So if you are a wine-lover, keep reading! 

We will introduce you to the art of winemaking in Bali, and give you tips for a new and fun experience to spice up your Bali getaway.

Vineyards and Varieties

In the North of Bali, locals have been growing grapes for centuries. The abundance of sunshine, clear mountain water and rich volcanic soil in the area make the grapes growing conditions perfect. Winemaking in Bali is relatively new, starting in 1994. Overtime methods and techniques have advanced, and today there are several renowned wineries, giving you a chance to taste wines from this beautiful, tropical island.

Wineries in Bali have seen opportunities in this agriculture and applied superior production technologies to produce beautiful wines that combine the best of international and local grapes and techniques. Winemaking in Bali is unique due to the tropical climate and it’s so interesting to learn about. Farmers harvest grapes 2-3 times per year, increasing their output significantly! 

The grapes that are grown in Bali are both local and international grape varieties, giving the wines a familiar yet unique taste palette. Indonesians in general prefer to drink sweeter wine, so if you love sweet wine then there are great ones for you to try out! But fear not if you prefer dry wine – there is something for every taste. 

Wineries to visit:

Hatten Winery

Variety of Hatten Wines

Hatten Wines is Bali’s original winery which is Balinese-owned winery, their wine is made from locally grown grapes. The company was founded in 1994 and first became famous from their rosé wine – the perfect wine for the hot climate! Now they produce a wide range of wines including sparkling, whites, red and their iconic Pino de Bali fortified wine. Hatten harvests their grapes 3 times a year and processes over 1000 tons of grapes per year. They produce dry and sweet wines, so there is something for any taste.

Apart from their local wines, they also produce the popular “Two Island” wines, made from Australian grapes but produced in Bali. This is truly combining the best of the Two Islands. In the Two Islands range you will find sparkling, reds, whites and rosé. There is even a Black Label Reserve range to try for the real wine connoisseurs. 

If you want to try their different wine varieties from both the Hatten and Two Island ranges, you can choose from three different tastings at their Cellardoor – Balinese, comparison or sweet lover!
