What food and wine are there in Frankfurt and its surroundings?

Frankfurt is located in Hesse, Germany, where not only the scenery is beautiful, but also the wine and wine are first-class. If you come to taste wine, besides the world-class Riesling, don't miss the cider known as the "national wine".

There are two wine producing areas in Hesse: Bergstrasse and Rheingau. Berg Strasse is the smallest but very charming one among all German producing areas, and rheingau is famous all over the world. The quiet Bergstrasse is located between darmstadt and Heidelberg, with convenient transportation, the federal highway runs through the whole territory, and the hiking route of 12km connects many vineyards, which can directly lead tourists to explore. Bergstrasse wine is a treasure here, and it is almost impossible to drink it outside this area. It is easy to get to the world-famous rheingau by train. On both sides of the magnificent Rhine River, the vineyards step by step along the steep slopes and extend to the historic castle at the top. The best way to enjoy the pleasant scenery here is to have a talk with the hospitable Hessian locals on the terrace of the winery restaurant that produces exquisite dishes, or in the shade of the family winery with a world-class Riesling in hand.

Wine is not the only traditional wine supplied in Hesse 10. Federweisser is a light, refreshing and slowly fermented white grape juice, which is sold together with autumn fruits such as apples and pears in rural markets, and will also be paired with delicious onion pies in cafes and restaurants. However, if we want to say the most representative wine in Hesse, it must be sour and lifeless apple wine (Apfelwein). In all kinds of festivals and major events in the whole region, whether in farms, press conferences or country pubs, you can fully experience the local cider culture. Or, when you want to spend an active and warm evening in the city, just go to any famous Apple pub in Frankfurt. Here, you can enjoy a glass of cider and local specialties of the city, such as boiled eggs in green sauce (cooked with fresh herbs), pork chops pickled with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes, or sausages on black bread.
