Royal Riviera® Pears

We love this time of the year—Royal Riviera® Pears are here! An extraordinary amount of care and dedication goes into growing our premium pears, from tending the orchards year-round to 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 we believe they’re simply the best pears around, and once you take that first sweet, juicy bite, we think you will, too.

NOW HAPPENING IN THE ORCHARDS

Our pear and peach trees have now gone into dormancy until spring. With 700,000 pear trees across our 19 orchards, it will be all hands on deck for our pruning crews. They will be working nonstop from now until the buds appear in spring.
