Wagyu Weekend - Romantic Couple Retreats
If you are the type of person who plans their travel around food, then a visit to Joseph Decuis in Roanoke, Indiana is a must-do. This Northeast Indiana restaurant has attracted national attention for their gourmet farm-to-fork cuisine with its signature Wagyu beef raised on their farm just a few miles away. The Eshelmans have expanded the Wagyu experience to include two historic bed and breakfasts, a lunch cafe and a series of special events that showcase their love of food, family and entertaining. Choose from a relaxing elevated weekend at the farm or a boutique shopping trip- combine that with Wagyu and now you've crafted the perfect couples getaway.
Out on the Farm
What better way to experience the true nature of farm-to-fork dining than by staying at the Joseph Decuis Farmstead Inn just outside their farm. This restored farmhouse feels right out of the pages of an antique photo album and boasts a mix of farmhouse charm with comfortable stylish decor. Curl up with a book in the living room with idyllic views of the Indiana countryside or head out to the adjacent barn to get to know the resident farm animals.
The Farmstead Inn includes a restored 1884 Farmhouse, Carriage House, and Barn. It features six bedrooms, each with a private bath, a loft for meetings and receptions, and private dining.
There are many myths and misconceptions surrounding Wagyu practices. Joseph Decuis is committed to educating the public about the "real" story of Wagyu. They offer private tours of the farm (limited availability). Inquire about tours when making your Saturday evening dinner reservations in the restaurant.
Unforgettable Dining Experiences
The grand finale of your Wagyu Weekend is of course dinner at Joseph Decuis Restaurant situated in Downtown Roanoke. The AAA Four Diamond restaurant has been featured on the Travel Channel's Food Paradise, Dr. Oz Show and many other national publications.
Alice and Pete have created an atmosphere that is warm and inviting, yet elegant. The main dining room is situated in an old bank building and the beautifully adorned vault has been converted into their wine cellar.
Executive Chef Marcus Daniel carefully crafts his seasonal menu with alternating cuts of Wagyu steaks, Mangalitsa pork chops, seafood, chicken and vegetarian options. For the ultimate experience, order Wagyu cuts whose intense marbling creates a flavor like no other.
