Very few places on the planet can claim to have the best of everything - food, architecture, countryside, art, and wine. Tuscany is one part of the world that truly can!

Beginning in the Val d'Orcia, a UNESCO World-Heritage Site, at one of the world's leading hotels, the Adler Thermae Hotel and Spa, we'll embark on a week of cycling that will showcase the very best of  Tuscany's eternal beauty and culminate with participation in the L'Eroica Cycling Festival, a one-day ride on the true backroads or "strada bianchi" of Tuscany! Each day, you'll ride on cypress-lined, serpentine roads through ancient vineyards and olive groves while enjoying all the atmosphere of such magical hilltop Renaissance villages such as Montalcino, Pienza, Radda in Chianti, Siena, and many others. In addition to the unforgettable cycling, you'll enjoy our luxury hotels with their world-class spas, Tuscan cuisine, and local Chianti and Brunello wines. So join us this autumn for a luxury tour of Tuscany with the included bonus of the L'Eroica Cycling Festival and discover for yourself this little corner of the world that will leave you inspired!
