Bali Wine + Temple Circuit

Combine wine tasting with Bali temple visits. Start at Tirta Empul for spiritual purification, drive through the Jatiluwih UNESCO rice terraces, end at the Hatten vineyard. This is wine culture meeting Hindu culture. Indonesia is 87% Muslim but Bali is 83% Hindu - one of the only places in Asia where both temples and wineries thrive together.

Insider tips

• Hire a private driver - they understand the cultural context

• Dress appropriately for temples (sarong and sash required)

• The rice terraces and vineyard are both volcanic soil - same terroir, different crops

• Ask your driver about arak (Balinese rice spirit) - Hatten founder started with that
