Over the years, Greece has gained a reputation for beautiful scenery, fine foods and excellent wines. If you plan to rent luxury villas in the area and enjoy a fine glass of wine, then a trip to the Boutari Winery may be in the cards.

Located between Faros and Akrotiri, the Boutari Winery is a uniquely beautiful building that has been a part of Santorini's landscape since the mid-1980s. Notable for its large white dome and post-modern style, the vineyard is a wondrous site that provides you with a sense of the local culture.

The best time to visit the winery is in August, as this is prime production time, and guests enjoying tours may be able to sample some of the freshest and tastiest wines offered. Some of the vintages produced at the Santorini include the Asiritiko, Kallisti, Selladia, the Vinsanto and the self-titled Boutari Santorini, a well-reviewed varietal that is considered by many to be ideal Greek white wine.

After sampling some delicious wines, bring a bottle or two back to your luxury vacation rental and enjoy a fine vintage in a relaxing and beautiful setting.
