Food takes centre stage on the second day with a harvest-inspired dinner at Kirana Restaurant, where acclaimed Indonesian culinary expert Chef Petty Elliott collaborates with Chef Agus to present a menu rooted in local ingredients and regional traditions. Known for her extensive work documenting Indonesia’s culinary heritage through publications including The Indonesian Table and The Indonesian Vegetarian Table, Chef Petty brings a thoughtful perspective that celebrates the relationship between food, culture, and community.

The final day reflects Anantara Ubud’s commitment to preserving Bali’s natural heritage through Bali Starling Release II, a conservation initiative supporting one of the island’s rarest endemic bird species. Guests are then invited to continue their cultural journey with the Harvest to Table Masterclass, where Chef Petty shares practical techniques, seasonal ingredients, and the stories behind Indonesia’s remarkably diverse culinary traditions in an engaging hands-on session.

More than a collection of activities, Wings & Roots of Payangan reflects a growing desire among modern travellers to experience destinations more meaningfully. By weaving together conservation, local knowledge, and authentic gastronomy, Anantara Ubud offers guests an opportunity to leave with more than photographs—they leave with a deeper understanding of the landscapes, flavours, and cultural traditions that continue to define Bali today.
