About Us

We are a bunch of foodies who are passionate about presenting local foods and beverages in order to unveil cultural and traditional values on a tour, in a food festival or in a get-together. A team of three researchers, two food bloggers and cooks, as well as a tourism mediator are core members. Also, we are well-connected to many influential tourism entities alongside culinary professionals and restaurants.

What we do is mainly introducing local foods and beverages of Yazd and extending it to Iranian versions. In brief, we hold academic food tourism workshops, culinary classes, food tours and anything in this domain upon request for a culinary experience.

What we desire to achieve in the long-run is to form a national network of food and beverage masters for travelers who care about eating well.

Founder

My name is Hussein Dehghan. I have been a cultural tourist guide since 2003. Being keen on culture, history and geography, I started performing tours and work in tourism industry extensively. My education was also influenced by my passion; therefore, I got my Master’s in Iranian Studies (Orientalism).

As a certified Culinary Tourist Guide who is personally a foodie and loves to offer Iran’s gastronomy and culture, I followed this into invigorating Yazd food Tourism Committee in 2020 and later establishing Donar Food Tourism Association in 2020 with the support of a team and 17 years of experience in tour and travel development.
