We love this place. Is it a “tourist trap”? Sure you could call it that. But that doesn’t make it not worth going to. Their gift shop is extensive and has many unexpected items, not just t-shirts and mugs. But the real treat is the pistachio bar. Serve yourself all you want pistachio tasting, with a surprising array of flavors. You cannot beat this if you like pistachios! Also, you can take the tour of the orchard on a little tram, which is actually quite interesting and informative. They make their own pistachio ice cream here, which is quite good, so it’s fun to eat your ice cream while riding on the tram through the pistachio orchard. This is not a place for someone with nut allergies obviously, but I have included it here because if you are in the area, it’s definitely worth the stop. - Lisa
