Traditional Arak Production in Les Village, Tejakula offers visitors an extraordinary opportunity to explore one of Bali’s oldest and most cherished traditions. Arak Bali is a traditional distilled beverage made from natural ingredients such as coconut sap or rice. For centuries, it has played an important role in Balinese daily life and ceremonies, symbolizing togetherness, offering, and celebration.

In Les Village, the making of arak is more than just a craft — it is a living heritage. Local artisans continue to produce arak using age-old techniques of manual fermentation and distillation, passed down through generations. The process remains simple yet meaningful: sap or rice is carefully fermented, distilled using traditional tools, and transformed into a spirit with a distinctive aroma and flavor that cannot be replicated by modern methods.

By preserving this craft, the people of Les not only maintain a valuable cultural identity but also strengthen the economic resilience of the village.

Through guided visits, travelers are invited to witness the entire process firsthand — from the preparation of raw ingredients, to fermentation and distillation, while hearing fascinating stories directly from the arak makers. This immersive experience allows visitors to understand the artistry, symbolism, and cultural value behind every drop of arak.
