A journey is not complete without tasting its local flavors. North Bali, with its unique climate and history, offers a culinary and agrotourism experience that is very different from other parts of the island.

For food lovers and connoisseurs of local products, Buleleng is a hidden paradise.

1. Agrotourism at the Vineyard (Hatten Wines Vineyard)

Who would have thought Bali has vineyards? Due to its drier climate, the northern coast is home to local grape plantations. Visit the vineyard owned by Hatten Wines near Seririt to see firsthand how grapes can thrive in tropical soil. This is a truly unique agrotourism experience.

2. Munduk Coffee Plantations

The cool highlands of Munduk are one of the best coffee-producing regions in Bali. Visit one of the many local plantations to learn about the process from bean to cup. Taste fresh Robusta and Arabica coffee with a stunning view of the green valley.

3. Hunt for Legendary Cuisine at Pasar Anyar, Singaraja

To feel the culinary pulse of Buleleng, come to this market in the evening. This is where you can find legendary dishes rarely found elsewhere:

• Siobak Babi Khe Lok: An iconic Singaraja dish originating from Chinese traditions, containing various parts of a pig cooked in a distinctive thick fermented soybean sauce.
• Sudang Lepet: Small, salted fish fried until crispy and served with chili sauce. Simple but incredibly delicious.

4. Tasting Buleleng’s Signature Fruits

Buleleng is famous for some of its produce. Don’t miss the chance to taste the sweet Jeruk Keprok (local mandarin oranges) and Mangga Buleleng (Buleleng mangoes) when in season. You can also buy the famous Dodol Buleleng (a sweet, sticky toffee-like delicacy) as a souvenir.

A culinary journey in North Bali is about discovering flavors that are honest, authentic, and deeply rooted in its land and history. Enjoy!
