Go beyond a traditional glass factory tour and experience Murano like never before. Step inside one of the island’s finest and largest glass factories, meet master glassmakers, and create your own authentic Murano glass in an exclusive private workshop.
Your experience begins in the heart of Venice, where your private host will warmly welcome you before accompanying you aboard a private water taxi. Enjoy a scenic cruise across the Venetian Lagoon to Murano, the legendary island where the world’s finest art glass has been crafted for over 700 years.
Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed inside the glass factory before witnessing a fascinating live glassblowing demonstration by a master glassmaker. Watch molten glass transformed into a stunning work of art using techniques that have been carefully passed down from generation to generation.
Then, it’s your turn.
Step inside the factory’s private production workshop—an area normally closed to visitors—where Murano’s most beautiful creations come to life. Under the personal guidance of a master glassmaker, each participant will learn the ancient art of glassblowing and create their very own authentic Murano goto, the island’s iconic drinking glass.
Choose the colors, shape and decorative details of your creation before taking the blowpipe yourself. With expert guidance throughout every step of the process, you’ll discover the secrets of this extraordinary craft while creating a beautiful glass that is entirely your own.
Your handcrafted Murano glass is included in the experience. It can be delivered directly to your hotel the following day or safely shipped anywhere in the world at no additional cost, allowing you to enjoy a truly unique souvenir that will last a lifetime.
After your workshop, relax with a complimentary glass of Prosecco—or the drink of your choice—as you explore the factory’s magnificent art gallery and elegant showroom. Admire one of Murano’s largest collections of handcrafted glass masterpieces while discovering the incredible creativity and craftsmanship for which the island is famous. There is absolutely no obligation to make a purchase; simply enjoy the beauty of these exceptional works of art at your own pace.
Once your visit comes to an end, your private water taxi will take you comfortably back to St. Mark’s Square, completing an unforgettable experience that very few visitors to Venice ever have the opportunity to enjoy.
More than a tour, this is a rare opportunity to become a Murano glassmaker for a day, create a genuine piece of Murano glass with your own hands, and take home a story you’ll be telling for years to come.
