On October 28, 2026, the Valdobbiadene winery will curate the wine experience for THE GALLERY event at DESCHEVALIERS, the fine dining restaurant of Hotel de Bonart Naples, Curio Collection by Hilton
July 30, 2026 (Col San Martino, Italy) — Follador will be the official wine sponsor of the vernissage celebrating the exhibition of Heinz Schattner, taking place on October 28, 2026, at DESCHEVALIERS, the fine dining restaurant hosting THE GALLERY, an initiative developed by Finarte and Caracciolo Hospitality Group within Hotel de Bonart Naples, Curio Collection by Hilton.
The evening will showcase the work of Heinz Schattner, the German photographer and visual artist who has long been based in Italy. His artistic research spans international fashion photography while embracing a more personal visual language, where reality and dreamlike imagery merge into photographs of remarkable expressive intensity.
“Being part of a project that brings together art, hospitality and local identity allows us to share beyond Valdobbiadene the same dedication we apply every day in our vineyards and winery,” says Cristina Follador. “Our Prosecco Superiore DOCG is the result of daily work carried out on the Rive of our territory, and every opportunity to present it within a setting of excellence, such as the one created by Caracciolo Hospitality Group and Finarte, reflects our vision of authentic hospitality.”
Reserved for invited guests, the vernissage marks the opening of the fourth and final exhibition of Finarte and Caracciolo Hospitality Group’s 2026 cultural programme, which throughout the year has transformed the group’s hotels into spaces where contemporary art, hospitality and local culture meet.
Within this context, Follador brings to Naples the identity of a winery whose roots date back to 1769, in the heart of the Valdobbiadene wine region, now recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The event will be hosted at Hotel de Bonart Naples, Curio Collection by Hilton, further strengthening its role as a destination where hospitality, culture and beauty converge. At the same time, Finarte continues to develop THE GALLERY, a cross-disciplinary project and digital gallery that extends the exhibition experience beyond the physical venue, allowing artworks to be purchased online and opening new opportunities for collectors.
Follador’s participation in Schattner’s vernissage is part of a broader journey the winery has pursued over the years: pairing its wines with cultural initiatives that express a shared commitment to quality, both in winemaking and in the experiences offered to guests. Here, wine becomes more than a convivial accompaniment—it becomes an integral part of a project that celebrates hospitality, fine dining and culture, values that have always inspired Follador’s philosophy.
