Our Journey
POLKA’s journey began in 2021, South Australia, a place where quality wine and produce are eponymous and also the home state of our founders, Ben and Emma Mellows.
A great deal of Ben’s energy centres around flavour and new product innovation. Ten years in the food and nutritional manufacturing industry enabled us to create a non-alc brand with more unconventional methods than traditional wine makers. In utilising premium South Australian wine, natural extracts and native botanicals, POLKA has been able to find a taste profile that elevates the non-alcoholic category to a more complex flavour profile.
Achieving this would not be possible without the tireless smarts of his now wife, Emma, whose passion for quality, customer satisfaction and communication has made POLKA stand for more than just tasty beverages.
