Frankfurt is located in Hesse, Germany, which is not only beautiful in scenery, but also excellent in wine and wine. If you come to taste wine, besides the world's top Riesling, don't miss the cider known as the "state wine".

Hesse has two wine producing areas: Bergstrasse, which is the smallest but very charming one among all German producing areas, and Rheingau, which is famous all over the world. Quiet Bergstrasse is located between darmstadt and Heidelberg, with convenient transportation, federal highway running through the whole area, and a 12-kilometer hiking route connecting many vineyards in series, which can directly lead tourists to explore. Bergstrasse wine is a treasure here, and it is almost impossible to drink outside the region. The world-famous rheingau can be easily reached by train from Frankfurt. On both sides of the magnificent Rhine River, vineyards go up step by step along steep slopes and extend to the historic castle at the top. The best way to enjoy the pleasant scenery here is to have a good chat with the hospitable local people in Hesse with a world-class Riesling in hand on the terrace of a winery restaurant that produces exquisite dishes or in the shaded courtyard of a family winery.

wine is not the only traditional wine served in Hesse in October. Federweisser is a kind of 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 talk about the most representative wine in Hesse, it must be the sour and airless apple wine (Apfelwein). In all kinds of festivals and major events in the whole region, whether you are in a farm, a press conference or a country pub, you can fully experience the local cider culture. Or, when you want to spend an active and enthusiastic night in the city, just go to any famous Apple pub in Frankfurt. Here, you can enjoy a glass of cider, as well as the local specialties of the city, such as boiled eggs with green sauce (cooked with fresh herbs), pickled pork chops with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes, or wieners with black bread.
