Into the Wild is a groundbreaking platform bringing together world-class chefs and bartenders from across Asia Pacific to Bali for a creative basecamp event.
For the first time ever in 2026, we are launching Into the Wild: Liquid Basecamp – a sister event to the annual Culinary Basecamp.
Comprising unique dinners, mixology workshops, pop-up activities, challenges, symposiums and podcasts, Into the Wild is a gathering where community leaders share ideas on sustainable and creative culinary and mixology craft.
It is an innovative, high-impact platform built for collaboration and engagement.
