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

The singer, 78, has been developing the drink in the United States and has registered the trademark for the business venture in the country as well as at the Intellectual Property Office in the UK. 

A source told The Sun: 'Dolly is always looking at new ways to reach her audience and thought her own wine was a swell idea.

'She isn’t a huge drinker herself but she likes to have something special when she does fancy a tipple.

'She has been involved in developing the wine and is excited for it to hit the shelves.'

MailOnline has contacted a representative for Dolly 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 released his wine range in 2021 and Kylie Minogue who began selling bottles of vino the year before.

And Dolly could be in for a big pay day as Kylie's wine made £25million in the UK from 2022 to 2023 while the drink was the country's best-selling pink Prosecco.

Recording artist Dolly is no stranger to branching out into businesses other than music,

She also has a theme park empire inspired by her celebrity persona and a flurry of other commercial endeavours.

Earlier this year she launched a 'rockin' new baking collection' in her Duncan Hines line.

She hard launched the brand in January 2022, when she released two cake mixes - banana and coconut - and two kinds of frosting to match.

Just a year later, in January 2023, the country queen added cornbread, biscuit, and brownie mixes to her collection, which she revealed she mixes up for husband Carl Dean: 'My husband's a big chocolate fan, so I'm always cooking him chocolate.'

She has since expanded the baking range even further by adding a yellow cake, blueberry muffin, banana nut muffin, cinnamon swirl crumb cake and chocolate cake mixes.

Dolly also added a new creamy chocolate buttercream frosting.

But Dolly's foray into food is just one of the star's ventures, with the singer having dabbled in everything from cookbooks to perfumes.

It's the latest addition into the star's plethora of commercial endeavours, which includes dog apparel merchandise, fragrances, books and her infamous theme park - Dollywood.

In 2022, Dolly revealed that she was focusing on her playfully named Doggy Parton, a line of essential canine supplies 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 apparel, accessories, toys and more with a little "Dolly" flair.'

There are several chewy Dolly-themed toys available, including a plush microphone, guitar and hot pink platform heel.

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

On Instagram, the songstress announced her new dog brand while joined by her god-dog Billy the Kid, an adorable French Bulldog owned by her manager Danny Nozell.

Another cute video showed Dolly in a purple gingham top and tight white jeans with white platform heels as she pretended to blow dry the blond wig Billy the Kid, who proved to be perfectly photogenic.

And fans of the sensational songstress can now even smell like her - as she has a line of fragrances out too.

Her website boasts two collections, Front Porch and Scent from Above - sold at a variety of outlets.

She advertised the brand in a 2021 Super Bowl commercial.

The Squarespace advert saw Dolly performing a new take on her mega-hit '9 to 5' called '5 to 9'.

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. Pictured in 1988

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 fantastic smell?," and "Where can I get it?" are all questions I have heard daily for more years than I can remember.

'The truth is, I have been blending my own scent for years. It’s a combination of bath oils, powders and perfumes that have become my "signature" and is known everywhere I go. I

't's time for me to share this with you. I hope you enjoy!'

It's 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 diner attraction chain and Dollywood's Splash Country - a water park.

This year will also see the theme park open with a new interactive Dolly Parton Experience this spring - 'to make guests feel as if they were alongside Dolly as she journeyed from Locust Ridge to stages around the world'.

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

Beyond her music and more commercial projects, Dolly has also dabbled in acting - famously starring in the movie 9 to 5, which is also a musical - and the critically acclaimed Steel Magnolia (pictured)
