Gaiole in Chianti is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Siena in the Italian region Tuscany, located about Шаблон:Convert southeast of Florence and about Шаблон:Convert northeast of Siena. Forbes named it number one in its list of "Europe's Most Idyllic Places To Live."

Each year in March, a professional bicycle race is held, known as Strade Bianche in reference to the white gravel roads of the Sienna region. In October there is a public event, using many of the same roads, for vintage bicycle enthusiasts known as L'Eroica. This starts and finishes in Gaiole including a full week of festivities.
