You’re nuts if you don’t visit this spot! - We’re on vacation out west and drove WAY out of our way to visit the largest pistachio in the world as my husband’s a pistachio “nut” Those extra miles were more than worth it! Take a motorized tour on the vineyard and pistachio orchard (don’t miss the nut & wine samples inside the gift shop!) and finish your visit with a scoop (or two) of their pistachio ice cream - so tasty! Hats off to Emilio, our driver & tour guide and Tara who poured our wine samples and perfectly explained the tastes we’d experience in each. What a perfect New Mexico afternoon!

Pistachio Ice Cream - We did not do the tour, but the place itself is deserving of 5 stars. The pistachio ice cream is INCREDIBLE, the shop is huge, and the giant pistachio is a cute photo op. They have so many flavors of pistachios, and you can sample them (for free). They also have free wine tasting. I ended up buying several bags of flavored pistachios to bring home as souvenirs for friends and family. This might be the best roadside attraction I’ve ever stopped for!

Way above expectations - I expected just a photo op and high-priced tourist trap BS. Instead, Garret did an awesome job with a farm tour, the wine tasting was excellent, pistachio samples were tasty, and ice cream portions were generous. I definitely would recommend it.

Great time - Great place to stop by. The tour was very informative, and our guide Emilio was very energetic. Loved eating the grapes right off the vine! We enjoyed ALL THE FREE SAMPLES! There are so many choices.

Super friendly and helpful staff - If you’re visiting Alamogordo, stopping at pistachio land is a must. Besides seeing the 35 foot tall pistachio, you can take a short guided tour through the pistachio trees. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. We got to meet the owner Tim. Then we went into the gift shop and we’re greeted with an amazing staff. Everyone there seemed genuinely happy that they worked there. We took our two Morkies and they were given free puppies cups that they truly enjoyed. Wonderful experience! And to tell the truth, we probably bought too many pistachios. Lol

Get a Tara, it is amazing!!!! - Tara was amazing and very knowledgeable when giving the tour of the farm. She was great with my son. They make a lot of things in house and you can tell everything is so fresh and delicious. Have been there multiple times and I love it. Their Pistachio brittle is amazing!

Pistachio farm tour ride - My friend and I took the little tour ride through the vineyard and the pistachio fields. We throughly enjoyed it. Tara was the tour guide . She is knowledgeable and informative. We shall do a rerun in the near future. After the ride we shopped and so many items to choose from. Ended up buying the pistachio nuts, of course!
