Swirl, Sip, and Savor at These 5 Best Wine Tasting Spots in Bali
Wine always felt a little intimidating to us. All those swirling glasses, quiet nods, and people casually describing flavors we could barely identify made it seem like a skill you were born into… somewhere between fancy steakhouses and curated mobile bars.
Then we found ourselves actually sitting through a tasting and realized it is not about getting everything right. It is about noticing, comparing, and slowly figuring out what you enjoy, and wine tasting in Bali felt more relaxed than expected.
After a few surprisingly opinionated reactions and unexpected favorites, it made sense to round up spots for anyone curious. This way, you can enjoy wine without feeling like you have to impress anyone.
How much does a wine tasting cost in Bali?
Wine tasting in Bali typically costs between IDR 150,000 and IDR 500,000 per person. This depends on the number of wines included and whether food pairings are offered.
1. Sababay Winery
Address: Jalan Professor Doktor Ida Bagus Mantra No.333X Keramas, Medahan, Kec. Blahbatuh, Kabupaten Gianyar
Contact Details: +62361949099
Business Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: 9:30 AM – 5:30 PM
Sababay Winery was founded in 2010. It runs at scale and works with over 180 local grape farmers, adding real weight to the experience.
Their Tour & Taste sits at around IDR 180,000+ for 1 to 1.5 hours. It includes a guided walkthrough and three to four wines, so it feels organized rather than rushed.
Inside, access goes beyond a simple tasting bar, covering fermentation tanks and bottling lines. The explanations around sparkling, dry whites, and sweeter reds make the session feel more technical.
Then the experience opens up with Garden tastings at IDR 400,000+ and picnic sets at IDR 500,000 for two. Local pairings like cassava and fruits add a regional touch that actually matches the tropical wine profile.
Also, their SABA experience brings in vodka, grappa, and cocktail making, adding variety in one visit. The use of Muscat Saint Vallier grapes also keeps the wines light and fruit-forward, making the setup feel satisfying.
But know that getting their location takes around 30 minutes from Sanur, which limits flexibility for tighter schedules.
Nice ambiance and wine
“Celebrated my birthday here, and I really enjoyed the experience. Nice ambience, nice wine, it’s truly something different that you can try while you’re in Bali!”

Enjoyable and informative
“I had a wonderful experience at Sababay Winery! The tour was both enjoyable and informative, thanks to the friendly and knowledgeable guides. They also offered samples of their spirits and sangria, which was a nice touch. I especially loved the Black Velvet wine—absolutely amazing!”

2. Hatten Wines Bali
Address: The Cellardoor, Jl. Bypass Ngurah Rai No.393, Sanur Kauh, Denpasar Selatan, Kota Denpasar
Contact Details: +623614721377
Business Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: 9 AM – 8 PM
Hatten Wines Bali is the island’s longest-running winery, founded in 1994 with around 1,000 tonnes of grapes produced yearly. Their Sanur Cellar door runs daily, and walk-ins get access to both Hatten and Two Islands wines.
Tastings start at about IDR 150,000 and cover a full range in one sitting. A typical experience includes sparkling, whites, reds, and a fortified dessert wine, so it feels complete for the price.
However, their setup leans more functional than experiential, with no picnic or themed formats. Because of that, the tasting can feel straightforward and less varied compared to newer spots.
Even so, the vineyard tours add more context with an observation deck and volcanic soil vineyards. Grapes like Muscat St. Vallier and Syrah benefit from a tropical cycle with three harvests each year.
Moreover, sparkling wines follow méthode traditionnelle, while Pinot de Bali uses a solera system with over five years of ageing. That technical depth comes through clearly, and overall, the experience feels solid and reliable.
Very enjoyable experience
“This was probably my favorite part of our Bali trip so far. They offer different wine tasting menu, and we were very happy with the 6 Hatten wines @ 200k. They explained the origins of the grapes, history of their company, different blends and was very knowledgeable about the taste and making of wine. There were also some local cheese and snacks available. Very enjoyable experience.”

