Raise a glass! Dolly Parton‘s new wine bar is officially open for business.
The country singer’s wine brand, Dolly Wines, opened up shop inside the Assembly Food Hall in Nashville, Tenn. on Friday (Aug. 1).
“Drawing from her rich musical heritage and her ethos of inclusivity, Dolly Wines are crafted to be easy-drinking, light-hearted and vibrant,” the Assembly Food Hall website reads. “Enjoy a taste of Dolly’s warmth and spirit with every sip, made just for you and this moment.”
Fans can grab a glass of Parton’s wines at her kiosk inside the Food Hall, which features over 30 places to grab a drink or a bite to eat in the heart of Music City.
The space features a long bar top nestled underneath a large photo of the “Jolene” singer cradling one of her wine bottles. Keeping with the theme of her Dolly Wines brand, the bar is lit with blue accent lights.
Working Wine to Five
Parton first launcher her own line of wines in 2024. The first bottle sold was a California Chardonnay, but she has since expanded her inventory to include red and sparkling varieties as well as more whites.
Dolly Wines is a collaboration of her company, Parton Family Cellars and Accolade Wines.

These places feel like home for many of these singers. Over the years, several artists have gotten into the bar or restaurant game, and for a select few, brands have turned into franchises with several locations and/or concepts — we’re looking at you, Jimmy Buffett!
