Carcagente Orange Grove Tour

At the scheduled time, we'll meet at the entrance of the Huerto Ribera, a grove dating back to the 19th century. During our visit, we'll learn how they grow high-quality oranges.

The tour will begin by admiring the large warehouse and walking through the gardens to view the century-old orange trees and various flowers, with the pleasant aroma of orange blossom.

We will explore the traditional cultivation methods and how avant-garde techniques have been incorporated into this sector. You will also learn about different varieties of citrus fruits, including Sanguinelli, citrus yuzu, mano de buda, citrus caviar, calamondin, and kumquats, and their differences.

You will see how irrigation systems, pruning, and grafting function. Participants can compete for a diploma as a qualified farmer. An activity allows you to harvest up to 1.5 kilos of oranges or tangerines by hand.

After spending 2 hours 30 minutes exploring the orange grove, we will enjoy a tasting of artisanal liqueurs with fruit flavors.
