The Experience

Step back in time and celebrate the history and ethos of cycling with L'Eroica in Gaiole in Chianti. This is more than a ride; it is a global movement celebrating vintage bicycles, historical apparel, and the sheer joy of suffering on beautiful white gravel roads—the famous "Strade Bianche" of Tuscany.

Our L'Eroica weekend package guarantees your entry into this sold-out event and places you right in the heart of the festival atmosphere. You will spend four days surrounded by the rolling vineyards and cypress-lined lanes of the Chianti region. We arrange your stay in a quintessential Tuscan farmhouse, provide assistance with sourcing compliant vintage bicycles if needed, and guide you through the bustling Eroica festival and market. Experience the legendary feed stops featuring ribollita and Chianti wine, and discover the true soul of cycling.
