Eroica, the cycling tourism event

Every year, at the beginning of October, the white roads of Chianti come alive with wheels, wool sweaters, and vintage bicycles.

This year, it will take place on 3 and 4 October 2026 in Gaiole in Chianti.

L’Eroica  is much more than a cycling race: it’s a journey through time, a celebration of the authentic hard work and unfiltered beauty of Tuscany. Participants—from all over the world—ride historic routes on vintage bicycles, traversing picture-perfect landscapes of vineyards, cypress trees, and medieval villages.

The event takes place in  Gaiole in Chianti , just a few kilometers from us. Last year, we had the pleasure of hosting cyclists who participated: a truly special atmosphere, filled with enthusiasm, conviviality, and passion for the road.

If you love cycling—or simply want to experience an authentic and unforgettable event—plan your visit for October and let yourself be captivated by the spirit of L’Eroica.

An adventure steeped in history and the wind blowing through the hills.
