Embark on an authentic culinary and cultural journey in rural Ubud, combining vibrant local market exploration, traditional home architecture, and a hands-on cooking class with a local resident host.

Your morning begins with a convenient hotel pick-up followed by a guided tour of a traditional Balinese spice market. Here, you will walk through vibrant stalls to see, smell, and learn about essential spices, herbs, and fresh ingredients that give Balinese cuisine its unique aroma and flavor profile.

Next, you will arrive at an authentic Balinese family home—the exact location where your cooking session takes place. Before heading to the kitchen, enjoy a guided compound tour led by the family host. You will learn about traditional Balinese house layout, architectural philosophy (Nawa Sanga), and daily home life.

Following the compound walk, join your host for a 1.5 to 2-hour hands-on cooking class. Guided step-by-step by the resident chef, you will learn how to grind traditional spice pastes (bumbu Bali) and craft authentic local dishes (available as a Private or Sharing class based on your preference). Conclude your experience by sitting down together within the peaceful home compound to feast on the fresh, delicious meal you prepared yourself before a comfortable return transfer to your hotel.
