Not your typical wine specialist

Serving the wine trade since 2010, Kevin & Marta were always set to become 'not your typical' wine specialist.

"We've forged partnerships with pioneering winemakers from around the world. Tasted a wine or two and now meticulously curate an ever-developing organic, vegan, natural, low intervention and low/no sulphite selection of wines for you".

Driven by Marta's Portuguese palate and Kevin's enthusiasm for community and purpose, they embark on a quest to unearth wines from exceptional producers. A passion for all things eco-friendly expanded the range to include wines from Argentina, Austria, France, Spain, Croatia, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and beyond.

‘If we can live near the sea we are happy’

We are often asked how we came to live here in North Norfolk. We both fell in love with the place after travelling to enjoy the coast, the sea and areas of outstanding natural beauty and if we can live near the sea we are happy.

We are established here in Walsingham and Thornham and it is our wonderful community that continue to inspire us to seek out sustainable wines from wine producers who share our values of caring for the environment now and for the future.

Wine is a tribute to nature

We believe that sharing wine brings people together and creates meaningful, lasting moments of connection. Whether it's a quiet catch-up between friends, a family gathering, or a lively community celebration, wine has a beautiful way of opening hearts and deepening conversation.

We love to celebrate the power of wine to unite people across generations and backgrounds, enriching lives one sip at a time. It’s not just about what’s in the glass, but the stories, laughter, and togetherness that flow with it.

For us, wine is a way of life—a tribute to nature, culture, and the richness of the human experience. It invites us to slow down, savour the moment, and connect more deeply with ourselves and those around us.

Rola Wine is produced in the heart of the Douro in Portugal. This is where Ana Rola’s grandfather instilled a deep love for land and wine, crafted to be authentic, honest, yet refined.

Partnerships with pioneering winemakers

We value our collaborations with smaller, family-run vineyards to form partnerships that align with our values of authenticity and environmental responsibility.

This ensures that every wine we select not only tastes exceptional but also reflects our commitment to supporting sustainable practices and fostering genuine connections within the wine community.

Bringing the tradition of an Enoteca to North Norfolk as a great place to indulge in the pleasures of wine culture.

An Enoteca is a cosy haven for wine enthusiasts, a specialist wine bar and shop that aligns with your lifestyle.

Traditionally in Italian culture, an Enoteca is a place where you can appreciate and buy a variety of wines, often accompanied by small plates of delicious food to complement the tasting experience.

When you visit us you can expect a warm welcome and a relaxed atmosphere, where you can taste wines in the company of friends and other wine lovers.
