Spyros Metaxas
In 1888, he created a one-of-a-kind amber spirit, with a unique aromatic intensity and an unparalleled smoothness: METAXA. The spirit that has proudly carried his name ever since took over the world in such a profound manner that it has now epitomized the myth of the Original Greek Spirit. Since 1888, the founder’s legacy is found in every drop of METAXA.
Despina Metaxa
In 1909, when Spyros passed away, Despina decided to continue his work, guided by the passion they shared. At a moment in history when this decision was not easy to make, she took over the House and pursued its quest for excellence. Above all, Despina’s wish was to safekeep the family spirit and to ensure her sons’ involvement in the future of the House.
Andreas Metaxas
In 1909, Despina took over the management of the distillery, until the 1930s, when her three sons, Angelos, George and Andreas came of age and assumed managerial positions in the House. The three brothers divided responsibilities, with Andreas, the youngest, who had the most affinity with the finer things in life, taking up the role of “Chief Blender”. United, the three brothers kept the House alive and continued METAXA’s international expansion. Andreas Metaxa safeguarded and built on the legacy of his father Spyros, creating one of the most emblematic METAXA styles, METAXA Grande Fine.
Elias Metaxas
Ever since he was young, Elias Metaxa would spend countless hours with his father Andreas in the cellars. He studied oenology and viticulture in Dijon in France and became an awarded oenologist. In his early twenties, together with his brother Spyros, Elias assumed the management of the House. Following in the footsteps of his father, Elias became the “Chief Blender”. But Elias quickly realized the need to introduce new production methods.
Andreas Metaxas
He holds a BSc in Mechanical Engineering from Tufts University (1988) and a Master of Science in Real Estate Development from MIT (1993). Following his studies in the United States, Andreas returned to Greece with the goal of scaling the family real estate business and broadening its strategic scope. Under his leadership, MEKTIMA has expanded its footprint across multiple real estate sectors—including residential, commercial, hospitality, and mixed-use developments—while remaining committed to long-term value creation and thoughtful design.
