After 30 years of operating Spyglass Ridge Winery in Sunbury, Pennsylvania, owners Tom and Tammy Webb have decided to put the family-built winery, restaurant, and concert venue up for sale. The couple, now in their 60s, say they are looking to enjoy their retirement years and want to find a younger buyer who shares their passion for the business they've built over the decades.

Why it matters

Spyglass Ridge Winery has become a beloved institution in the Sunbury area, known for its winemaking, canned hard sodas, restaurant, and hosting major rock concerts that have drawn crowds of up to 7,000 people. The decision to sell the winery after 30 years of operation reflects broader trends in the alcohol beverage industry, as well as the personal circumstances of the owners.

The details

Tom and Tammy Webb started Spyglass Ridge Winery in 1995 after Tammy's grandparents decided to sell the family farm. The couple refurbished an 1814 barn, turning it into a winery, tasting room, and event space. Over the years, they've added a restaurant, outdoor concert stage, and production of nearly a dozen canned hard soda flavors. The winery has hosted numerous big-name rock acts like ZZ Top, Foreigner, and Joan Jett. However, with the Webb's two daughters choosing not to take over the business, and the owners now in their 60s, they've decided it's time to find a new owner to continue the Spyglass Ridge legacy.

  • Spyglass Ridge Winery opened in 1995.
  • The winery's restaurant opened on March 2, 2024.
  • Spyglass Ridge celebrated its 26th anniversary of concerts on November 1, 2025.
  • Tom Webb will turn 64 on March 30th.

What they’re saying

“We have committed 30 years of blood, sweat, and tears, bringing something unique to the Sunbury area, and we are looking for that special someone who shares our passion and is committed to continuing the legacy we've built together. This place has always been more than a business to us; it's been a labor of love, shaped by our customers, friends, family, and community.”

“When you sell something, there's a part of me, like I said, every single one of those grapevines out there in that vineyard I planted by hand. My father-in-law drove the tractor. My father worked the post-hole digger. My dad and I, he helped me. I put all the poles in, the pole pounder. My mom and dad, when they were retired, we'd go out there and train the lines. So like every one of those grapevines out there is like a child. So literally, selling this is like cutting my arm off.”

The takeaway

The decision by the Webbs to sell Spyglass Ridge Winery after 30 years of building it into a beloved community institution highlights the challenges of sustaining a family business, especially in the face of industry changes and personal circumstances. However, the winery's diverse revenue streams and loyal customer base suggest it could be an attractive acquisition for the right buyer who can carry on the Spyglass Ridge legacy.
