Cycling L'EroicA &
Tuscany Gravel

SEPTEMBER 26 - October 5, 2022
We are proud to feature this 11-day tour which combines VIP entry into two Italian gravel cycling events, gourmet food from Michelin-award winning Chef Fabio Flagiello, and exclusive wine tastings from some of Italy's best wineries. Start the week by exploring the best biking routes, vineyards, historic villages, and pizza in Tuscany and participating in the infamous L’Eroica, which celebrates cycling in its purest form - white gravel roads and retro bikes, helmets and jerseys. Plus take part in vintage bike expo, festival and other special events in Chianti that weekend. Spend the middle of the week riding gravel roads through the Tuscan countryside. Finish by participating with the  Eroica weekend.

With all of this riding, you’re going to work up an appetite. Reward yourself each night with a private gourmet meal prepared by Chef Fabio. If he’s not in the kitchen cooking, Fabio will select a one of his favorite restaurants for locally-sourced food and exquisite wine. 

Do not miss an epic week of gravel cycling and culinary adventure!
