Our Story
Take a Tour
Sponsored by the Winchester Federick County Tourism Bureau
Paul and Loretta Briedé of Winchester, Virginia, purchased the land in 2002 and established the Briedé Family Vineyards in 2013. The years before the vineyard was established, the fields around the main house were used for Loretta's hunter horses. They love great wine and now had the means to pursue a new adventure. They envisioned creating a vineyard using sustainable practices to grow healthy, grapes that showcase the beauty and terroir of Virginia. They are proud to be a part of the Virginia Wine Growers Association for the past 10 years, producing approximately 1000 cases of Estate Grown Wines.
Our tasting room, the former horse barn, opened in 2018 and is where we offer our award-winning estate wines, as well as an amazing selection of French Champagnes and sparkling wines. Our wines have always been our highest priority, making new wines with grapes not as familiar to Virginia. We are proud to say that our wines have visited Japan, Israel, BVI, England, France, to name a few and we are one of the first producers of the Arandell Grape Wines in the World. We believe hybrid grapes are our future and we will continue to explore what contribution they can make to the wine industry as a whole.
For us, it’s all about excellence and sharing! Excellence in the field, in wine quality, and service. For the past 10 years we have been producing unique small batch, hand picked grapes to craft some amazing award-winning wines. Varietals like Marquette, La Crescent, Pinot Meunier, Arandell, and Cayuga white have been on the forefront to produce some unprecedented wines. Our wines have been tasted and evaluated by world renowned wine critics. We want you to taste the terroir, the love and attention we give each vine, we want you to feel the passion for this amazing industry the way we do. It’s all about the journey and your experience with us. We could make the most amazing wines in the world, but they would be nothing without the ability to share our passion with you!
We are proud to be a member of the Shenandoah Valley Wine Trail, Virginia Wine Growers Association, The Virginia Vineyards Association, The Top of Virginia Chamber of Commerce and Virginia Wine Pass.
