Our Story
Born from a love for Balinese culture and a passion for authentic connection
Rooted in Tradition
Bali Taste was founded by a collective of local chefs and cultural guides who saw tourism moving further from the authentic experiences that make Bali truly special. We wanted to create something different—tours that feel less like attractions and more like invitations.
Every experience we offer is designed in partnership with local communities, ensuring that the knowledge shared is genuine, the food is prepared with care, and the stories told come from those who live them daily.
We believe food is a language, and through it, travelers can have conversations with culture, history, and the land itself. Our mission is to facilitate these connections with respect, warmth, and authenticity.
Our Values
The principles that guide every experience we create
Authenticity First
We never fabricate or exaggerate. Every location, recipe, and story shared is genuine and vetted by our local team. What you experience with us is what locals experience themselves.
Community Partnership
Tourism should benefit those who open their homes and share their knowledge. We work directly with chefs, market vendors, and families to ensure fair compensation and meaningful cultural exchange.
Sustainable Practice
Small groups, locally sourced ingredients, and low-impact routes are intentional choices. We want to preserve the culture and environment that make these experiences possible for generations to come.
Meet Our Guides
Our team consists of experienced Balinese chefs, cultural educators, and hospitality professionals who grew up immersed in the culinary traditions we share. Each guide brings their own family recipes, personal stories, and deep knowledge of local ingredients.
They're not just tour leaders—they're storytellers, teachers, and ambassadors for their culture. When you join us, you're welcomed into their world with the same warmth they'd show a friend.
Many of our guides have been with us since the beginning, and their passion for sharing Balinese food culture is the heart of what makes Bali Taste special.