Very reasonable price
“They offer wine tasting service at a very reasonable price. We chose their Hatten Wine package which includes 6 different local wines. The taste was good and highly recommended to people who want a local feel. Bought 9 bottles of wine for souvenir”

3. Two Islands Wines
Address: Jl. Bypass Ngurah Rai No.393, Sanur Kauh, Denpasar Selatan, Kota Denpasar
Contact Details: +623614721377
Business Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: 8:30 AM – 8 PM
Two Islands Wines runs on a hybrid concept that uses Australian grapes while producing everything in Bali. Founded in 2007 and led by Barossa winemaker James Kalleske, it brings over 15 years of production experience.
Grapes come from the Barossa Valley and Coonawarra, then are frozen and shipped for vinification. This method preserves acidity and aroma, which shows clearly once the wines are poured.
Tastings happen at the Sanur Cellar Door shared with Hatten, with flights covering Sauvignon Blanc and Shiraz. A standard session costs around IDR 250,000, with reserve options adding oak-aged wines and longer maturation.
Reserve wines go deeper, with Chardonnay using barrel fermentation and Shiraz aged up to 18 months in oak. Sparkling wines follow méthode traditionnelle, with 12 to 24 months ageing for added texture.
Just note that the setup shares space with another spot, so there’s no standalone tasting venue.
The tasting experience was great
“Tasting experience was great. We did the comparison of the Bali grape wines versus the Australian Two Islands blends. Melinda was really helpful in explaining the origin of the wines and the blends.”

4. House of Sababay
Address: Jalan Professor Doktor Ida Bagus Mantra No.333X Keramas, Medahan, Kec. Blahbatuh, Kabupaten Gianyar
Contact Details: +62361949099
Business Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: 9:30 AM – 5:30 PM
House of Sababay runs as the experience arm of Sababay Winery, operating in Gianyar near the production facility. It opened to the public around 2018 and focuses on structured tastings rather than simple bar-style pours.
The Tour & Taste starts at about IDR 180,000+ and runs for roughly 1 to 1.5 hours. It includes a guided production walkthrough and three to four wines made from locally grown Balinese grapes.
One drawback here is that the location requires extra planning, as it is in East Bali, around 30 minutes or more from the main tourist areas.
Nevertheless, detailed formats include the Tour & Dine at IDR 495,000+ with four wines and a paired meal. There are also garden and picnic setups with fruits and sandwiches, which add variety to the tasting structure.
Of course, their SABA experience expands things further with vodka and cocktail making. The setup feels organised and varied enough to keep the tasting structured without becoming repetitive.
Staff were super friendly
“An amazing experience at Sababay Winery, Gianyar! The staff were super friendly and professional, the place was cozy and welcoming, and the wine tasting offered a great variety of delicious wines. Truly unforgettable and highly recommended! 🍷🙌”

The guide is the best

5. Cantine Balita (Isola Wines)
Address: Tajun, Kubutambahan, Buleleng Regency
Contact Details: +628113970051
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 10 AM – 5 PM
Cantine Balita was founded in 2012, with its first release in 2014. Production stays small-scale, with vineyards based in Buleleng using fully local grape sourcing.
Tastings are not walk-in and are usually arranged through private sessions or partner venues. A typical flight includes Bianco and Rosso, with sweet options like Moscato Dolce added in some sessions.
The wines follow an Italian-style structure, with cleaner profiles and less residual sugar than most Bali wines. Techniques include organic inputs, controlled fermentation, and the use of Italian Della Toffola equipment.
A more technical option comes from the RAW series, which uses no filtration and no added sulphites. Some reds go through about nine months in the tank and five months in the bottle, giving more structure and spice.
On the flip side, there is no fixed public tasting venue, so access depends on booking or curated events. This limits spontaneity and makes it harder to include in a casual Bali itinerary.
Had such a nice experience
“We just showed up without any appointment necessary and had a small tasting. Had such a nice experience and we really like the idea behind Balita (they are to only ones really taking grapes grown in Bali) and their wines. Ordered a few ones and we would like to thank you very much for your hospitality and kindness. Absolutely recommended.”
- Karl Reichert, Google Review
They have a great view
“Fantastic people! We drove by and decided to stop by for a tour, but they only have tours in groups, but they didn’t say no and one of the owners gave a little tour of the production and told us how their company was formed, how they grow grapes and make their wines. The wines turned out to be delicious. I suggest stopping by for a sunset wine tasting, they have a great view and with wine it would be a great ending to the evening.”
