Crauford Wine Company was founded in 2000 by Marilyn Crawford Corley, whose family originated in Scotland. The company themes reflect her Scottish ancestry. The motto on the family crest, "Tutum te robore reddam," which appears on all of our wines, translates as "I will render you safe by my strength". While Marilyn is now retired, she continues to contribute as a consultant to the company.

Paul Maroon and Cory Frampton have worked in partnership with the company since 2002 providing fruit from Maroon Vineyard and financial services. Paul and Cory became the sole owners of CrauforD Wine Company in 2006 when Marilyn retired. Kelly Darter, our General Manager joined us in 2006 after working for many years in destination marketing and event planning. Bonnie Buss joined us in 2007 as our Retail Sales and Wine Club Manager.
