Halloween—the GATHER Way
October 31 isn't an accident.
Fire looks better after dark. Mist settles differently across an autumn field. Bourbon, red wine and woodsmoke seem made for the season. And an old Virginia farm feels just a little more mysterious on Halloween night. This is Halloween—but there are no rules requiring costumes, characters or disguises. Come dressed for dinner. Come dressed for autumn. Black with a touch of red feels especially right. And if the spirit moves you, lean into the night.
There will be more treats than tricks.
Experience Ovoka.
GATHER is thrilled to be hosting a long-table dinner at Ovoka Farm Wagyu & Winery. Ovoka tours, tastings, and gatherings celebrate the connection between the land, the F1 Wagyu cattle they raise, and the food and wine they craft. Through guided experiences and seasonal culinary offerings, Ovoka brings the philosophy of agritourism to life— connecting you to the farm, the flavors of Virginia, and the rhythms of life on the land.
