Combine a hands-on lasagna workshop at an organic Umbrian farmhouse with a one-hour guided ATV ride on Mount Subasio. Learn pasta techniques, eat what you make, then switch to quad for forest trails and an aperitif with hilltop views.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the minivan into sun-dappled olive groves; the farmhouse smells of fresh flour and wood smoke, while the trail up Mount Subasio hums with pine and the distant bell of Assisi. Mornings begin among free-range animals and organic beds where produce is still grown without pesticides. Inside the kitchen you press and roll dough, layer béchamel and ragù, and learn timing that turns pasta into a proper lasagna — the dish you cooked becomes the centerpiece of a communal lunch with local wines.
