Corbin Farms’ wine lives on through Ozan Winery

Corbin Farms was one of the oldest family-owned wineries in the South. A staple of the Calera community for years, the news of its closure was bittersweet.

But according to Corbin Farms’ announcement on social media, its legacy will live on. 

“We always wanted the brand to continue, but for awhile, it felt as if we’d have no other option but closing. Thankfully, we were able to construct a deal with Ozan…This deal will allow for the Corbin wine brand to continue along with retaining several of our key team members and benefiting Ozan by growing their portfolio.”

Why did Corbin Farms chose Ozan Winery as its retail partner?

“Reputation and proximity. We wanted to find a partner that would take great care of the customers we have grown to love so much. We also felt it needed to be here in the Birmingham area to continue thriving.”
