Bella Cucina at InterContinental Bali Resort presents an exclusive culinary affair: a one of-a-kind dining experience featuring Bangkok’s rising star, Chef Sasha Phoomcharoen, in collaboration with Italy’s esteemed Barbanera Winery. This special two-night event will take place on 11 and 12 July 2025.

Guests will indulge in a meticulously curated five-course set menu, where the timeless traditions of Italian cuisine are reimagined through refined Asian influences, offering a sophisticated fusion that embodies the essence of East meets West. Highlights include Gambero Rosso Crudo with Sicilian red shrimp and Italian caviar, Polpetta Bianca with ricotta and peppery consommé, Pesce in Scatola, and Tiramisù della Nonna, a fourth-generation family recipe, awarded Best Classic Tiramisu 2024. Each dish will be expertly paired with exceptional wines from Barbanera, transforming the evening into a celebration of flavor, culture and culinary artistry.

Founded in 1938 in the scenic Valdichiana region of Tuscany, Barbanera is a family-owned winery renowned for
its unique balance of tradition and innovation. Under the leadership of brothers Marco and Paolo Barbanera, the winery produces a diverse portfolio of premium wines from Tuscany and other distinguished Italian regions
including Puglia, Sicily, Umbria, and Abruzzo.

With a modern, versatile bottling facility and a strong international presence, Barbanera offers both signature collections and custom wine lines, always upholding the highest standards of quality, craftsmanship, and precision. Its flagship label, Toscana Rosso “Vecciano”, was named Overall Best Italian Wine by Luca Maroni in 2022, a distinction it has received multiple times since 2016. Barbanera has also been honored as Best Producer for quality and consistency in 2018, 2020, 2021, and 2022. The winery remains a proud symbol of heritage, excellence, and global partnership.

Chef Sasha, acclaimed Chef/Owner of HYBRID Restaurant in Bangkok, began her culinary journey in her mother’s kitchen in Thailand before refining her craft at the Italian Chef Academy in Rome, graduating top of her class. Over the past decade, she has immersed herself in Italy’s culinary traditions, working in private homes and
training under renowned chefs. Her path led to a prestigious post at La Pergola, Rome’s only three Michelinstarred restaurant, under the mentorship of Chef Heinz Beck.

The award-winning Bella Cucina offers an elevated Mediterranean dining experience, led by Chef de Cuisine Boris Linton and his accomplished team. Known for his inventive flavor pairings and meticulous attention to detail, Chef Boris brings each dish to life using the finest seasonal Italian ingredients.

Taking its name from the Italian phrase for “Beautiful Kitchen,” Bella Cucina offers a refined yet welcoming atmosphere. A guest favorite is its Signature Sunday Brunch, a lavish Mediterranean buffet complemented by à la carte selections, premium wines or champagne, and the soothing sounds of a live band.
