Irish Chocolates Come to Virginia

September 05, 2009

CHOCOLATE LOVERS - Ireland brings decadent, mouth-watering chocolates to Virginia!  On September 5th, 2009, the Irish fused chocolate and wine at Chateau OBrien at Northpoint Winery and Vineyard in Markham, Virginia. 

Lily OBriens was founded in 1992 by Mary Ann OBrien, who had been in marketing. A baby, Lily, kept her at home, so she started making chocolates. She now imports chocolate from around the globe and has a plant in County Kildare that churns out 60 tons of chocolates a week. 

This spring, Lily OBriens expanded the company into the United States, opening a chocolate cafe in Bryant Park, New York, the first with more planned.  The store is managed and owned, by Cathal Queally, who joined the OBriens, and many chocolate loving guests, for an official release and sampling of the Lily OBriens chocolates

Assorted prepackaged boxes are now available for purchase Chateau OBrien and shipments options are also available.
