Description
  • Meet your local guide and group of just 20 guests maximum in central Venice to board your private boat. As you’re motoring out through the lagoon, your guide will point out places of interest and give you a brief introduction to the history of island settlement in Venice.  Your first stop is Murano, home of Europe’s most respected glassmakers since the 13th century. See this cherished tradition come to life at an exclusive glassmaking demonstration inside a glass factory. You’ll have some free time to explore Murano at your own pace following the demonstration.
  • Finally, you'll head to Burano Island, whose brightly colored houses you may recognize from photos. You'll explore the island on a guided walking tour as you discover the picture-perfect canals and squares. What you might not know is that they’ve been the home of Venice’s legendary lacemakers since the 16th century. After your guided walking tour, you’ll have the option to visit a traditional lacemaking workshop, enjoy some free time, or explore the Museo del Merletto (Lace Museum)—or even do a combination of all three. Located in the historic palace of the Podestà of Torcello, the museum features rare examples of Venetian lace dating from the 16th to the 20th century, offering a deeper look into the delicate art of lacemaking that has helped define Burano’s cultural identity. Please note: The Lace Museum is closed on Mondays. On these days, you will have the chance to attend a lace-making demonstration and see the showroom.
  • And finally, return to Venice with your guide aboard the private boat, or stay a little longer and go back to the city on your own via public transport (your guide will tell you everything you need to know).

Description
  • Meet your local guide and small group of just 20 guests maximum in central Venice to board your private boat. As you’re motoring out through the lagoon, your guide will point out places of interest and give you a brief introduction to the history of island settlement in Venice. 
  •   
  • Your first stop on Burano Island is a vineyard producing one of Venice’s best-kept secrets: Venissa wine. Learn about how the Dorona grape was saved from extinction and replanted to produce one of the world’s rarest and most unique wines. Of course, a private tasting is included—in the Michelin Star restaurant’s gorgeous tasting space, no less. You'll sip a glass of their award-winning white wine served alongside a selection of homemade baked snacks.
  • Then you'll explore the rest of the island of Burano, whose brightly colored houses you may recognize from photos. What you might not know is that they’ve been the home of Venice’s legendary lacemakers since the 16th century. After a guided tour around the island’s picture-perfect canals and squares, you’ll have the option to visit a lacemaking workshop with your guide or explore on your own. 
  •   
  • Finally, you’ll head to Murano, home of Europe’s most respected glassmakers since the 13th century. See this cherished tradition come to life at an exclusive glassmaking demonstration inside an abandoned medieval church once visited by Casanova and Venetian nobles. You’ll have some free time to explore Murano at your own pace following the demonstration. Head back to Venice with your guide aboard the private boat, or stay a little longer and go back to the city on your own via public transport (your guide will tell you everything you need to know).
