Weddings & settings
Ceremonies
Weddings at Dexamenes are shaped by the contrast between its industrial architecture and the surrounding Ionian landscape. The layout of the estate allows each part of the day to take place in a different setting, creating a natural sense of movement throughout the celebration.
Ceremonies are typically held outdoors, with the sea, courtyard, or architectural spaces providing a backdrop depending on the scale and tone of the day.
The Beachfront, a simple, open setting with the Ionian Sea as a backdrop, often chosen for relaxed ceremonies with a direct connection to the shoreline.
The Courtyard, a more enclosed space framed by the original concrete silos and vineyard views, offering a setting that feels both private and architectural.
WineTank Suites, used for smaller ceremonies, first looks, or more intimate exchanges, with the raw structure of the suites creating a distinctive, minimal backdrop.
Each setting allows for a different atmosphere, while maintaining a consistent connection to the surrounding landscape and design of the estate.
Receptions
Celebrations at Dexamenes move fluidly between spaces, with each stage of the day unfolding in a different part of the property.
Following the ceremony, guests typically gather for drinks either by the vineyard or along the beachfront, before transitioning into dinner. Depending on the style of the celebration, this may take place outdoors beneath soft lighting or within one of the venue’s converted industrial spaces.
The estate offers a range of reception settings, each with its own character:
dex.Machina, a wine-focused gastro-tavern set within the former engine room, often used for welcome dinners or more relaxed receptions.
The Vineyard, a natural outdoor setting suited to al fresco dining or cocktail gatherings.
dex.Silo.01, a converted wine silo designed for immersive dining experiences, often used for more structured or design-led dinners.
The Lounge Terrace, positioned beside the beach, this space is typically used for music, dancing, and late-night gatherings.
As the evening develops, the celebration can continue across multiple areas, with music permitted until 2am. The venue works with a network of trusted local suppliers to support each stage of the event.
Staying on Site
Dexamenes accommodates up to 106 guests across 36 suites, all set within the property’s original winery structures. Weddings require a full buyout of the hotel with a minimum three-night stay, allowing the estate to function as a private setting throughout the celebration.
Suites reflect the building’s industrial origins, combining raw materials with a more minimal, considered approach to comfort.
- Beachfront WineTank Suites – 9 suites facing the Ionian Sea, offering direct views and immediate access to the shoreline.
- Courtyard WineTank Suites – 17 suites overlooking the central courtyard and vineyard.
- Backyard WineTank Suites – 8 suites set further back for a quieter, more private stay.
- Seaview ChemLab Suites – 2 larger suites with full sea views, private balconies, and bathtubs, often chosen by the couple.
Each suite includes COCO-MAT mattresses, air conditioning, soundproofing, Nespresso machines, and a pared-back interior design. Interconnecting options are available for families or small groups.
Food & Atmosphere
Food at Dexamenes is closely tied to its origins as a working winery, with an emphasis on seasonal ingredients, local sourcing, and a relaxed, sharing-style approach to dining rooted in Greek hospitality.
Menus are developed in collaboration with the culinary team and reflect the flavours of the region — from freshly grilled seafood and vibrant salads to olive oil, cheeses, and wines produced nearby. Dining is generous but unforced, with an emphasis on simplicity and quality rather than formality.
Meals are typically spread across the wedding weekend, allowing each to take on its own character. This might include a more informal arrival gathering, a longer wedding dinner, and a relaxed final-day meal by the beach or vineyard.
Dining can be tailored to suit the setting, whether outdoors at sunset or within one of the venue’s converted industrial spaces. Across each moment, food becomes part of the rhythm of the celebration rather than a single focal point.
Bar service follows a similar approach, with a focus on local wines, cocktails, and flexible setups depending on how the day unfolds.
