Wine is culture – and enjoying it is pure pleasure! You can experience this on one of our guided tours of Kellerei Bozen – a place where contemporary architecture merges seamlessly with centuries-old winemaking tradition.
Follow the journey of our wines, from the arrival of the freshly harvested grapes to their gentle processing and maturation in stainless steel and oak barriques. Along the way, you’ll hear stories about our winegrowers, whose skill and dedication in the vineyards lay the foundation for our wines. You’ll step behind doors normally closed to visitors and see how artisan knowledge, technology and passion come together in perfect harmony.
Your tour ends with a tasting of selected wines – from fresh, aromatic whites with delicate minerality to full-bodied, characterful reds from our finest vineyards.
An experience that begins in the glass and remains in the memory.

It Takes Two – Video Works from the Dalle Nogare Collection: Frank Hesse – 05.12.2025
On Friday, December 5, the Antonio Dalle Nogare Foundation presents the second edition of It Takes Two, a series of video works from the private collection of Antonio Dalle Nogare, curated by Eva Brioschi.
Opening: December 5 at 7:00 PM
The title is an ironic reminder that the realization of an artwork requires not only the work of the artist but also that of the viewer. It is the viewer who completes the creative journey initiated by the artist through their own perception. In the darkness of a video room, the relationship between artist and viewer becomes even closer: like in a confessional of the mind, one surrenders to the images, loses the sense of space and time, and embraces the possibility of a multisensory transmission and an unexpected epiphany.
At each opening evening, the Foundation’s Artistic Director, Eva Brioschi, offers a moment of in-depth analysis and participatory reading of the exhibited work, in dialogue with the artist and with professionals from the art world.
The second event of It Takes Two is dedicated to Frank Hesse, an artist, designer, and yoga teacher based in Zurich, who presents a video filmed in 2006: Florence: From St. Croce to the Institute of Art History.
Following the screening, Frank Hesse will engage in a dialogue with Eva Brioschi and Nasim Weiler, project manager at Stadtkuratorin Hamburg, whose research focuses on conceptual art and performative practices, to explore the themes and processes at the foundation of this video work.

Lukas Lobis (BZ): “verwirrt”
Director: Robert Palfrader
Actor and cabaret artist Lukas Lobis returns to Carambolage with his successful show “verwirrt.”
Through an ironic and entertaining journey, Lobis tries to untangle the confusion that grips him, encountering quirky characters and ending up in awkward situations. His path leads him to rediscover his Tyrolean roots — with a surprising conclusion.
Event: Tuesday, December 9, 2025, at the Piccolo Teatro Carambolage, starting at 8:00 PM.
Peppi und die Haislraggler (BZ): “Verstopfte Weihnacht – Besinnliches Toilettenreinigen mit Peppi und die Haislraggler”
Moritz Thuile: bass
Markus Cappello: sax
Martin Malfertheiner: cajon
Felix Senoner: guitar
Magdalena Oberstaller: violin
Tobias Kompatscher: guitar, vocals
The musical repertoire of the band Peppi und die Haislraggler – creators and so far the only representatives of the Toilet-Pop genre – consists mainly of original compositions. Their distinctive feature is the tension between ironic lyrics in dialect and a wide variety of musical styles.
Even the band’s name is telling: they firmly claim to work full-time in sanitary maintenance and took up instruments only out of financial necessity – a side hustle to cover expensive Christmas shopping. Whether there’s any truth to that story remains a mystery…
Event: Wednesday, December 10, 2025, at the Piccolo Teatro Carambolage, starting at 8:00 PM.

The sixteenth edition of the festival “Corpi Eretici 2025/26”, curated by Teatro la Ribalta – Kunst der Vielfalt, opens with the premiere of “Pinocchio nel ventre della balena”, directed by Paolo Grossi, a fairy tale that recalls the adventures and misadventures of Pinocchio and his father Mastro Geppetto. Next comes “Vorrei una voce”, in which Tindaro Granata, through the voice of Mina, brings to the stage the stories and experiences of women imprisoned in Messina.
With “Re Lear è morto a Mosca”, directed by César Brie, eight young actors retrace the careers of Solomon Michoels and Venjamin Zuskin, executed by the Stalinist regime because of their art. In “Vizita”, Davide Iodice reflects on intolerance toward the foreigner, inspired by H.G. Wells.
Kicking off 2026 is the debut of “Studi Teatrali de La Tempesta”, directed by Antonio Viganò, a new creation born during the artistic residency with Teatro Cristallo.
In February: “C’è urgenza d’azzurro”, poems by Vasco Mirandola with music by Sergio Marchesini, and “Quando gli dei erano tanti”, in which Marco Baliani tells the story of Calasso.
In March, “Edipo Re”, directed by Stefano Tè and performed by inmates from the Castelfranco Emilia Prison, stages the story of the city of Thebes and Oedipus' desperate attempt to save it.
In April, “Un attimo prima”, a poetic experience by Gabriella Salvaterra, will lead small groups of spectators through an intimate, sensory journey inside a labyrinth of memories, immersing them courageously in the theme of symbolic rupture and healing.
In May, “La parola femminista” by Vanessa Roghi and the Writing Workshop of Experience with Lea Melandri close the program with a reflection on feminist culture.
