Venissa Wine Resort - Burano

Michelin-starred wine resort on Mazzorbo Island in the Venetian Lagoon

Dining and Wine Production

Venissa Wine Resort operates two on-site dining venues: the Michelin-starred Ristorante Venissa and the more casual Osteria. The restaurant creates seasonal menus using local ingredients, while the property produces its own white wine from the rare Dorona di Venezia grape. This in-house wine is available for purchase and tasting on site.

Wine Tours and Tastings

Venissa Mazzorbo offers educational wine tours led by knowledgeable wine ambassadors, exploring the walled vineyard and the history of the Dorona grape. These tours include a guided stroll through the vineyard and a tasting of four wines. The Storia tour provides a deeper look into the estate's winemaking heritage.

Accommodations and Grounds

The resort has only five guest rooms, each with exposed-beam ceilings and parquet floors, some with water views. The property is surrounded by a walled vineyard and orchard, offering a private and tranquil setting. A private dock allows guests to arrive by boat directly from the lagoon.

Location and Nearby Attractions

Venissa Wine Resort is located on Mazzorbo Island, a five-minute walk from the colorful island of Burano. The water bus stop for Venice is 100 meters away, with a 40-minute journey to St. Mark's Square. Nearby historical sites include San Francesco del Deserto, accessible by short boat ride.

Activities and Services

Venissa Italy offers bike tours, canoeing, and walking tours to explore the lagoon islands. Daily themed dinners and happy hour events are organized on the property. The resort is pet-friendly and provides pet bowls, welcoming guests traveling with dogs.
