About us

The Birth of an Italian Dream

The history of our company began in September 2022, when Gaylord and his wife participated in a Wine Tour in Puglia, organized by me, Stefano.

During the visit to the wineries, Gaylord realized the incredible quality of the wines produced in southern Puglia, and chatting with me, we all thought that it would be fantastic to be able to collaborate together to bring to the USA the authentic wines produced by small wineries in Italy.

So Gaylord, once he returned to the USA, began together with Stefano, who continues to work from Italy, to organize the first steps to set up the American company, and finally a year later in October 2023 the Italian company was born Craft Wine Importers of Michigan.

WE ARE DRIVEN BY VALUES

In embarking in this adventure and organising our corporation, we’ve embraced a hard and fast of essential values that resonate deeply with us: circle of relatives, honesty, freedom, and difficult paintings. Family is on the coronary heart of the entirety we do, fostering a feel of belonging and guide that extends during our corporation. Honesty serves as our compass, guiding our actions and interactions with integrity and transparency.

Freedom is the gasoline that ignites innovation and creativity within our group, allowing us to explore new thoughts and approaches without fear of constraint. These values aren’t simply summary ideals; they’re woven into the fabric of our daily operations, shaping the way we collaborate, and try for excellence. They’re the essence of who we are as a company, driving us forward with reason and ardour.
