LOS ANGELES, December 7, 2023 (VSNewsNetwork.com) - Elena Delle Donne, renowned professional women’s basketball player and Olympic gold medalist, has launched her own wine brand, Deldon Wines. This marks the first-ever wine brand initiated by a WNBA star. Deldon Wines, a collaboration with Los Angeles-based DD Project Wines, represents Delle Donne’s venture into the wine industry, showcasing her passion for wine and her commitment to charitable causes.

Delle Donne shared her enthusiasm for this new project. “Launching Deldon Wines is a dream come true for me because it ticks so many boxes in terms of my values,” said Delle Donne. “I knew my next project would be a wine brand because wine has always been part of my connection with my family — and anyone who knows my story knows how much family means to me. Being able to share this family connection with the world while also supporting charitable causes that are deeply meaningful to me makes me so excited to launch Deldon Wines.”

The brand’s first release, the 2021 Deldon Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, is priced at $49 and available exclusively online. Proceeds from the sale will benefit Delle Donne’s foundation, which supports Lyme disease research and special needs programs, and the DD Entrepreneurial Foundation, which aids women’s entrepreneurship.

Delle Donne’s achievements include being the first woman to join NBA stars in the 50/40/90 club and creating Nike’s most inclusive sneaker, the Air Deldon. The creation of Deldon Wines is another milestone in her career, driven by her personal experiences and her sister’s dual diagnoses of cerebral palsy and autism, as well as her own battle with Lyme disease.
