The tour guide, Emilio, was absolutely delightful! Very informative and super knowledgeable! We enjoyed it immensely! I only have one suggestion for them… MAKE A ROOM SPRAY IN THE SCENT “UNRIPENED PISTACHIO”!!!! It’s an AMAZING smell!

We bought our tickets through Viator and it is actually cheaper at the place. They also didn’t plan for us and the tour guide ran over on his 1st tour by 15-20 minutes. They made up the time on our tour. So it lasted 15 minutes tops. Also, don’t buy the pre packaged pistachio ice cream. The fresh scoop is $.25 more, it’s in a smaller cup but it is over flowing from that cup and it has large pieces of pistachio. The pre scooped is a slightly larger cup but it has a lid so it does not overflow. The pre scooped I would say is the bottom of the big tub and they just scrape the sides down and use the very bottom of the bucket to fill it. The pistachios are basically non existent in the pre scooped package. The actual pistachios that they have taste AMAZING plus they let you taste all the flavors! That was the only thing worth stopping for.

We really enjoyed the tour! Our guide Emilio made it so much fun and we learned alot about pistachios in the US. All 3 of our dogs seemed to enjoy it, especially the pup cups afterward!

It was amazing to hear how pistashio trees are grown. It’s not as simple I had thought. A lot of time and effort goes into it, especially time. Our guide was excellent. He gave an excellent and enthusiastic presentation. He was able to answer all of our questions.

Our guide was awesome. He was super knowledgeable about the farms history as well as all the plants story. How amazing! We all love it!

Tara gave an excellent tour-entertaining and informative. The farm was only charging $3 and there was plenty of room, if we hadn’t reserved and paid $5. I loved hearing about your option on Viator, so we could plan our day. Tara seemed surprised about our tour and was delayed getting started after her previous tour. She had to cut short some her spiel in order to finish on time. Other than that, the tour was worth the time and money and helped us appreciate pistachioland.
We loved the free samples and wide selection of products. They are growing grapes now, but the sweet wines they offered were not appealing to my group — others there seemed to love them and bought several bottles after the free wine tasting.

The education from the driver. Just great. Learned a lot about growing and harvesting pistachios. My wife really appreciated the willingness of the staff to answer all her questions.

Interesting and comfortable tour around the pistachio grove. Driver was very informative and answered all our questions about the farm & the surrounding area. Very nice gift shop, many flavor varieties of pistachios to purchase if you’re interested; we just love the roasted & salted. 😊 Don’t skip the pistachio ice cream…it’s the best we’ve ever had! 😋
