to Piatto, a corner cafe inside a beautiful heritage building that serves the best coffee in Kutaisi. Lilestan restaurant hosts a pop-up winter cabin in its little courtyard, serving hot chocolate with marshmallows and mulled wine. Hosted by the Natural Wine Association , it brings together vintners from all over Georgia who specialise in organic and low-intervention wines. In , it was mostly Kakhetian wineries on show. I highly recommend spending the night at the venue, Legends Tskaltubo Resort — a partially restored Soviet-era sanatorium. It focused on local Imeretian wines, with some of my favourite wineries near Kutaisi represented. Like many of the former Soviet Republics , Georgians deferred religious celebrations to the secular date when it was part of the USSR — and this tradition has stuck. There are always a few private parties and special events held in Kutaisi, but the best way to ring in the new year is by joining local celebrations. The main square is closed to traffic and hosts live music and dance, plus a midnight countdown. The city skyline lights up with fireworks and crackers that men, women and children launch from street corners, rooftops and apartment balconies. The yard in front of Bagrati Cathedral and the viewpoint at Mtsvanekvavila church are two of the best vantage points in Kutaisi to watch the fireworks display. The Alilo Parade is a beautiful Georgian Christmas tradition that unfolds in Tbilisi, Kutaisi, and other cities and large towns throughout the country. The Orthodox ritual sees thousands of people march in unison down the streets, dressed in special robes and carrying Georgian flags, crucifixes and icons. In Kutaisi, bison and donkeys are enlisted to pull wooden carts called uremi. As they travel their circuit, participants collect food, clothing and other donations from onlookers to distribute to people in need. It normally starts at 10am from Kutaisi City Hall. Participants encircle the main square before travelling down Paliashvili Street and across Rustaveli Bridge, then culminating at Victory Square. I have found that other Orthodox Christmas traditions that have been lost in Tbilisi are still alive in Kutaisi. This includes the Alilo singers — groups of children who rove from door to door on Christmas eve chanting special songs in exchange for small gifts. Our first Christmas in Kutaisi, we were completely unprepared for this and had to give the children whatever we had at home — instant noodles and boxes of oats! Keep some fruit and individually wrapped candies handy in case you are visited by the Alilo kids. See this neighbourhood guide for detailed recommendations, or check out my top Kutaisi accommodation picks below. Rooms are cosy and perfectly decorated, and the property has an outdoor pool and onsite restaurant-bar, Doli. This popular hostel in historic Sapichkhia offers both dorms and private doubles with ensuites. The terrace garden is lovely, and the onsite Georgian-Jewish restaurant serves a delicious breakfast plus meals throughout the day. Rooms are comfortable, the service is friendly, and the onsite bar-restaurant is excellent. This historic 19th-century house is a minute walk from the Colchis Fountain. Rooms pair original wooden panelling and parquet floors with minimal, Scandi-style furnishings. There is a garden, and some rooms have private balconies. Situated in the heart of Kutaisi centre, this hotel has a magnificent rooftop bar overlooking the Opera Theatre. Thank you, Basil!
