Paul and Loretta Briedé of Winchester, Virginia, established the Briedé Family Vineyards in 2013. They envisioned creating a vineyard using sustainable practices to grow healthy, flavorful grapes. The vineyard is a group effort of the Briedé family.

A small production, boutique winery owned and operated by a devoted husband and wife team. Granite Heights has 12 acres of vines set in a pastoral setting off Opal Road, south of Warrenton, on a 168-acre farm. Our tasting room is in a 19th-century farmhouse with intimate “sit down” tastings which offers an unhurried and friendly atmosphere in which to enjoy our award-winning wines.

Granite Heights winery is a state-of-the-art production facility that specializes in small batch production of high-quality wines (award-winning Bordeaux style reds, 100% Red Varietals, Petit Manseng, Chardonnay, and port-style wines). Most of the vines are French certified ENTAV clones planted in high-density fashion and our wines are produced on site. We have already been recognized by the Washington Post and other wine reviewers for our high-quality wines.

We focus only on the wines and let the wines speak for themselves.

Prince Michel Vineyard and Winery, one of the east coast’s oldest and largest wineries, is passionate about great wine and a great wine experience.  It doesn’t matter if you can only visit us through our website or come to our main winery and one of our off-site tasting rooms.  It is always our goal to make your experience with us exceptional.
