Apple wine magic

From pure to sparkling 
– discover the variety 

The Apple WIne Festival in Frankfurt is a journey through the history and culture of a beverage that is deeply rooted in the Hessian soul: Apple wine, affectionately known as "Ebbelwoi". Every summer at the lively Roßmarkt, Frankfurt is transformed into a stronghold of apple wine culture, where tradition and contemporary creations come together to create an unforgettable experience.

For centuries, apple wine has been more than just a popular Hessian beverage; it is in fact 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 traditional Hessian drink and its ability to unite generations and flavours.

The festival, organised in close co-operation with  local apple wine producers, is a stage for the colourful diversity of apple wine. A varied stage programme with live music creates the perfect festival atmosphere.

  • The diversity of apple wine:
    The festival naturally focuses on 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 specialities:
    In addition to the apple wine, the culinary specialities are not neglected. Frankfurt specialities such as Handkäs mit Musik, Rippchen mit Kraut or Bethmännchen provide the perfect basis for apple wine tasting. Accompanying these is the famous Green Sauce, which, served with Frankfurt schnitzel, sausages, and potatoes, is a must-try for any lover of Hessian cuisine.

  • Market stalls:
    Numerous market stalls around the Roßmarkt invite you to browse. Here you can find everything from apple wine accessories to regional products and artisan goods.

  • Live music and entertainment:
    A varied stage programme 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.
