Aquatir Sturgeon Farm
The sturgeon and caviar farm at the heart of Transnistria
Guided sturgeon-farm tour + fresh caviar tasting at the source
Yes, for a curious detour through Transnistria — see how sturgeon is raised and taste caviar right at the source.
Aquatir is one of Eastern Europe's largest sturgeon farms — massive indoor pools where thousands of fish swim, from stellate sturgeon to beluga, raised for caviar that's exported worldwide. The guided tour takes you through the pools (blue overalls mandatory), explains the years-long growth cycle, and ends with a tasting of fresh caviar straight from the source. It's the kind of stop standard tourism completely misses — no wine, no monastery, just a fascinating agro-industrial curiosity, right next to Tiraspol. Book your visit in advance; groups are formed and access to the halls is controlled.

“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!”
