Authentic Frankfurt culinary private tour with food and Apple wine tasting

Frankfurt’s apple wine culture has been an integral part of the city’s joie de vivre for many, many years. Apple wine doesn’t just taste good, it is also known to promote good health. Its ingredients are said to strengthen the immune system while also preventing heart and cardiovascular disease. It is also reputed to improve blood flow to the brain and, as a result, mental vitality. The alcohol content of apple wine is somewhere around five percent, putting it at the lower end of the scale. Those looking to retain their slim figure will appreciate the low calorie content of apple wine, which is on average no more than 36 calories per 100 millilitres. White wine, in comparison, contains some 79 calories in the same amount.

Frankfurt, a central German city on the river Main, is a major financial hub that's home to the European Central Bank. It's the birthplace of famed writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, whose former home is now the Goethe House Museum. Like much of the city, it was damaged during World War II and later rebuilt. The reconstructed Altstadt (Old Town) is the site of Römerberg, a square that hosts an annual Christmas market.

Cool, laid-back Sachsenhausen is known for Museumsufer, a row of riverside museums exploring fine art, architecture, film and Jewish history. The area is also home to boisterous apple-wine pubs in its quaint, cobbled Altstadt, or old town, plus a mix of late-night bars, clubs and German restaurants. Cyclists, rollerbladers and joggers zip down the path along the Main River.
