L'Eroica

Overview

Where cycling celebrates its roots

Born in Gaiole in Chianti, L'Eroica is a celebration of cycling's heroic age — vintage steel bikes, wool jerseys, and the famous strade bianche, the white gravel roads that wind through the vineyards and cypress hills of Tuscany.

We join the festivities for an unforgettable weekend: riding (or simply soaking up) one of the most atmospheric events in the sport, surrounded by beautiful machines, food stops straight out of another era, and the rolling beauty of Chianti.
