Full description
The Sunset Farm Tour
At 4:00 PM, our driver picks you up from central Ubud and brings you to our family-owned organic farm in Taro Village. We welcome you with Balinese coffee or herbal tea. At 5:00 PM, you and your partner take a private walk through our gardens. You harvest fresh vegetables and spices directly from the soil to use for your dinner.
Cook, Laugh, and Learn Together
At 6:00 PM, you step into our open-air kitchen. You share a private cooking station with your partner. Our English-speaking chefs teach you how to make traditional Balinese food step-by-step in a relaxed, fun environment. You start by grinding fresh turmeric and galangal in a stone mortar to make Base Gede (traditional spice paste). You cook your appetizers, main courses, and dessert side-by-side.
Private Candlelit Farm Dinner
We use a “cook-eat-cook-eat” schedule so you can enjoy your appetizers hot right from the wok. After you finish cooking your main courses, we set up a private, candlelit dining table for you in our open-air pavilion. You enjoy your romantic dinner together while listening to the quiet sounds of the evening farm, before our shuttle returns you safely to central Ubud at 9:00 PM.

Date Night Menu
Cook & Eat Together
In this class, you and your partner will learn to make 6 different dishes plus 1 foundational curry paste. We use a staggered schedule, so you take breaks to sit down and eat your food while it is fresh and hot.
1. The Appetizers & First Break
- We start with fresh vegetables harvested from the garden to make either Gado-Gado (salad with peanut sauce) or Sayur Urab (mixed veggies with Sambal Mbe). You control the chili level! Next, you cook sweet and sour tempeh (Tempe Manis). Once these are done, you sit down at your table to enjoy your first two creations together.
2. The Balinese Spice Paste
- Back at your cooking station, you learn to grind fresh turmeric, galangal, and spices in a traditional stone mortar to create Bumbu Bali (the foundational spice paste we will use for your main dishes).
3. The Main Courses (Choose Your Diet)
- You will cook three main dishes side-by-side. We customize the ingredients based on your dietary preference:
- The Regular Menu: Balinese Chicken Curry, Chicken Satay Lilit (minced meat skewers), and Chicken with Sambal Matah (raw lemongrass and shallot dressing).
- The Vegan/Vegetarian Menu: Balinese Vegan Curry, Vegan Satay Lilit, and Crispy Corn Fritters (Perkedel Jagung).
4. Dessert & Your Candlelit Dinner
- You finish the cooking session by making Dadar Gulung (sweet pandan crepes filled with coconut and palm sugar). After the woks are turned off, we serve your main courses and dessert at your private, candlelit table in our open-air pavilion. Take your time enjoying your Balinese feast before our shuttle takes you back to Ubud at 9:00 PM.
