    Overview

    We are in Shiraz, the city of white orange blossoms. In the month of Ordibehesht (April and May) you can feel their great fragrance all over in the space. Iranians have found that the best way to capture this essence and make use of it is through distillation. Distillation has been one of the main branches of food and beverage industry during history. Iranians being the pioneers of medical sciences have been familiar with different medicinal advantages and disadvantages of herbs, flowers and grains, from a long time ago. For example, mint is one of wide known herbs with extra ordinary effects in curing gastric diseases. The relieving effects of rose water for the heart and neural system make it the most reputed distillate in Iran. Producing rose water is widely practiced in Kashan (Isfahan province) and people use it in many foods, desserts or sweets. It should be said that without rose water the Iranian pastry is impossible.

    On this tour, you will watch all the stages of preparing and producing distilled beverages and you can choose the proper potions for yourself based on your health state, after consulting the people in charge.
