The cidery has a trellised orchard of classic apples that will produce dry sparkling ciders, a line of non-alcoholic mountain tonics, and small-batch apple brandy spirits. 

  • Founders Brendan and Carly Coyle, the husband-and-wife team behind Dendric Estate, aim to build a cider estate dedicated to environmentally sustainable practices. Brendan Coyle brings his years of spirits expertise from his role as Master Distiller of Park City’s acclaimed High West Distillery, where he also oversaw the quality and process of the Fortune 500 parent company’s global spirits portfolio.

  • In addition to having access to a variety of direct-to-consumer products, a fully immersive cider experience will be available to future visitors at the Dendric Estate Tasting Room. This 4,200 square-foot space and airy outdoor patio will offer an exquisite small-plate menu with curated cider pairings and will be available to accommodate intimate weddings, business functions, and private gatherings.
