Coffee, wine or tea?

All of the above have a tradition in Frankfurt

Rooted in Frankfurt, tea, coffee and wine reflect the city's rich culture and diverse history. Historically, Frankfurt was an important trading centre, a crossroads that made exotic goods such as tea and coffee from distant lands accessible. This fostered a lively coffee house culture that can still be felt today in the city's cosy cafés. Ronnefeldt, based in Frankfurt since 1823, enriches this tradition with the finest teas for connoisseurs and reflects the city's appreciation of high-quality luxury foods.

Wine-growing benefits from its proximity to the slopes of the Rheingau, one of Germany's oldest and most renowned wine-growing regions, which has made the enjoyment of local wine a firm tradition. Visitors can purchase excellent wines as souvenirs at the city of Frankfurt's municipal winery. A wonderful opportunity to take the diversity of flavours and wine-growing heritage home with you.
