Discover a quieter, more authentic side of Venice on a small-group lagoon excursion by private boat to Murano, Burano, and St. Erasmo. Travel with a local guide and a maximum of 20 guests as the journey begins across the Venetian Lagoon, offering insight into the history of island settlement and the unique culture that defines this iconic region. The experience provides a welcome escape from central Venice’s crowds while showcasing the artistry, traditions, and landscapes of its surrounding islands.

The first stop is Murano, world-famous for its glassmaking heritage since the 13th century, where a live glassblowing demonstration reveals this centuries-old craft in action. Continue to Burano, known for its vibrant, colorful houses and historic lace-making tradition, with time to explore its canals, shops, and charming streets. The final stop is St. Erasmo Island, Venice’s agricultural heart, where a guided vineyard walk leads to a historic winery once favored by Venetian nobility. The experience concludes with a tasting that reflects the island’s unique terroir before returning to Venice by private boat.
