Bali-Hatten-Wines-Wins-4-Golds Bali is known for many things – its temples, great food, stunning holiday Bali villas, nightlife, and its wineries. Hatten Wines is proud to have yet another international achievement under their belts taking home 4 gold medals and 1 silver at the China Wine and Spirits Awards 2013, which were held in Hong Kong.

According to a recent news article, this is the largest and the most prestigious event of its kind in China and so for Hatten Wines this must be a very big deal.

Hatten Wines is the first and only Balinese winery that is located in the heart of Sanur. It has been in business since 1994 bringing their delicious wines to restaurants, bars, and hotels. This is a family owned winery, which makes this win that much more special. It is owned by the Dewi Sri company, the makers of Arak Bali and Brem Bali.

For locals this might not be too big of a surprise. After all, they are familiar with this tasty wine. Hatten Wines isn’t new to awards as they have taken several in the past years. But in this event there were 5,375 wines from 35 countries that were tasted and put to the test by the 100 judges. So to take a gold in that kind of competition should be a proud moment. To take 4 golds and 1 silver should puff you up like never before. Moreover, for wine drinkers you should certainly take note that this is a wine worth trying.

rooftop-bar Part of the experience of visiting Bali is to enjoy the amazing Bali nightlife it has to offer, and there is no question in my mind that you won’t be disappointed. If there’s one thing Bali knows how to do it’s how to party, and regardless of where you are staying in Bali you are sure to find some great night entertainment.

Bali has a rather unique form of nightlife that you are going to want to check out. Of course, you can also experience it during the day, but at night it really is that much better. Bali offers many rooftop bars that provide you with spectacular views of the city you are staying in.

For example, there is the Salsa Bar at the Hyatt Hotel Bali or the Sky Bar at the Mulia Bali. How close you are to one of these fun and entertaining rooftop bars will depend a great deal on where you are staying. That’s an entirely different conversation considering the number of affordable villas that have come to market. What a great form of accommodation for anyone who really wants to experience all of what Bali has to offer.

ust take a look at these figures: By GDP, Indonesia is the world’s 16th-largest economy. While the rest of the world is still sweating out the global economic malaise, Indonesia is projected to grow by nearly 7% in 2013, according to the World Bank estimate. Indonesia has recently become a member of the G20, and “Foreign Policy” magazine lists 6 Indonesian leaders among its list of “world’s 500 most powerful people.”

Kintamani is about a 2-hour drive from Denpasar, and it is really one of the best-kept secrets in Bali. If you do not know what Kintamani has to offer, it is time you did.

Kintamani offers some magnificent scenery and with temperatures reaching around 18 degrees Celsius this is a great place to relax, re-energize, and de-stress. You can enjoy some of the finest dining here while enjoying views of places like Lake Batur or Mount Batur.

While you are staying in Kintamani, be sure to head on over to the village of Trunyan where you can learn all about what life has to offer here and where the ancestors are still honored. You can see how the corpses of ancestors were simply placed on the ground – a very strange sight to see. Walk the trail, which takes about 45 minutes, and discover the cultural heritage.
