Royal Riviera® Pears

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, our Royal Riviera® Pears are here! An extraordinary amount of care and dedication goes into growing our premium pears, from tending the orchards year-round and pruning the trees at just the right time to picking and packing each precious pear by hand. All the hard work is worth it though, because once they're ripened, they're super juicy with a sweet, buttery texture—reasons why we believe they’re simply the best pear around. Once you take that first delectable bite, we think you will too.

NOW HAPPENING IN THE ORCHARDS

Our pear harvest began in late August, and we will be picking until mid-September. After a “sugaring hold” that gives the fruit time to fully ripen, we will begin shipping Royal Riviera® Pears in mid-September.
