Sababay Winery
Sababay hosts wine production tours, events, and workshops at their wine garden on the East Coast of Bali. It is a beautiful spot with a wine shop selling red and white wine, including Reserve series, sangria, and sparkling.

They use Bali-grown Alphonse Lavallée grape variety, Muscats, Malvasia Nera, and Syrah, to make white, red, and rose wines, as well as some sparkling bottles.
You will be able to buy Hatten Wines in most of the bottle shops and big supermarkets, but the main shop to go is The Cellardoor. It is one of the few professional cellars in Bali with wine tasting, courses, and event space.
