Daniel Haykin

Producer, Haykin Family Cider

FOUNDER & CIDERMAKER
Daniel came to cider from a love of champagne and sparkling wine but his drive to make the best cider came from trying to impress Talia. It was constant trial and error until they landed on a style that was sparkling wine-like, unique and just what they both enjoyed drinking. Daniel’s focus on excellence can be seen in his relationships with his growers, selection of apples, care during the production process, focus on packaging, and his general depth of knowledge around his product. But that’s not what he will tell you. In his words “I worked on Wall Street, I moved to Denver, and now I make cider.”

Having graduated from the University of Rochester, Daniel spent several years working on Wall Street for Moodys and Lehman Brothers. Currently, he works with his father as an investment advisor.

In his “free time,” he enjoys doing CrossFit, working in the family garden, playing cars with the Apple Taste Tester and making the Head of Sales giggle.
