BALINEWS.ID – Bali’s fine dining scene shines on the global stage as Arya Dharmayasa, Bar Manager of Michelin chef-led Syrco BASÈ Ubud, has been crowned Indonesia Regional Winner of #HennessyMyWay 2025. Arya is set to represent Indonesia at the Global Finals in France later this year, bringing his innovative and sustainable mixology philosophy to the world.
The competition, #HennessyMyWay, challenges bartenders to craft cocktails that blend artistry with sustainability. Arya’s winning creation, “Rethink with Hennessy”, reflects his commitment to conscious mixology, using locally sourced ingredients and eco-friendly techniques to honor both tradition and nature. More than a drink, it’s a statement: every pour carries a story of responsibility, heritage, and environmental awareness.
At Syrco BASÈ, where gastronomy meets sustainability, Arya’s work aligns perfectly with the restaurant’s ethos of Traceability, Nature, and Transparency (TNT). His approach encourages mindful living and celebrates the delicate balance between Bali’s rapid modernization and cultural preservation.
Chef Syrco Bakker, founder of Syrco BASÈ, praised Arya’s achievement, “His dedication, creativity, and conscious approach reflect the spirit of what we stand for at Syrco BASÈ. It is inspiring to see our team bring their values and talent to the world stage.”
Arya’s journey is a testament not only to his personal talent but also to the inspiring environment Syrco BASÈ fosters, where culinary craftsmanship, creativity, and sustainability converge. On October 27, 2025, Arya will compete in France, aiming to showcase Indonesia’s visionary bar culture to a global audience.
