WINETOUR ERA Travis Kelce bids to make mom’s dreams come true ‘with $3.5m investment in Italian vineyard’ after Taylor Swift trip
Kansas City Chiefs star is constantly looking to expand business interests and look beyond his NFL career
TRAVIS Kelce has fallen in love with Italy and wants to invest in a vineyard with mom Donna.
A well-placed source close to the Kelce family has told The U.S. Sun that wine-lover Donna would be “thrilled” to be the co-owner of a business in northern Italy.
We understand Travis and his advisors have been seeking out key players in the wine industry with the view of becoming involved themselves.
The three-time Super Bowl-winning tight-end, according to our insider, was “stunned” by the landscape, culture and beauty on offer in Italy during his recent trip to Lake Como with Taylor Swift.

DREAM DESTINATION
The U.S. Sun revealed last month the pair were looking at purchasing a love nest in the idyllic Italian region.
The Kelce’s, added the source, have been thinking about investing in a vineyard for several months, with mom Donna very excited about the prospect.
A figure of around $3.5 million has been floated to Travis’ advisors who have been “in negotiations with many owners and investors” as their plans begin to gather pace.
“Many people in the industry have been talking to them and would love to be business partners with the Kelce family,” the source confirmed to The U.S. Sun.
“They see just how famous Travis has become, being one of the faces in the NFL and Taylor becoming the most famous singer in the world.”
Travis recently signed a new, two-year deal with the Chiefs, and is desperate to bag a third Super Bowl ring on the spin.
But, having had his eyes opened by Taylor’s rise to the top of the entertainment industry, the 34-year-old is expanding his horizons on several fronts.
As reported by The U.S. Sun, he has invested in a $30 million steakhouse company with superstar Kansas quarter-back Patrick Mahomes and is looking to take his Kelce Jam music festival across the United States.
