77th German Wine Queen Anna Zenz

Born into a family of wine producers in Ediger, she became familiar with wine from an early age through the family business. Following her father’s untimely passing, she became involved in the management of the winery “Weingut Zenz” as a co-owner together with her siblings at a young age.

After serving as the local and Mosel Wine Queen and broadening her knowledge of the wine industry, she was appointed the 77th German Wine Queen while continuing to support the family business and study business administration.

As a bridge between consumers and producers, she shares her passion for wine and the appeal of winemaking, expanding her activities while engaging people along the way.
