On September 18, 2026, Bejana by Petty Elliott at The Ritz-Carlton, Bali will bring together two distinctly Indonesian expressions of place for a Sababay Wine Dinner in Nusa Dua. Chef Petty Elliott’s contemporary interpretation of Indonesian cuisine will be paired with wines from Sababay Winery, whose bottles are made in Bali using grapes grown by local farmers in the island’s northern regions.

The evening moves through a menu rooted in the flavors of the archipelago, from sambal teri kacang, tempeh bacam and quail eggs in sambal balado to a coconut and moringa soup, rendang, fish sate lilit and ayam kecap. The pairing continues through dessert, where a pandan and coconut klepon soufflé meets Moscato de Bali. Priced at IDR 1,300,000++ per person, including wine pairings, the dinner offers a particularly intimate way to explore how Indonesia’s culinary traditions and emerging wine culture can meet at the same table.

The Curated Take

For travelers who believe the best way to understand a destination is through its table, this is an appealing Bali experience. Bejana brings together regional recipes and ingredients from across Indonesia, while Sababay offers a taste of the island’s increasingly distinctive winemaking story. Together, they turn a wine dinner into something more meaningful: a portrait of Indonesia told through flavor, farming and local craftsmanship.
