A sturgeon farm in Tiraspol · tour by appointment, a praised guide, a brand store in town
A booked tour through the farm, with guide Viorica, then caviar from the brand store in Tiraspol
Yes, for an unusual tour, if you get to Tiraspol · a guide praised by name, Beluga and sturgeon in the tanks. By phone booking only, otherwise you will not get in. Caviar is bought at the brand store in town.
A sturgeon farm and black caviar producer in Tiraspol, at Sovetskaya 1, in the Transnistrian region · keep that in mind for the trip and your documents. Open Monday to Friday 8:30-17:30. The site says they breed Beluga, Russian sturgeon, Bester and Sterlet, that maturation takes from a few years to a few decades, and that they use harvesting methods where the fish is not killed for its eggs. There are brand shops and an online shop for the EU. Reviews of the tour are enthusiastic: the guide, Viorica, a company employee, speaks good English, explains with enthusiasm and humour, knows the answer to any question and captivates adults and children alike. It is quite noisy inside. An important warning from reviews: the tour is booked in advance, by phone. One group arrived unannounced and could not get in · at the factory there is no lobby, store or museum, only production. The brand store opened separately, in Tiraspol, at Karl Liebknecht 379, near the KVINT plant.

“The tour was great, the tour guide has very good English and a very nice lady, told us a ton of interesting facts about the sturgeons, and answered all of the questions, highly recommend”
“FYI call and book a tour in advance! We arrived and they were not able to take us inside. There is no lobby or store or museum, only the factory. Giving 5 stats because they were kind and polite. You cannot enter the factory without prebooking several days in advance so they can schedule a guide.”
“The tour was absolutely captivating! Viorica, the guide, knows her stuff and explains everything so engagingly, with enthusiasm and humor. She knows the answer to any question, and the group and I were constantly intrigued. It was a truly wonderful experience!”
