Frankfurter Apfelweinfest

In the organizer's words:

Tradition in a glass

The Frankfurt Apple Wine Festival puts the spotlight on a true cultural asset of the city and the region. Against the imposing backdrop of the Frankfurt skyline, the festival brings people together to showcase the diversity and tradition of Frankfurt's national drink.

With every pint of cider, visitors delve deeper into the complex nuances of taste and experience the extent to which cider culture has shaped Frankfurt. From timelessly classic to originally creative: each variant reflects the history of its creation and the producers.

In addition to the enjoyment of cider, the festival offers a varied program: atmospheric live music, informative workshops on the art of cider making and culinary specialties that perfectly complement the typical taste of cider.

From pure to sparkling - discover the variety

The cider festival in Frankfurt is a journey through the history and culture of a drink that is deeply rooted in the Hessian soul: cider, affectionately known as "Ebbelwoi". At the lively Roßmarkt in summer, Frankfurt is transformed into a stronghold of cider culture, where tradition and contemporary creations come together to create an unforgettable experience.

For centuries, cider has been more than just a drink in Hesse; it is an expression of regional identity and joie de vivre. The variety of enjoyment - pure, as a "spritzer" with mineral water or sparkling mixed with lemonade - shows the versatility of this Hessian national drink and its ability to unite generations and tastes.

The festival, organized in close cooperation with the local wineries, is a stage for the diversity of cider. A varied stage program with live music creates the perfect atmosphere.

• The diversity of cider:
  The focus of the festival is, of course, cider in all its variations. From traditional, pure varieties to refreshing spritzers and innovative creations, visitors can discover the whole range of Hesse's national drink.

• Culinary specialties:
  In addition to cider, culinary delights are not neglected either. Frankfurt specialties such as Handkäs with music, Frankfurt sausages and delicious grilled specialties provide the perfect basis for cider tasting. This is accompanied by the famous green sauce, which, served with Frankfurter schnitzel, bratwurst and potatoes, is a must for every lover of Hessian cuisine. A special highlight are the traditional pretzel boys, who visit the Apfelweinfest three times a day with pretzels and Haddekuche in their baskets.

• Live music and entertainment:
  A varied stage program with live music ensures an exuberant atmosphere among the guests. Whether traditional Hessian songs, modern beats or international sounds - there is something for every taste.
