Wine to five! Dolly Parton ‘planning to launch own range of alcoholic drinks’ – after also trying her hand at designing dog apparel, releasing a perfume and opening a successful theme park

Country legend Dolly Parton is reportedly set to release her own wine range.

The 78-year-old singer developed the drink in the United States and has registered the trademark for the business venture in the country and with the Intellectual Property Office in Britain.

A source said The sun: ‘Dolly is always looking for new ways to reach her audience and thought her own wine was a great idea.

‘She’s not a big drinker herself, but she likes something special when she wants a drink.

‘She has been involved in the development of the wine and is happy to see it on the shelves.’

MailOnline has contacted a Dolly representative for comment.

It is hoped the products will go on sale later this year, with Dolly following in the footsteps of the likes of Gary Barlow who launched his wine range in 2021 and Kylie Minogue who started selling bottles of vino the year before .

And Dolly could be in for a big payday as Kylie’s wine grossed £25million in Britain between 2022 and 2023, while the drink was the country’s best-selling pink Prosecco.

Artist Dolly is no stranger to expanding into activities other than music.

She also has a theme park empire inspired by her celebrity and a range of other commercial endeavors.

Earlier this year, she launched a “rockin’ new baking collection” in her Duncan Hines line.

She launched the brand hard in January 2022, when she released two cake mixes – banana and coconut – and two matching frostings.

Just a year later, in January 2023, the country queen added cornbread, cookie and brownie mixes to her collection, which she revealed she mixed for husband Carl Dean: “My husband is a huge chocolate fan, so I cook him all the time. chocolate.’

Since then, she has expanded the baking range even further to include yellow cake, blueberry muffin, banana nut muffin, cinnamon swirl crumb cake and chocolate cake mixes.

Dolly has also added a new creamy chocolate buttercream frosting.

But Dolly’s foray into food is just one of the star’s adventures, with the singer dabbling in everything from cookbooks to perfumes.

It’s the latest addition to the star’s plethora of commercial ventures, which include dog clothing merchandise, fragrances, books and her infamous Dollywood theme park.

In 2022, Dolly revealed she was focusing on her playfully named Doggy Parton, a line of dog essentials including toys and even clothes.

“My love for pets is stronger than ever,” she said in a statement. “This inspired me to start my own line of Doggy Parton clothing, accessories, toys and more with a little ‘Dolly’ flair.”

There are several sturdy Dolly-themed toys available, including a soft microphone, a guitar and a bright pink platform heel.

Dolly worked with SportPet Designs on the pet items, which also include a pink cowboy hat with feathers and a hilarious blonde wig, so dog owners can make their pooch look just like the Jolene singer.

On Instagram, the singer announced her new dog brand along with her god dog Billy the Kid, an adorable French Bulldog owned by her manager Danny Nozell.

In another adorable video, Dolly was seen in a purple gingham top and tight white jeans with white platform heels as she pretended to blow-dry Billy the Kid’s blonde wig, which turned out to be perfectly photogenic.

And fans of the sensational singer can now even smell like her, as she also has a line of fragrances.

Her website features two collections, Front Porch and Scent from Above, which are sold at various retailers.

She promoted the brand in a 2021 Super Bowl commercial.

The Squarespace ad featured Dolly performing a new version of her mega-hit ‘9 to 5’ called ‘5 to 9’.

Dolly had long dreamed of releasing her own perfume.

A statement on the website for the product read: ‘Having my own perfume has always been a dream of mine.

‘For as long as I can remember, people have commented on my scent. “What are you wearing?”, “What is that wonderful smell?” and “Where can I get that?” These are all questions I have been hearing every day for years, more times than I can remember.

‘The truth is, I’ve been mixing my own fragrance for years. It is a combination of bath oils, powders and perfumes that have become my ‘signature’ and are known everywhere. I

It’s time for me to share this with you. I hope you enjoy it!’

Dolly also famously has her own theme park, known as Dollywood, which she launched in 1986. As of 2019, it had approximately 3,000 people on its payroll, making it the largest employer in the community.

It is located in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, nestled in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains.

The venue is owned by The Dollywood Company – a branch of the Herschend Family Entertainment (HFE).

The Dollywood Company also owns the Dolly Parton’s Stampede food attraction chain and Dollywood’s Splash Country – a water park.

This year, the theme park will also open this spring with a new interactive Dolly Parton Experience – “to make guests feel like they were standing next to Dolly as she traveled from Locust Ridge to stages around the world.”

Visitors to Dollywood are also invited to enjoy the theme park’s HeartSong Lodge & Resort and DreamMore Resort & Spa.
