The Apfelweinkontor in the oldest half-timbered house and residential building in the city of Frankfurt, run by Josef Grunenberg and Dayanna Moya, is a special kind of cider shop. With a total of over 60 varieties of cider from our own production and from other wineries, we offer a wide range of products and organise cider seminars and cider tastings throughout the year. Our task and our goal is to give cider a fair platform and to help it become better known and more popular beyond the region. In 2023, we hosted over 3000 guests from all over Germany and many other parts of the world at our cider tastings. Our cider tastings are not just about tasting the ciders, it is also very important to us to provide important background information about the history, production methods and also the differences and parallels between international ciders such as cider, sidra and cidre. There are fantastic ciders all over the world and we are always on the lookout for exciting producers and products. Everyone starts somewhere and we are here to help small producers in particular to grow.
Under the slogan “WEIN AUS ÄPFELN”, we currently produce 7 different types of cider and have set ourselves the task of redefining cider according to our own ideas. We give our products a creative and artistic aspect, both in terms of flavour and the design of the bottles and labels. We were most recently awarded gold, silver and bronze for our products at the New York International Cider Competition in 2020 and three gold, one silver and one bronze at the Sagardo Forum 2023 in San Sebastian.
