The MainÄppelHaus orchard centre on Frankfurt's Lohrberg runs apple tasting walks and pressing days where the city's cider culture starts above the city.
Tip: Autumn pressing weeks are the draw: bring apples, leave with juice; the bistro terrace overlooks the city's only vineyard.
Eat the World's Westend tour walks three kilometres of Frankfurt's embassy quarter with up to six tastings between the villas and towers of the banking city.
Tip: The route ends somewhere other than it starts, by design; dates and start times vary by week, so book through the operator calendar and flag dietary needs ahead.
The Ebbelwei-Express rattles a vintage tram around Frankfurt with a bottle of apfelwein and pretzels included in the €8 fare, a full hour of the city from a wooden bench.
Tip: Pay the conductor on board and choose apple juice if cider is not your thing; weekend afternoons sell the benches out fast.
