Burano - The Island of colors
With a very different feel and far fewer crowds than Venice, Burano makes a great day trip from La Serenissima. Here, on the rainbow-colored island, the colors of the houses are nothing more than the reflection of the people, all with their own unique personalities and stories. There is perhaps no other place in the world where so much natural beauty and the rhythms of daily life come together with such perfection. Burano's brightly colored houses line its boat-filled canals. The tradition of painting houses in this manner is said to relate to the island's heritage as a fishing village—the bright colors made it easier for returning fishermen to find their homes in the thick fog of the lagoon. It is also said that the Burano residents favor the bright paint as a well of marking where one property ends and another begins.
The Walled Wineyard
This wine resort is located in a small island in the northern Venetian lagoon, a world away from the crowds of St Mark's. Enjoy a wine tasting in a vineyard that has withstood the salt and high flood waters for centuries, giving life to a wine with one-of-a-kind characteristics found nowhere else in the world. The wine is produced accordingly to the winemaking practices employed by monks ages ago. This involves natural yeasts, no temperature controls and some maceration to replicate the wine that used to be made in the lagoon area and has been documented since 1200. After the visit of the wineryard and the wine tasting of one of its worlwine renowned wine you will enjoy an extraordinary lunch in the boutique restaurant. The fish and seafood are of the highest quality, combined with fantastic seasonal vegetables that are mostly grown in the property’s organic garden, or on farms on nearby Sant'Erasmo island.
Murano -The Island of glass
After lunch will hop on our boat and in a a shot time you will arrive on the lovely island of Murano Island. Known worldwide for its beautiful Murano glass, this small island is the place to see firsthand how this art is still done today. Murano is a cluster of 8 small islands linked by bridges crossing the canals separating them. In 1291, Venice required all glassmakers to relocate to Murano because of the risk of fire to the city. The island thus became famous around the world as a center for masterful glassmaking of fine glass beads, mirrors, chandeliers, and other luxury creations. Today Murano is the Venice's glassmaking center in the 13th Century. During your visit you will have the chance to see a famous Glass artisan at work in his majestic factory and to visit the amazing showroom.
