After strolling past the eateries, and shops of the Dorsoduro district, stop to take in the views of Squero di San Trovaso, the oldest and most picturesque of Venice’s three surviving boatyards.

There is only one place in the world where dorona di Venezia grapevines grow, and that is the Venissa wine estate, a 2.5-acre plot of land seasoned by the salt waters of the Adriatic on the tiny island of Mazzorbo. Cruise across the sparkling Venetian Lagoon for a one-of-a-kind experience at this unique vineyard resurrected over the past few decades by the Bisol family, famous for producing prosecco di Valdobbiadene since the 16th century.
