Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga has listed the former Corban's Winery and Mt Lebanon Vineyards near Henderson as a Category 1 historic place, identifying the complex as having outstanding national importance.
The site includes the original wine cellar complex, the 1920s Corban homestead, the distillery tower with its well-known 'Corbans' sign visible from Swanson Road, and extended office, bottling plant and despatch facilities.
The listing includes shelter trees and other historic plantings from the complex's early years.
The winery and vineyards were founded by pioneer Lebanese winemaker Assid Abraham Corban and his family in 1902.
