4-star wine resort on Mazzorbo Island, Venice Lagoon

Walled Vineyard

Venissa Wine Resort is set within a historic walled vineyard on Mazzorbo Island, known for producing the rare Dorona di Venezia wine. The vineyard has been cultivated in conditions challenging typical viticulture, with a terroir that is characterized by its unique balance of salt and flood resistance. This distinctive wine is a true representation of the native Venice area, produced with a commitment to biodiversity and traditional winemaking methods.

Wine Experiences

Visitors can engage with a range of curated wine experiences showcasing the vineyard's offerings. These experiences include guided vineyard tours led by a wine ambassador and a structured tasting selection featuring the estate's wines. The options encompass four distinct experiences: Dorona, Viaggio, Storia, and Verticale Venissa.

Dining at Ristorante Venissa

The Michelin-starred Ristorante Venissa offers a choice between a seven-course or ten-course tasting menu that reflects the flavors of the Venetian lagoon. The culinary creations are crafted using wild herbs, seasonal vegetables from the estate, and local seafood. Guests can enhance their dining with a carefully curated wine pairing from the estate's own collection.

On-Site Accommodations

Venissa Wine Resort features five rooms in a historic manor house, creating a quiet retreat away from the crowds of Venice. Each room is designed with minimalist decor and colors that reflect the lagoon's palette, offering comfort for guests. The estate also comprises Casa Burano, located a short ten-minute walk away, featuring thirteen additional rooms within colorful houses on Burano Island.

Local Exploration

Venissa facilitates a variety of excursions, including guided tours of the surrounding islands such as Burano and Torcello. Visitors have the chance to participate in local crafts, including embroidery classes and goldsmith workshops. Seasonal activities, such as traditional fishing experiences and rowing, immerse guests in the natural and cultural landscape of the Venetian lagoon.

Highlights

“Here's an opinion. This boutique stay, nestled within a working vineyard on Mazzorbo, offers an escape unlike any other in the Venetian lagoon. The focus on local ingredients and in-house wine production, especially the rare Dorona, cultivates a genuinely immersive experience, further enhanced by its Michelin-starred dining.”
