While tourists often flock to nearby Burano, the neighboring island of Mazzorbo remains a quiet gem, filled with green spaces, vineyards, and a true sense of local life.
If you’re looking to explore the less-traveled corners of the lagoon, the best way to do it is to visit Mazzorbo by boat, as part of the Islands Discovery tour by Venice Tour By Boat.
Mazzorbo is connected to Burano by a simple wooden footbridge, but it feels like another world. Here, silence reigns, and nature takes center stage. The island is known for its vineyards, especially the rare Dorona grape, a variety once lost and now lovingly revived in one of Venice’s few remaining lagoon vineyards.
Wandering through the vines, visiting the small Church of Santa Caterina, or enjoying a slow lunch in a local agriturismo gives you a new perspective on Venice — one rooted in land, tradition, and simplicity.
With a private boat tour, you can arrive comfortably and take your time exploring. Whether you want to combine Mazzorbo with stops at Burano, Murano, or Sant’Erasmo, the itinerary is completely customizable to suit your pace and preferences.
By booking directly with Venice Tour By Boat, you get the best price, direct contact with your skipper, and a personal approach that avoids agencies and rigid programs. You decide how long to stay, what to visit, and how to enjoy this peaceful corner of the lagoon.
