Bali is an island where the hospitality industry has been thriving for decades and where the wine industry has been booming, with the high demands of tourism.  Over the years, wines have been introduced in Bali, yet service professionals have had little place to improve their skills and knowledge of wines in general.  The creation of The Indonesia Sommelier Association – ISA, Bali Chapter, encourages Bali’s Food and Beverage & Hospitality Industry professionals to learn about wines and become professional sommeliers.

The Island of Gods, Bali finally saw the inauguration of the Indonesia Sommelier Association Bali Chapter at Aston Beach Resort and Spa Nusa Dua on November 12th, 2012, established almost 10 years ISA Bali Chapter reached the number of 110 members and has won a couple of National Competition.

The ISA Bali Chapter has a wine classroom donated by Hatten Wines, located in the heart of Sanur, where amateur and professional wine appreciation and training are dispensed.
