Heritance Hotels & Resorts has launched ‘A Week Worth Tasting’, a new limited culinary and cultural series created in collaboration with Sri Lankan-born chef Savindri Perera, popularly known as Sav.
Designed as a destination-led culinary journey, the series explores Sri Lanka through food, people and place, taking viewers across three distinct regions — Kandalama, Kandapola and the southern coast — to discover the ingredients, traditions, communities and landscapes that shape the island’s rich culinary identity.
Facilitated by Heritance Hotels & Resorts, the experience brings together the natural and cultural heritage surrounding Heritance Kandalama, Heritance Tea Factory and Heritance Ayurveda. Each property serves as a gateway to its surrounding region, connecting Sav with local farmers, fishermen, tea communities, village kitchens, markets, Ayurvedic traditions and Heritance chefs.
Rather than focusing solely on food, ‘A Week Worth Tasting’ explores the stories and traditions behind what reaches the plate. Sav’s journey highlights how Sri Lanka’s geography, climate, culture and communities influence its diverse culinary heritage.
Sav Perera brings a personal connection to the experience. A Sri Lankan-born chef based in Adelaide, she rose to prominence as a Top 3 finalist on MasterChef Australia and has become known for showcasing Sri Lankan cuisine to international audiences. Her cooking draws heavily on heritage, memories and the distinctive flavours of Sri Lanka.
The first chapter of the journey takes place at Heritance Kandalama, where Geoffrey Bawa’s architectural vision, local farms, lake communities, village cooking and traditional firewood techniques provide an insight into the close relationship between the land and local cuisine.
The journey then moves to Heritance Tea Factory, where the mist-covered highlands of Kandapola influence both the landscape and flavours of the region. Tea takes centre stage not simply as an agricultural product, but as an important part of the area’s history, livelihoods and culinary culture.
