Fun and Educational - Garret, our tour guide, was awesome! Despite the tour car breaking down, he took us to a few spots within walking distance and gave a great presentation on the vineyard and pistachio farm. A great time was had by all! Management also provided a full refund when the car broke down.

Love doing the tour - I love going here. Emilio was our tour guide and did an amazing job! Thanks Emilio! I will be back and can’t wait to take the tour again. And the gift shop is amazing. Pistachios are my favorite and these are so fresh and yummy.

Fun Fun Fun! - This place was so much fun! I felt like a kid in a candy store. I enjoyed the free wine tasting and loved all the flavored pistachios (spicy ranch and green chili are the bomb). The best part was the delicious ice cream! The staff was so friendly and also welcomed our pup to come in and enjoy the experience with us. Lots of fun merchandise to browse through. This place is absolutely worth the visit. Clean restrooms too!

Nice Tour, Expert Driver - Learned a lot about the origin of Pistachios...Iran! Grown here in the US for about 50 years after a lot of experimentation ,if I remember correctly. Mostly in Ca, Az and NM. Driver was very good, fun and informative. Well worth the admission charge for the half hour tour. Gift shop also has lots of pistachio flavors to sample and buy.

A great stop for all ages. - We're spending a few days in the area and this spot was on our area bucket list. What a pleasant hour. We arrived in time for a 11 am tour of both the pistachio and wine fields. James was our tour guide and wow does he know the history and all about farming pistachio and grapes. After the half hour tour we sampled and purchased both wine and pistachios. Patrick explained the wines well. The pistachio ice cream was an added treat. It's a great stop, not to be missed if in the area.

Worth the time & adds to the experience - 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.
