The city of Frankfurt will host the annual Apple Wine Festival from August 11 to 20. Celebrating the tradition of apple wine making, which goes back over three centuries, there are going to be poetry sessions, music for the young and the old, besides unique apple wine cocktails. And one can also enjoy traditional wines. On sale will be a selection of apple wine merchandise and utensils, along with the famous “bembel”—the blue-grey earthenware jug from which apple wine is traditionally served.

The festival takes place at Rossmarkt (Mon Thur, 11am–11pm; Fri–Sat, 11am–12am; visit frankfurt-tourismus.de).
