Katya Vineyards
Family winery and fine dining restaurant on the historic downtown Ocala square
Katya Vineyards, at 11 E Silver Springs Blvd on the downtown Ocala square, is a family winery and fine dining restaurant open for dinner Monday–Saturday from 5–10 PM (closed Sundays). Chef Tony Deras's seasonal menu pairs with the house's own Florida wines and a cellar list from around the world. Reservations are recommended.
A Family Winery on the Downtown Square
Katya Vineyards began in 2010, when Drs. David and Patricia Sokol planted vines among Ocala's horse farms and named the winery for their daughter, Katya. The falcon on the label is the family's mark: sokol is Slavic for falcon. In 2017 the family opened its tasting room on the historic downtown square, and today the restaurant is owned and run by Katya and her husband, Executive Chef Tony Deras.
At 11 E Silver Springs Blvd, Katya Vineyards is a fine dining restaurant serving dinner only. Chef Tony's menu changes with the season and the market. The Summer 2026 menu runs from cheese and charcuterie boards and Kaluga Osetra caviar service to appetizers like handmade burrata and Wagyu filet tartare, and entrées of about $55 to $80, such as seafood risotto, seared scallops on lobster ravioli, Wagyu filet tips over gnocchi, and braised beef short ribs. The kitchen also serves certified Japanese A5 Olive Wagyu flown in from Japan. Ask your server about gluten-free, vegetarian, or vegan options.
The house wines come from Blanc du Bois and Lenoir, hybrid grapes bred for Florida's climate. They make the estate blends Alexandra (white) and Nikolai (red), and earned Katya Vineyards the 2021 Florida Winery of the Year title at the New York International Wine Competition. The cellar list, presented at the table, also earned Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence in 2021 and 2022.
For a guided evening, Chef Tony's four-course tasting menu is $160, with an optional $40 wine pairing, and a four-course Wine & Gourmet Pairing with the estate blends is $75. The restaurant also hosts ticketed seasonal events, such as a Villains and Vampires Halloween party and a New Year's Eve Casino Night; check its events page for current dates.
A private VIP dining room seats birthdays, proposals, rehearsal dinners, and business dinners, with the full menu or a curated pairing. For a date night or anniversary on the square, it is one of downtown Ocala's most special-occasion tables, so book ahead, especially on weekends. Pair it with an evening out downtown.
