Every two years, the new asparagus queen is crowned at the opening of the Terlano asparagus season. From 2026, Asparagus Queen Alexandra Maier will represent the Terlano-Vilpian-Settequerce asparagus triangle and Terlano asparagus at events at home and abroad.
Alexandra is actually dedicated to wine. But in the near future, she will be focusing her attention on asparagus.
First and foremost: Alexandra Maier loves asparagus – in all its variations, from classic asparagus with Bolzano sauce to cream of asparagus soup and asparagus dumplings. And since this royal spring vegetable pairs perfectly with fine wine, it's fortunate that the new Asparagus Queen is about to complete her sommelier training. So, for the next two years, Alexandra Maier will be talking not only about wine, but also about asparagus. And in the Terlano Asparagus Triangle, the two simply belong together.

The Asparagus Crown: In 70 hours of elaborate manual work, the crown of the Asparagus Queen was made by the Terlano goldsmith Hansjörg Kerschbaumer and was worn for the first time by an asparagus queen in 2007.
The Queen's shining badge is made of silver and is decorated with a golden "Margaret" coat of arms, several pearls and a stone. It was commissioned and donated by the founder of the Terlano Asparagus Season, the unfortunately deceased innkeeper Helmut Huber.
