We opted for the €85 tour that includes a tasting of 3 types of caviar after a tour of the sturgeons. Amazing creatures and Carmen was very insightful as a tour guide. If you like caviar, I highly recommend it.

Whether you like caviar or not this is a great way to spend an affternoon. The sampling of the different types of caviar accompanied with champagne and vodka was hugely enjoyable. Learning about the sturgeon and their life cycle was fascinating!
It is a bit expensive but it is well worth the money. Our guide was lovely and very knowlegeable. Try and get there to experience something out of the ordinary...make sure you book ahead.

I had the chance to visit the Riofrio caviar farm where I was given a tour and someone explained how the sturgeons are bred and later on I was given a caviar tasting where they explained the different types of products they have which was really interesting.
The water flowing from the mountain were clear and clean and you can actually drink from it. Everything was ecologically done and the caviar they produced are organic and they taste really good, unlike the traditional caviar which is full of preservatives and so saltish you can barely taste the caviar.
I like the taste of the caviar as it tasted fresh and pure. My personal favourite is the Organic Natural one as it's mild, for stronger taste with dishes, then the Russian Style is better.
The business associates i was with got to go into the pond to touch the sturgeons while i took photos :)

Great experience for our 7 and 9 years old children. Great surroundings also with the river and the medieval bridge and absolutely exceptional food at El Meson

A friend recommended we stop here on our way from Ronda to Granada. It was so educational. We had no idea how Caviar was farmed. Multi tasting. Just too bad we can’t take it with us.

If you have ever wondered what caviar really is and how it's harvested, then look no further. If you haven't, you're in for an unexpected education!

My husband and I visited Riofrio and had a private tour. It was a fascinating tour, and we loved the tasting with Cava afterwards. If you like caviar put this on your to do list when you are in the area!

So interesting to learn about the sturgeon and how to differentiate real caviar from dyed caviar. Did the tasting and they were very generous with the caviar, champage and vodka. Thank God we had a driver to take us back to Granada. One of my favorite things that we did.

One of Europes earliest and biggest caviar producers using the cold and natural water of the Riofrio, it's a special place worth and interesting and tasty stop. You will need to book ahead in advance, and it is not cheap, but neither is caviar.
