In the afternoon, board an iconic Riva motorboat and glide toward Murano, where you are welcomed inside a historic glass furnace for a private aperitif. In this intimate setting, a Master Glass Blower demonstrates the centuries-old techniques that made Murano world-famous, offering a rare encounter with one of Venice’s most treasured artistic traditions.
The journey continues with dinner at Venissa, surrounded by the vineyards of the lagoon - a distinctive culinary experience rooted in local heritage - before returning to your five-star hotel in Venice for an overnight stay.
The second day opens with a Hidden Venice walking experience, guiding you through lesser-known districts where quiet courtyards, local traditions, and authentic stories reveal the city beyond its postcard image. As evening approaches, Venice grants you rare after-hours access behind closed doors. Choose between a private visit to St. Mark’s Basilica, experiencing its golden mosaics in near silence, or an exclusive visit to the Doge’s Palace, where art and history shaped the Venetian Republic. With the crowds gone, these landmarks transform into deeply personal cultural encounters.
