Chateau O’Brien

Chateau O’Brien at Northpoint is proud to be a family-owned and operated winery, with owner Howard O’Brien personally pouring wine and sharing his intimate knowledge of the wines at the tasting bars. The winery is nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Northern Virginia and has earned a reputation for producing hand-crafted wines of distinction in a variety of styles ranging from premium dry white varietals to complex red blends with depth and integrity, and even a wildly popular Apple Dessert wine.

Enjoy The Chateau From Above! We strongly believe that the quality of our wines begins in the vineyard. Our wines embody the unique and enduring characteristics of the soil and climate. The steep slopes and rocky soil provide excellent drainage and trace elements that contribute to our wines. Our vineyard is currently 25 acres with a planned expansion to 45 acres with a new vineyard site purchased last year in 2014. Our vines were hand-selected to match our rootstock for the intensity of flavor and true varietal character and are nurtured through natural viticulture approaches. We strive to apply all forms of safe farming practices.
