Tours of the farm cost $3.19. The last one starts at 4PM. The tour lasts about half an hour. Plan on at least another 30 minutes in the store. Free wine samples and free pistachio samples (10+ flavours).

Perfect place to spend the afternoon! From the gift shop and wine tastings to the ice cream shop and tours, theres something for the whole family. Such a cool spot to check out, who knew that there was a world record for the largest Pistachio...the wine was absolutely delicious and with free samples I found several bottles I loved. My favorite part was the tour, the guide was very knowledgeable and nice, she was passionate and made the tour of the farm fun! I learned so much that I didnt know before like Pistachio trees living for hundreds of years and that theyre grafted into other trees since they cant live in the New Mexico soil on their own. Incredibly fascinating and definitely worth the tour. Dont miss out on this world famous wonder!

Such a fun road side stop! I’ve ordered there pistachios online but this was my first time to there store. There pistachios are delicious!! They offer free samples for all of their flavors. After you’ve stuffed your face with pistachios, you can stuff your face with some yummy pistachio ice cream and homemade waffle cones. While you’re enjoying your ice cream you can enjoy a beautiful view of the surrounding area. It’s a great place for a little bit of fun and to relax.

This was our first time here. Really glad we stopped! The store has a variety of food items, with of course pistachios and souvenirs. Found a few souvenirs to take home. Got a couple different types of pistachios that we will enjoy. The grounds are beautiful. Did not do a tour but that looks like it would have been fun. They said they do those every hour. We got pistachio ice cream before leaving and that was tasty. Definitely stop if you’ve never been! It is worth it.

This is a treat to check out. Everything they sell is grown, seasoned, and packaged on site. The pistachios are delicious.We took a lovely tour around the fields. Our tour guide, Tara, was the bomb! She was very knowledgeable and friendly. I’d encourage anyone to take the tour from her.

Good place to take the family. Tour is short but very informative. Lots of products inside the store but it felt more like a New Mexico souvenir shop. We were disappointed that the ice cream they sold there was Blue Bell and not homemade.

We visited the store and bought some pistachios. We didnt do the tour (which costs $3 per person). Most of the items in the store have nothing to do with pistachios. Its a fun quick stop on a road trip.

Review №15

Very cute shop with lots of different nuts to chose from, not just pistachios. The tour isnt very long but you learn a LOT of information about the founders and both the vineyard and orchards. The tour guide is very sweet and knowledgeable and was great with the random questions my child likes to ask. Plus who doesnt want to see the worlds largest pistachio.

Review №16

The smell that engulfs you when you walk through the doors is....heavenly and delicious. The store is huge and they offer a variety of Pistachio products, clothing, honey, salsas, etc. They also have a ice cream shop and make their own waffle cones which I couldnt resist their signature Pistachio ice cream and blackberry crumble! A must go for yourself or for the family! They also offer tours 😉

Definitely do the tour. Its informative. Great pisctacho options. That pistachio wine is hitting! Get a bottle. Do the wine tasting. Its worth the wait. Lori is the best, very patient and listened to what you liked and tried to pair you with something youll like. We walked out with 6 bottles, 3 each. Definitely worth the visit. Ohhhh get the pistachio ice cream its delicious

I always wanted to come here but never had the time. But finally we were able to stop by and pose in front of this huge pistachio. I had my nephew Latrell pose under it and pretend like he was carrying it. :) I didnt get to visit the store, perhaps on the next visit. But its a cool tourist attraction to check out.

My family really enjoyed Pistachioland! We took the 20 minute motorized tour which was fun and informative. The shop is huge and offers tons of pistachio merchandise, wine, locally made projects, and other fun gifts and goodies. And, of course you have to get the pistachio almond ice cream. The staff was all very friendly and they enforced the mask mandate (which you dont see much in that part of NM).

Review №37

I never knew how much I didnt know about pistachios until our excellent tour guide, Matt, educated us on a the nutty goodness. I can now proudly tell my children Ive seen the largest pistachio in the world. They sell all sorts of pistachio infused things, even wine! Due to COVID wine tastings arent happening but I took a gamble and bought a bottle.

Review №38

Was going to buy $40 worth of stuff, but after poor customer service we just got a scoop of ice cream. The ice cream was fine.There are two checkout counters (one doubles as a wine tasting area I guess). We got referred to the wine tasting checkout counter where two ladies were. One lady said she wasnt open so told us to check out with the lady next to her.The lady next to her didnt seem to realize we wanted to check out or even acknowledge us even though we were standing in front of the counter. She let an older couple cut in front of us. That couple ended up taking their time, adding a wine tasting after some back and forth, and then calling their friends over to join them... At this point, we just decided to leave. We were never acknowledged other than the first time we were told to go to the other checkout.My friends waited in the other line and checked out before us even though the person in front of them was buying over $200 worth of pistachio goods.

This is our favorite pistachio farm in Alamogordo. Weve been here 3 times over the last couple of years. They have a great product and we also enjoy their wine. Our kids love the ice cream and gift shop. They also have trees you can purchase on an annual basis. Weve purchased 3 and we cant wait to see how theyll so omin Albuquerque.

Review №49

Its a great experience. They offered many different samples for you to try. We sampled many different flavors of pistachios, pecans and wine. We took the tour and my 3 year old loved it. The tour was $2 per adult and $1 for children 2-12. Because we took the tour, we each received a coupon for a free cookie or $1 off for ice cream. Our tour guide was very nice and very knowledgeable. It was a fun experience. I can imagine how different it might look during different seasons.

Review №50

We had always stopped at local gas stations that sold pistachios, rather than stop here; not sure why. Today we decided to stop by and, MAN!!!, we were surprised!!!This place seems to have every flavor of pistachio! My favorite was the bacon ranch (anything bacon, I’m down)!! There were many flavors and even pistachio brittle.In addition to pistachios goodness, there is also wine (see pictures) and we were able to try up to four - it was a nice experience.We bought nearly $100 of pistachios. If you buy over $75, you get a free spin (see picture).I would definitely recommend this place! If you don’t make it a point to stop, then you are nuts!!

Review №51

My husband loves Pistachios! Our first time there, ever! Very nice gift shop, samples of their different flavors of pistachio nuts and pecans! Thankful for the samples, not everyone will like the same flavors. They also have free wine tasting and ice cream. A great display of affordable gifts. They have motorized tours of the pistachio nut farm too. A minimal fee for this tour. $1 for kids & $2 for adults.

We stopped in on a whim just to check out pistachio land and loved it. Tara our tour guide was very accommodating. She gave us a tour around the farm even though we had nothing booked. She was funny and knowledgeable and introduced us to their wine selection afterwards. 10/10s would go again. I’d like to see the farm again in the summer time.
