Overview

Do you want to learn about the inner workings of a real Murano workshop? Are you tired of the endless tourist traps around Venice and Murano? Look no more!

With this experience, I want to show you what a real glass factory looks and feels like, understand the production process of glass from sand to a bespoke piece, and watch real Murano Glass Masters while they blow glass (explanation in English).

What you will experience:
First, in the Batch Room the place where it all starts: Here, sand and other chemicals are mixed to perfection to obtain glass that will melt once charged into a 1400°C furnace. Next, in the Hotshop where the magic happens: You will learn about the glass melting process, from chemical mix to molten glass, how the furnaces work, and an overview of all the tools we use. Last, in the Coldshop where the glass starts to shine! You will see all the machines used to carve, drill, cut, flatten, and polish glass.

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
