This past weekend, the grand venue became the ultimate destination for anyone searching for something truly special in their glass. One of the most exciting things to witness was the changing face of the crowd. Beneath the magnificent crystal chandeliers, there was a noticeable surge of young enthusiasts—especially a new generation of men who have embraced cider and apple wine as a modern lifestyle drink. At the tasting tables, the passion of the producers was palpable. It was a chance to dive deep into a world of unique aromas alongside fellow fans. The energy was clear: Frankfurt’s traditional “Stöffche” (apple wine) has officially taken its place on the global stage.

What happens when a traditional Frankfurt tavern with deep apple wine roots reaches for the stars? You get an evening full of surprises, incredible flavors, and plenty of “Stöffche” (apple wine), but in a way you’ve never experienced before. Normally, you drink your apple wine from a classic ribbed glass with a side of rustic hospitality. But on June 11th, a new breeze blew through the district of Sachsenhausen. Under the motto “Cider goes Michelin at Daheim bei den Drei Steubern,” the team proved that Hessen’s cult drink can easily compete with the finest wines. This exclusive evening was part of the “Sterne über Frankfurt” (Stars over Frankfurt) event series. The goal? To marry regional tradition with the sophistication of Michelin-star-level dining.
