Just a short distance from Burano you can find a beautiful haven of taste: the small island of Mazzorbo, one of the best destinations around Venice to end the day on a high note. There’s no need to take a boat, you can simply access this island by crossing a bridge.

Here you will find Venissa, another enchanted venue: a walled Vineyard recently restored by a Venetian entrepreneur. Venissa is renowned for the cultivation of the ‘Dorona’ grape, which is used to produce one of the Lagoon’s few wines. It was here that Gianluca Bisol, an enlightened entrepreneur, decided to create a winery, a tavern and a restaurant.

Headed by chef Francesco Brutto, the winner of numerous awards, this unique venue is the proud recipient of a Michelin star. Its kitchen brigade was recently joined by Anna Cardin, the winner of the best Sommelier of Italy award. You can either stay for dinner or enjoy an aperitivo in front of the tavern while admiring a breathtaking Venetian sunset you won’t forget anytime soon.
