CRAUFORD WINES NAPA VALLEY
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.
