Sharon Alexander, a 4th generation Corban, shares the challenges that her vintner family faced during the prohibition era in the early 1900s at the talks/exhibition on 30 September, there are two sessions, one at 10.30am and one at 1.30pm.
Though much of west Auckland was a dry area, including the site of Corbans Winery, the family were able to produce wine but not sell or distribute on the premises. To resolve this, they built a brick depot over the railway line, only a few hundred metres away but outside the prohibited area.
The wine depot has been a loved and visible heritage landmark on Great North Road. Celebrate the 100-year anniversary of the Corban family homestead and take a tour of the heritage buildings, see winemaking relics and photos from the prohibition era.
Presented by: A collaboration of Corban Estate Arts Centre, Corban Winery Estate Heritage Preservation Trust and West Auckland Historical Society.
