The Društvo vinogradnikov in ljubiteljev vina Cerkvenjak has announced a call for a new wine queen for the year 2026–2028. The selected candidate will represent the municipality of Cerkvenjak and promote local wines and vineyards. Current wine queen Ivana Vršič, whose two-year term is ending, expressed her satisfaction with the experience, noting it made her more independent and connected with other queens. She emphasized the importance of promoting regional wines through travel and events. The application deadline is September 10, and candidates must be under 26 years old with a valid driver’s license and willingness to participate in promotional events. A professional committee will evaluate applicants based on general impression, knowledge, and familiarity with viticulture and winemaking in the Slovenian Gorica region.
