Overview

Starting and finishing in the UNESCO World Heritage town of Siena, this 5-day gravel bike tour introduces you to some of the very best Strade Bianche in Tuscany. Overnight stays include Gaiole, the sacred home of the Eroica vintage bike event, as well as the picturesque hilltop towns of Asciano and Pienza —so you can enjoy the post-ride experience just as much as the rides themselves. We’ve hand-picked exceptional accommodations for this journey, from historic castles to charming agriturismi. Along the way, you’ll ride many of the most iconic gravel sectors featured in the Eroica and Strade Bianche routes, and explore Tuscany’s renowned wine regions, including Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino.
