Join us for a very special edition of our Wagyu & Wine Tasting Tour at Ovoka Farm, celebrating the first-ever release of Ovoka Farm Winery’s inaugural wine, Gap Run Red.

Your guided walking tour will take you through the 1700s Ovoka Manor Home and surrounding grounds, and along rolling pastures where you can get up close with our F1 Wagyu herd while soaking in stunning Blue Ridge Mountain views. Meet the farmers, learn about our sustainable practices, and discover what makes our Virginia cattle farm unique.

Throughout the tour, enjoy chef-prepared tastings of Ovoka F1 Wagyu Beef (small bites), paired with wines from Ovoka Farm Winery—including the debut tasting of Gap Run Red. The tour concludes at our Farm Store & Tasting Room, where Wagyu beef cuts, wine, and more will be available for purchase.

Please note: this is a tasting experience, not a full dinner.

Turn it into a true getaway with an overnight farm stay at Ovoka Farm. Manor Home rooms are available at a special tasting tour rate—select the add-on ticket at checkout.
