Celebrating
female winemakers
across Europe.

Hi, I’m Maria. zest is about shifting culture – a bottle at a time.

—pleasure with purpose

 

zest is for the curious. For those who want to taste — and understand. For everyone who believes that every glass is a choice: Who do you celebrate? Whose voice do you amplify? Who gets a seat at the table?

 

Can drinking be activism? Absolutely.

—more than wine

 

Who are the women behind the labels? What happens when they don’t follow tradition, but their own convictions? zest tells their stories — of life, resistance, and the deep connection between belief and taste.

“zest” brings the freshness of a citrus peel. It’s energy, a keen enjoyment. It’s the way women are reshaping the world of wine — with passion and their own distinct story and values.

—a zesty experience

 

zest comes to you — through private tastings, curated company events or pop-ups.

Is your focus on representation, sustainability, and transformation? I’ll bring the bottles — and the stories behind them.

zest is friends with talented female chefs who create tasty bites and menus.


While based in Berlin, events can be organized throughout Europe.

 

At home, you can order wine boxes in different sizes. Soon, I’ll be introducing each of the winemakers here — including non-alcoholic options.

—my story

In 2022, somewhere between sun, sea and natural wines on the Cycladic island of Tinos, I began to realize how invisible women winemakers still are.

 

So I started asking questions — and zest was born.
